That's it. That's all.

Take it up with Management.

You can tell it's Tuesday. Sarcasm and an oblique Carnivale reference.

Anyhoo...

I know- two months. Sorry about that.

I don't have a prompt for today but we will have one this week, I promise.

I'm having a little trouble coming up with this week's prompt, due to typical holiday stresses and general crap. Everything I've considered looks to just take everyone down a potentially painful path, and that's not something I'm willing to inflict on you guys, at least at this time of year.

So, I'm working on it.

I gave everybody a week off. It seemed necessary. When a prompt goes up on Monday, per your feedback here, I may give a deadline AFTER the holidays, just because I have brief fits of human emotions such as ::shudder:: compassion.

Let me know if you want deadline during the holidays, or I should shelve the seeds until after the traditional New

Work and illness have apparently taken their toll - for the second week in a row, I got nothin'. The dribles of prose that I've been able to squeeze out for the past 2 seeds are pretty meh, and don't even amount to a paragraph between them. Hopefully, I'll have a little inspiration to go with next week's seed.

“Well, I know I don’t know you/

and you’re probably not what you seem.”
