Short Story of the Month
Sunday, the Lord’s Day

Being of the Month
Ilmatar
After some time, the lonely life of Ilmatar, the Wind Maiden, grew tiresome. So she descended from the heavens into... the water, for there was no land yet below. As she swam in the waves, the East Wind, which lifted them, blew seawater into the heavenly maiden, thereby performing what was considered natural and normal for horses in the Mediterranean, albeit not by the ocean, but by the air currents themselves.
He made her pregnant.

Sherlockiana: Police Officers
Even though Holmes became the patron of all literary detectives that came after him, he didn't consider himself as one. He thought of himself as a higher form of a sleuth.
Quote of the Month
She enjoyed the notion that New York was home, and that she missed it, but in fact the only thing she really missed was pizza. And not just any old pizza, but the sort of pizza they brought to your door if you phoned them up and asked them. That was the only real pizza. Pizza that you had to go out and sit at a table staring at red paper napkins for wasn't real pizza however much extra pepperoni and an-chovy they put on it.
— Douglas Adams. The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
