The Propagational Library (9): “But What About Me?”
The latest installment in the weekly serial story called The Propagational Library appears here: …in which The Librarian asks the most important question we ever ask – and puts a pretty big dent in the answer (or it puts a big dent in him). If you’ve never read any of the series, I encourage you to head [...]
The Propagational Library (8): Dreamtime
See the latest installment in the ongoing Propagational Library series, here: …in which The Librarian (having discovered four additional dimensions of time) drifts off to sleep, and more than one light winks on as he encounters someone very familiar. As always, if you’re unfamiliar with the series, I encourage you to begin instead with the [...]
The Propagational Library (7): Thenward
See the latest installment in the ongoing Propagational Library series, here: …in which The Librarian learns what it means to lunge, just so – and discovers a previously unknown sense. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, you almost certainly will prefer to begin instead with the Table of Contents/Overview page.
Midweek Music Break: Water Liars, “Dog Eaten”
[Image(s): Water Liars. You'd never imagine that a couple of guys who look like this would write, play, and sing so sweetly, would you?] I don’t know how the duo who call themselves Water Liars came up with that name. I do know, however, that it’s the title of the first story in a collection by [...]
The Propagational Library: A Brief Lull
I’m not going to be writing (i.e., posting) new installments in the series for a couple of weeks; the next piece will be written and posted, if all goes well, on Saturday, April 21. (I’ll still be doing other stuff at Running After My Hat during that time, though.) In the meantime… A few people [...]
The Propagational Library (6): Alone
See the latest installment in the ongoing Propagational Library series, here: …in which The Librarian, newly awoken, plays with space and time, and takes his time (and space) doing it. If you’re unfamiliar with the series at all, you might prefer to start with the Table of Contents/Overview page.
The Propagational Library (5): The Two Gabes
See the latest installment in the ongoing Propagational Library series, here: …in which Kali comes calling. [Note: this installment is longer than the previous ones, for reasons partly to do with content and partly to do with momentum. You may prefer to print it out and read it offline. But it's still less than 4,000 [...]
The Propagational Library (4): The Room
See the latest installment in the ongoing Propagational Library series, here: …in which Gabriel Naude, having learned of the imminent and certain destruction of Earth and all life, begins to gets a sense of how he may “help.” (What ”help” he can offer, though, remains an unanswered question.) If you’re unfamiliar with the series at all, you might [...]
The Propagational Library (3): A Barrel of Monkeys
[Here by accident? You might want to first read what came before: Introduction, Chapter 1: The Finding, and Chapter 2: Kali.] Gabe knew, by now, he had little chance of returning productively to the darkroom for the rest of the afternoon and evening. He was a little hungry, not remotely famished (and not at all sure he saw [...]
The Propagational Library (2): Kali
[Here by accident? You might want to first read the Introduction and Chapter 1.] After his next hour with them, Gabe sincerely hoped the Lanes would tell him something to summon up his sense of humor. He wondered if he’d ever laugh again. Still not moving beyond the entry hall, Gabe asked them to provide [...]
