More Talent In The Village................

Twilight deepens as I walk from the fog of the city towards The Village. Fumbling for a match, I strike not only it but a posture as I swing access the gateway into it. Gently prodding those who greet me with a remembered moniker (which only slightly of their choosing). I whisper to the friendly overlord and settle in amongst the inhabitants who lurk this corner of the Wide World. We have banded as noncommittal travelers to oblivion’s ecstasy breathing domain. We come from afar, each and all. Swearing allegiance to none but our quests, we meet here to discuss our fortunes and ills, both of this world and another. I see others slide their often lubricated tongues into the fray of language I only occasionally monitor. Laboring for none by myself in this Village, I can only occasionally string out the lexicon used by long time Villagers. I see no Police. I see no Construction Worker. I see no Sailor. I see no large, Half-Naked Indians. Yet we remain Village People, banded together by mutual lust for adaptation to whatever foray we decide upon this eve. We shall never change the world outside our own, but whatever is outside our realm matters not. We are here to entertain ourselves and others, be it with wit or achievement. Here we sit and lounge, deepening our research into fun and revelry. Their faces and True Names are unknown to me; but I know them. Raising my glass to my sweat-beaded lips I cherish each night I meet with thee, Village.



This blurb for the blog was written by WahooSyrup, a new regular to join us in The Village. Welcome and keep writing.
Yet again I am amazed by the talented users The Village has in its cloistered walls. I am so lucky to have so many of you willing to give me your writings to post. Thanks to all.

Happy New Year...........

Ah, the start of a new year! Will it be a great one for you? Only time will tell. While you are finding that out, please enjoy some more talented prose from some of the wonderful people in the Village. I am amazed at how many of the Villagers are excellent writers, poets and musicians. Feel free to send me anything you want posted and I will review it and post it.


Badshad comes up with funny stuff all the time, this is something he said the other day in chat:

When you enter The Village to see what is there, remember your manners and take special care.
Watch out for the trolls, with their mean ugly mugs, and don't be surprised by the *glomps* and the *hugs*


vanilla_dreaming has written some wonderful things too:

Last night changed me forever. It’s hard to put into words what happened to me, but I shall try my best, for only in understanding will you be able to avoid my fate, and the cold, dark emptiness that surrounds my mind. I sat, last night, as I always do, typing away at my keyboard, surfing the net, browsing meaningless web pages to relieve the boredom that envelops my life. I watched as the red lights of the clock flashed at me, different numbers, different patterns each time I looked, yet still ticking, counting down. But to what? I glanced back, unseeing, to the screen, my mind shut off from my body. I knew I should get some sleep, God knows I needed it, but it’s harder than it sounds. For someone like me, at any rate. The numbers ticked on reassuringly, keeping track of seconds, minutes, hours that passed by. 22:32, 22:33, 22:34, 01:84. I did a double take, surely I wasn’t in that much need of sleep?
