Till your singing eyes and fingers

My flash "Upon the Land, On the Sea" has been accepted by Flytrap. It was written for seajules ("Alphas. Worth their weight in selkie skins") and may one day turn into something longer.

In the last dream before I woke up this morning, a boy with glasses in a houseful of old books asked me, "When was the last time you breathed someone else's breath?"

Otherwise very little of excitement has happened to me for the last day or so, and all things considered, I think I can live with this.

My flash "Upon the Land, On the Sea" has been accepted by Flytrap.

Congratulations.

That may've been me. I was fantasising about entering your dreams last night. Though I don't have a house, much less one filled with old books. Maybe it was Lucien?

Congratulations.

Thank you!

Maybe it was Lucien?

. . . Does this mean I mentioned that he's my favorite character from The Sandman?

It means your description sounds like Lucien, though "boy" implies maybe a mini-Lucien. You may've mentioned liking him--I don't remember.

I don't think it was him: the boy in the dream was fair-haired and geeky, which I do not use as a pejorative; Lucien would have been the wrong century. But he is my favorite from The Sandman and greygirlbeast's The Dreaming, followed closely by Cain and Abel (mostly Cain). I have no idea what that says about me.

Well, then it might have been me except for the geeky, as pejorative or not, I am far too cool, I think.

That you like skinny guys with glasses? I often thought Cain and Lucien looked a little similar.

Congratulations!

Interesting dream. Could've been the younger version of me, even, I suppose. ;-)

And, considering, I'm glad about the lack of excitement as well.

Seriously. The next step up probably would have been meteorites through my bedroom ceiling. Wait, that would be actually be cool . . .

Well, I suppose the meteorites might be forgiven coming through your ceiling as long as they didn't actually hit you. ;-)

Your dream reminds me of Ysabeau Wilce's Flora Segunda. And the boy would have to be the house's butler. If you haven't read this particular YA book I do highly recommend it.

And congratulations on your flash fiction being accepted.

Just yesterday I was thinking that I might have to read it. This is now confirmed.

And congratulations on your flash fiction being accepted.

Thank you!
