The Tears of the Phoenix (A Ret-Con Interlude)

On the satellite known by some as the Moon, there is a cliff. Around it, there is only silence, and cold. This cliff has sat undisturbed for thousands and thousands of years - until today. The first thing an observer would have seen was a new light in the sky, bright and shining and growing brighter as it drew near.

Friday, December 16, 1994

Mark Jenkins, dressed for his part as Joseph the father of Jesus, was ducking punches thrown at him by Jim Collins who was Melchior, the Magi bearing frankincense, and Henry Addams who was Gaspar, the Magi bearing gold. Luckily, the boys were not yet in possession of the props.

The girl who never was.

Fiction by Johnny Cumlately.

A sad tale of confused gender.

The body was discovered by a man walking his dog. Or rather, the dog found it and would not obey his masters calls! It was in a small patch of woodland about a mile outside the village of Lockvale. A girl of 25 to 30.

Part 14 -- Escape from Hell

Into the Valley of Death, or... ‘What do you mean... Audience?’

We are in the RV and on our way by 7:30 and Tanner figures we will just make our arrival time to begin to set up. I’m not exactly dressed to help with that and remind him. He again takes this moment to assuage me and to give me a bit of a heads-up as to what’s coming down.

A short one tonight. I have to work, but this is at least an offering.
