Post forty-one

Someone, an illustrator whose other works I know, decided to make David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' into a childrens' book. I think, if the time ever comes when reality matches the myths and somehow Hypnos and I are blessed with children, this is the type of book I'd read them when they got old enough to understand. Then we could weep about the fate of

You'd read something this depressing to your kids?

[acquiredone]

Only when they were old enough to understand and appreciate it. Their uncle would be Death, so I can't think a depressing book is that odd.

[overhard]

Thanatos? No, not so much when you put it that way.

[acquiredone]

The one and only. See, it makes sense.

[overhard]

He must be some brother-in-law.

[acquiredone]

I think he is.

[overhard]

And if you pop out any little ones, I'm invited to the baby shower, right?

[acquiredone]

Sure, but I think that's a pretty big 'if'.

[overhard]

Ehh, you never know. You may get lucky.

[acquiredone]

True... and if I do I'll make sure you get an invite to the baby shower.

[overhard]

My thanks, my lady. I will cross my fingers that this blue thing will be off my arm before then.

[acquiredone]

I think, even if I tried super hard, you'd get your cast off before then.

[overhard]

Here's hoping, otherwise I'll be bloody miserable.

[acquiredone]

Is it heavy, or can you use it like a weapon?

[overhard]

Heavier than I'm used to, but it's not like I've never broken bones before. I could probably hit someone in the face with it, break a nose if it was hard enough.

[acquiredone]

That's crazy. I've never broken any bones before so I dunno how that works. It looks pretty though, like the blue and the stuff people drew on it. Are you going to keep it once it's off?
