Aw, shucks.
I may be able to post another with our Literary Limey's help. I haven't been able to scan very many, not posessing the technology.

I don't know about that - Mr Braling isn't deviant. He's orthodox!

WG, did a bit of that in my youth.

DS, that's a capital "O" in Orthodox, there, Bub.

I know - I didn't mean it that way. I meant it in the lower-case sense. Funnier that way.

WildGravity, is that a starfish on your face???


She stood silently looking out into the great sallow distances of sea bottom, as if recalling something, her yellow eyes soft and moist...

Went to Point Dume this past weekend, and walked on their magnificent, rocky beach. The tide had gone out and left behind, attached to the great rocks on the beach were dozens of orange and red "sea stars" as they call them here, or "starfish" as others call them, and thousands of oysters.

Beautiful and surreal.

We used to camp at San Onofre (sp?) and one time I peeled a starfish off of a rock and brought it home. I set it out in the backyard to dry (and die) and it made the biggest mess I never imagined. First, there was the ants, everywhere ants, a thick black shifting mass of ants. Then, there was odor, a hideous odor (what's that word, again?), a thick, foul stench which stayed in the nostrils and the back of the throat and clung to the clothing and hair like smoke and then it got inside the body, at which point there was only one way to exorcise the evil invader, and that choice was not mine... I hurled, called Earl, bleu chunks as I retreated from the relentless assault from the starfish.

Oh, and I'll never forget the SOUND the ants made as they bore in and out of the starfish. It just ain't right for that damn starfish to haunt me like this.

STARFISH!!! Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch.....

Thank you for that vivid account of starfish decomposition, grass. "Oh the smell of starfish in the morning, nothing beats it, not even napalm."

WildGravity, that picture is haunting and alienlike and a little creepy. Job well done. I'm going to work on posting a picture soon...
