The parable of the shower.

So it's getting on to that time, the days grey and strangely lit, the air so cold and so pure. You are certainly far more busy than you would like.

The year dies slowly all around you. It's time to read about an annunciation.

The Parable of the Shower.The angel of the LORD cometh upon you in the shower at the worst possible moment: one hand

It really is, innit? There's this one line -- Thou sayest unto the angel: I am in the shower. -- that does not cease to crack me up, and I've read that story at least three times in a row now. And that's even before we get to Missus Van Metre, who is in her own way as awesome as any of those other messengers.

Anyhow, I'm glad you liked it as well. It's like sharing a little warmth, or something.

It's pretty great; I'm glad you think so too *g* The writer's website has links to some of her other work; I am particularly fond of the absorbing, lengthy, terrifying one called Sugar. It's food-related for very good reason.
