Short Story of the Month
A Fate of Gods
Cyclops Ken hefted his weapon. It was a good piece of wood with a big sharp tip, a spear. At first glance, it was clear that it could pierce anything. These filmmakers really did their work properly. Real rocks, no fake snow or windstorm made by just one fan.
It was worth it. Finally, after all these years he got an opportunity.
Being of the Month
Quinotaur
This sea creature, described as a five-horned bull, dates back to the seventh century. Or rather, it's mentioned in Fredegar's Chronicle, written at that time. But it is no mere bovine with a penchant for wet environments, but, as befits a proper aquatic monster, beef combined with fish. And it is not just any cattle, but the one with a lineage going back to Neptune, the god of the seas.
Other Stuff
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
"Let’s jump off!” cried Wag, beginning to hop toward the edge.
“I wouldn’t do that,” said the Land calmly, “because I’d only run after you again. You might as well settle down and grow up with me. I’m not such a bad little Country,” it added quietly, “just a bit rough and uncultivated.“
