...I have no idea how that art appeared above. I think something in the site's code just grabbed the nearest picture from the Similar Stories sidebar...
At any rate: after what's felt like some semi-deep drama in the other August postings, I wanted to close out the month with something lighter. So here we have 5800 words of mostly being silly for the sake of silliness, because we've been diving into the shadows for most of summer and at some point, even Luna will want to come up for air.
Patron-chosen blog topics will continue to appear into September. (I have one currently about a quarter-written, but I didn't want to rush it -- and following the composition of this story, I'm feeling a little wiped out again. Also, coughing. Actually, I may be getting a cold.) Beyond that, we'll see what next month brings.
However, for those who peek here (or just open the notification mail, which it took me some time to learn about), here's a minor preview.
The title of the next Triptych chapter will be Motif.
