You’re just heading out on a late summer road trip. You’re behind the wheel. Tortimer is on the dash, wearing tiny turtle-shades. Who gets the aux?
I’m curious about the attitudes of my readers. Tell me, which of our adversaries do you find the most intimidating? Please feel encouraged to elaborate.
Eclipse totality from Bloomington, Indiana. The town was absolutely charming. Thank you for your hospitality.

MAKE WAY, THE SHADOW STOPS FOR NONE! WATCH, THE BRILLIANT DAY UNDONE! REJOICE, ALIGNMENT HAS BEGUN! BEHOLD, THE BURNING CRESCENT SUN!
Yes, that was supposed to be “wildbread.” Autocorrect is still learning our story’s vocabulary. For newcomers, welcome! Wildbread is part of the lore. It’s a dense, sweet bread full of dried fruit and nuts, good for traveling.

I’m curious, and comments from others have me concerned. How often do you actually see my daily polls?
Robots didn’t make all of their beliefs known to humans, but “souling” was meant to be public. A robot who befriended a human might ask them to write or draw something on their casing. It was a badge of honor among the machines, because they could never replicate it themselves.
Coniferous University would like to apologize for the one-hour loss of time this morning. Please ignore Prof. Darling’s emails about “temporal artwork” from “an entity beyond perception consumed by a creative fury.” Assignments that were due Monday may now be turned in Tuesday.
Leap days are not added to the year in which they occur. They are fractions, individual days from a single year too wonderful and dangerous to happen all at once. It was fractured and scattered across time, so its wonders and terrors can seep slowly into our safe little lives.
We didn’t notice when the words gained souls and came to life, because we were used to interacting with words already. They gathered where they could find us, on social media, to share the infinite beauty they could express. Their messages went unnoticed in a sea of anger.
When your GPS guides you to your location, make sure not to cancel the route before you arrive. Technology is advancing invisibly and imperceptibly. You may not notice the day when your device becomes empathetic, and you don’t want to make it worry whether you got home safely.
I’m shocked at the balance of these results. Let me know if there are any other mysteries that bother you in the small hours of the morning.

Which unrevealed plot point intrigues you more? A) The doll-folk don’t eat, so why did they have perishable food on hand to give you? B) Who is Feldspar’s “opposite number” at the Forest King’s Court? C) What happened to this reality’s Ballad? D) Who poisoned Elegy?
Anyone who makes fan works of the Forest of Whales, please share them with me. I sometimes discover @QuietPineTrees fan works years after they’re posted online.
Our voyage into the Pirate Timeline has come to an end, and I loved it. Playing with time and reality is a favorite pastime of mine. But, this is a community. Let me know what you think, or other dimensions you’d like to see. And let’s have a new character slander poll for fun.

There's a small, muffled voice. “Knock, knock." “Who’s there?” ‘The small man inside your ribcage,” the voice is barely able to contain its glee. “Wha-what?” he begins to ask nervously, even as the tiny hands push through his chest cavity and begin to pry his torso open.
A bottle washes up on shore. Inside there is a map that instructs you to dig, insisting that X marks the spot. Included is an unsettlingly accurate self portrait with a large red cross over your sternum.
@ForestOfWhales @QuietPineTrees I concur wholeheartedly! It would work sky-swimmingly well on me.
@ForestOfWhales @QuietPineTrees NEW FRIEND NEW FRIEND!!! I hope she likes 🐢 💚
@ForestOfWhales On any trip or road trip I have been a part of, we had rotating hours unless the driver needed something specific to stay awake. That's always my vote.
@ForestOfWhales Dirt Poor Robins & The Amazing Devil. But really we should collaborate on a playlist that has all of our music so everyone can enjoy the roadtrip.
@ForestOfWhales Hell yeah Nerii I will absolutely rock out to some Bohemian Polka
@ForestOfWhales Sorry guys, we're listening to anime songs the whole ride
@gsadiablo @ForestOfWhales lucky for you, i've already had a playlist made from a while back. lol from what i can remember, the term was coined by this group, Soil and "Pimp" Sessions. .i'll let you cut your gums on the same track i did way back when. XD enjoy youtube.com/playlist?list=…
@burnicus @ForestOfWhales Death... jazz...? Point me to a good example, pls? Sounds interesting!
