Just one voice, singing. Like Barry Manilow. All he asks is . . . Oh go on, you know the rest. | ||

Griff - Proto says hi, and sorry he's not here. | ||

From henceforth he shall be known as ProtoVOID.  <-----this is Azathoth's emoticon | ||

I heard he was kinapped by a crazy scientist who gave him mechanical legs like a spider and he is now too ashamed to be amongst other people. He hangs out in the countryside at night, eating deer and crawling around on cliff sides, screaming. | ||

Or was it the mechanical tail of a seal? Eating fish and slapping himself silly on green rocks that look like martian heads. | ||

No, it was his head grafted onto a big tarantula's body, sort of pulling his head about, too heavy to lift, screaming and seeing web patterns in his mind. | ||

Proto? Say none of this was true. (Who the hell was Griff?) | ||

Tony, have you been resurrecting long-dead threads? | ||

Wow, so much oddness. I miss Albie's writing. His work here is the best horror novel of the last ten years. | ||

Wasn't Griff also Albie? | ||

I'm still in touch with Albie. I think he's become Merlin. Griff was somebody else, Craig. So sad to think he just went and we never noticed. Caroline - yes.  | ||
| Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 99.126.164.88 |
Ah. Thanks, Tony. So sad to think he just went and we never noticed. Indeed.  Anyone know what's up with Rhysaurus, btw?... | ||

Rhys took a huff, didn't he? | ||
| Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 99.126.164.88 |
I meant more what's up with him lately... hoping he's alive and well and prospering... like everyone who's come and gone here.... | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.156.210.82 |
Ah...dunno. He unfriended me on Facebook for no apparent reason so I've lost touch. | ||
| Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 99.126.164.88 |
"Unfriended": soon this will be accepted into Webster's, if'n it's not already.... | ||

Nick Royle wrote a brilliant story called UNFOLLOW. A twitter reference. | ||
| Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 99.126.164.88 |
Indeed, Zed, it sounds pretty good.... Unfollow Nicholas Royle provides the shortest piece in the anthology, six pages of sublimely sinister text in which the protagonist becomes enraptured with a lady taxidermist he meets via twitter and tries to ingratiate himself by providing her with raw material. There's a surreal feel to the story, with other people at the periphery of events and a play on twitter vocabulary in the story's title that gets expanded on in the text, all of which leads up to a beautifully understated ending, one that feels just right.

>>Anyone know what's up with Rhysaurus, btw?...<< Rhys was posting on the BFS forum quite recently. I was glad to see him still around. |
