Hey, Your Nose is on Fire!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      So many questions! Maybe some answers next week?

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      We're gaining all kinds of psychological insights into spider fairies this storyline!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      We must be just past the story's halfway mark: the characters are starting to realize that they what they thought was going on maybe actually isn't.

The Terebinth Story Archive      And now we get a proper adversarial villanelle! About time, too!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      That darn past! It gets into ev'rything!      Which I believe I've said multiple times in the past...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      I've never been drunk myself, but then I've never been a female spider fairy, either...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Turns out, according to Google, that spiders can get drunk! They've done experiments!      That's the sort of thing I can support my tax dollars going to fund. Maybe I should start lobbying to get that included on next year's 1040 form.      Oh, and always remember to put "-ai" in Google's search bar before typing your query. That way, it mostly excludes returning any of this current LLM nonsense...

The Terebinth Story Archive      Lamont's clearest exposition of his ideas on change and life and whatnot probably comes in the "Indolence" section of Interstitial , the non-story that happened for 12 years around here before the current storyline began. Start with page 1,740 and go on from there if you're interested.

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Can spiders even get drunk? I need to do more research!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      I don't know why I insist on writing stories where I hafta draw the Nulla Lucis. The brown pen I always used to color her dried up long ago, so I've gotta simulate the colors electronically. And that just takes forever!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      I always get all at sea when people start discussing philosophical subjects. But have a group of magical spider fairies do it, and I'm all aboard!

The Terebinth Story Archive      Esther and Lamont have been having this conversation for a long time: at least as far back as page 1,736 and following, and that was almost exactly three years ago in the run-up to our current storyline...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      If you're a giant spider fairy walking through a city made of magical spider webs, do you still hafta worry about brushing face-first into random cobwebs? Or is that maybe all that you do every day?      Oh, the things that go on in my brain!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Because of course the magical spider people in this world have Italian food! What a silly question!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Wunna these days, I'm gonna remember how to draw a boxhound. Just in time for the story to wrap up, I reckon...

The Terebinth Story Archive      The better part of valor, I'd call it, for a flying cockroach not to get involved in a fight between coyotes and a weasel. Or "palmetto bug," I guess, is the term Lamont prefers...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Yes, there's nothing like family reunions, is there?

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      We first met the sergeant at the gate of the Airborne Palace way, way back near the end of our 8th storyline, " Under Hill ." She then popped up in the background now and again, like, say, near the end of our 60th storyline, " Waxing and Waning ," and now, here she apparently is in the foreground!
