"Hi, I'm back!" I announced my entrance as usual as I reappeared in the classroom. By this point Judy was used to my Phasing antics, as she barely batted an eye at my sudden arrival.

Then I opened the front door.

2020-03-27 17:58:27 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Dear Readers!
To put it short, I just got over a nice little case of pneumonia. My fever's finally gone, and I can now speak two sentences without coughing my lungs out, so life's getting a little bit more tolerable as of late. I'm planning on getting back to writing (as, surprise-su...

I gave each of them a wry look in turn and tried gently shook them off, to little apparent success....

In retrospect, my question came out just a bit more sheepishly than I originally intended, but before I could correct my tone, my request was rebuffed with the bluntness of the business end of a war hammer.
"Denied," Judy rebuked me on no uncertain terms...

How could I best describe the sense of tension enveloping my living room at the moment? 'Palpable' sounded about right, but I felt it just wasn't quite 'meaty' enough. 'Oppressive', on the other hand, was just a little too strong. It was, if I may dare to be poetic for a moment, like the kind of ...
