Viola thinking of him rather than anyone else and then ditching him in that place where the lighthouse stands and is guarded by a ferocious cheetah lady named Jyotsna... too many things in too short a time... How am I supposed to digest all this thought Tyrese with anxiety that&#39;s been building up for quite some time now... the worst part of it all isn&#39;t the fact that he couldn&#39;t make any sense of the things that were happening, but the immediate alarm he felt for the fact that Viola was nowhere to be found... Well yes, he did leave her there and has come back to his quiet home... but only because he had assumed that she&#39;s done the same... Now what?&lt;br /&gt; He looked everywhere for her, asked all of the neighbours if they&#39;ve seen her recently, he has even interrogated her cat out of desperation and now even if he would want to get back there - wherever the corridor was - he couldn&#39;t, not without Viola&#39;s help. So what if she is trapped in that world too and without his help she cannot come back? No, she must know much more of it than she lets on: she knew of Jyotsna lady and her heavy steps, she knew of the lighthouse... How did she know all of these things? &lt;br /&gt; Like Tyrese&#39;s insomnia condition wasn&#39;t enough, he felt like he was going mad over this whole situation. The people who know im didn&#39;t care taking him seriously, nor did his friends: &quot;You need to take the pills and rest. I&#39;m sure she just left on a holiday or perhaps to see her mother...&quot;, &quot;So why did she leave the cat here???&quot;, &quot;Well Ty, is it really her cat? Are you sure? I mean it&#39;s always here in your apartment looking as comfy as a cat could ever feel... when at home...&quot;.&lt;br /&gt; Great, he thought, there is some kind of a dead end I&#39;m in and I&#39;ve got no idea how to solve things. Clearly he couldn&#39;t ask anyone for help. He couldn&#39;t go to the onlookers and tell them of an immense corridor appearing in his living room could he? And there is this thing with the yet unsolved beliefs of the meaning of the year 158... This number for some awkward reason suscitated turmoil in the minds of half of the population at the Creil Dominion. Some say that the worlds will collide and will be mingled, others say that half of the planet, or even more, will be dry dead and everyone will have to be evacuated to other parts of the planet, the other significant number of people thought nothing at all and that the number 158 is the number of a year that comes after number 157. Yes. Imagine going public with this apparently lunatic stuff that he has crossed dominions... The situation is just..... But then Tyrese, after a month of worrying and being paranoid and all, has finally had a spark of intelligence seep through to him from thick layers of his subconsciousness so confused for lack of sleep..... Viola&#39;s things! He should go and search her apartment for something that could help him go back to the other Dominion..... &lt;br /&gt; Full of hope and zeal he stood up and rushed upstairs to her apartment. No keys... should he ask her cat for a copy? The cat was right next to him &quot;Ah! You finally remember where you used to live huh?&quot; and turning round for some forceful and meaningful blow kicked her apartment door.&lt;br /&gt; The kitty by his side was calm as always and seemed to grin up at him because the door remained shut and intact. Worse news were that Viola&#39;s next door neighbour was trolling to her door from the inside. This last part has forced Tyrese to give it a better kick and the door gave in. Him and the kitty have hurriedly stepped inside and have shut it behind them..... They heared the neighbour open the door, wait a little and then close it again. &quot;Good! We&#39;re inside! Missed your home much?&quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fallen-ashes.blogspot.com/feeds/1314449722874830784/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5469153050490652920/1314449722874830784' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5469153050490652920/posts/default/1314449722874830784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5469153050490652920/posts/default/1314449722874830784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fallen-ashes.blogspot.com/2011/12/year-157.html' title='the year 157'/><author><name>zany rattus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07495876280814925333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469153050490652920.post-2113669558451720664</id><published>2010-12-01T10:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-01T10:15:55.982-08:00</updated><title type='text'>ticket to nothingness,/,/,/Rexes Dominion, Jasmine</title><content type='html'>Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000224 EndHTML:0000009526 StartFragment:0000003327 EndFragment:0000009490 SourceURL:file://localhost/Volumes/ZANY%20RATTUS/LOONYMONSTA/SEABLOOD/ZANY%20RATTUS/a%20ticket%20to%20nothingness.doc      equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=utf-8&quot;&gt;  11&quot;&gt;  Word 11&quot;&gt; &lt;link rel=&quot;File-List&quot; href=&quot;file://localhost/Users/zanyrattus/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml&quot;&gt; &lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;o:documentproperties&gt;   &lt;o:template&gt;Normal&lt;/o:Template&gt;   &lt;o:revision&gt;0&lt;/o:Revision&gt;   &lt;o:totaltime&gt;0&lt;/o:TotalTime&gt;   &lt;o:pages&gt;1&lt;/o:Pages&gt;   &lt;o:words&gt;461&lt;/o:Words&gt;   &lt;o:characters&gt;2631&lt;/o:Characters&gt;   &lt;o:company&gt;*** ********** * ******** **&lt;/o:Company&gt;   &lt;o:lines&gt;21&lt;/o:Lines&gt;   &lt;o:paragraphs&gt;5&lt;/o:Paragraphs&gt;   &lt;o:characterswithspaces&gt;3231&lt;/o:CharactersWithSpaces&gt;   &lt;o:version&gt;11.1287&lt;/o:Version&gt;  &lt;/o:DocumentProperties&gt;  &lt;o:officedocumentsettings&gt;   &lt;o:allowpng/&gt;  &lt;/o:OfficeDocumentSettings&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:donotshowrevisions/&gt;   &lt;w:donotprintrevisions/&gt;   &lt;w:hyphenationzone&gt;14&lt;/w:HyphenationZone&gt;   &lt;w:displayhorizontaldrawinggridevery&gt;0&lt;/w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery&gt;   &lt;w:displayverticaldrawinggridevery&gt;0&lt;/w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery&gt;   &lt;w:usemarginsfordrawinggridorigin/&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Font Definitions */ @font-face 	{font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;; 	panose-1:0 2 2 6 3 5 4 5 2 3; 	mso-font-charset:0; 	mso-generic-font-family:auto; 	mso-font-pitch:variable; 	mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face 	{font-family:&quot;Courier New&quot;; 	panose-1:0 2 7 3 9 2 2 5 2 4; 	mso-font-charset:0; 	mso-generic-font-family:auto; 	mso-font-pitch:variable; 	mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face 	{font-family:Tahoma; 	panose-1:0 2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2; 	mso-font-charset:0; 	mso-generic-font-family:auto; 	mso-font-pitch:variable; 	mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face 	{font-family:&quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; 	panose-1:0 3 15 7 2 3 3 2 2 2; 	mso-font-charset:0; 	mso-generic-font-family:auto; 	mso-font-pitch:variable; 	mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;}  /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:&quot;&quot;; 	margin:0cm; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;} p.MsoBodyText, li.MsoBodyText, div.MsoBodyText 	{margin:0cm; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	text-align:justify; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:20.0pt; 	font-family:&quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; 	color:fuchsia; 	mso-ansi-language:EN-GB;} tt {} table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-parent:&quot;&quot;; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;} @page Section1 	{size:612.0pt 792.0pt; 	margin:70.85pt 2.0cm 2.0cm 2.0cm; 	mso-header-margin:36.0pt; 	mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;  &lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;28.02.03. Time 4:30. Dominion Rexes. Jasmine was still at Rexes dominion. She didn’t know where to go and search for Jyotsana. At Thickle’s appartment nobody would open the door, so she started wandering around town and dwelled into a place next to the park: a forest. She wore boots till her calves, black, a knee high skirt, blue and a bright orange top, sleeveles. A messenger bag over her shoulder. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;She was walking around and saw this park. She entered through the shabby gates that were half open. They squeeked. She went deep, walking already for an hour. She went where the people who lived at Rexes never went. There was a stream and a huge rock which she climbed on to see what was behind it.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It was the cemetary of the unexistent. The place was totally different from the rest of the park. In the park all trees were green or purple, but here, in the cemetary of the unexistent, it was all yellow-brown and golden and it was beautiful with a certain degree of calm that was divine. The light mellow. The colour warm. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;She jumped off the rock and started walking further into the yellow forest. Very spatial, calm. Then as soon as she proceeded the leaves lifted up and flapped their wings... as they were birds now. And Jasmine couldn’t understand whether this dominion was like Dodgegroove where things are as though they are in a dream or whether this forest was enchanted. She decided to just stand there and look into the forest, but her receptor started beeping. She tried answering but wasn’t able to hear anyone at the other end, meaning that someone was looking for her from another Dominion. Time 6:00&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;Dominion Creil. Time 5:40. Trevor was running like mad with a water balloon and as soon as he neared Terry’s bed to wake her up with it she was already waiting for him and threw the covers open. She scared him instead. Took the balloon from him. He was running away now with her running after him. They were laughing like mad. In the corridor they met Solo who was phoning Jasmine, he was looking for her. He took the receptor from his ear: nothing. “She’s still somewhere in another Dominion. Perhaps still at Rexes as Terry says”.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Then the bell rang and Solo went to answer. It was Jyotsana. She put her gadgets on the glass table in the living room and her jacket which was made in an ancient jabesse style. They were all looking at her in hope she’d give them news of Jasmine. “What up gaz. Why you all staring at me that way?” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;Dominion Rexes. Time 6:01. Jasmine understood that people were anxious for her well-being. “Yes I must go home. But I will come back here to see what’s beyond this forest and what’s it all about!”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;She had no friends here who’d tell her the legends of these places and nobody from the Vegastorm Crew knew much about Rexes. And so Jasmine didn’t know what this forest is all about and whether people never came beyond this point just because it’s too far away from the centre of the city or seemed uninteresting...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: fuchsia;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt; </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fallen-ashes.blogspot.com/feeds/2113669558451720664/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5469153050490652920/2113669558451720664' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5469153050490652920/posts/default/2113669558451720664'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5469153050490652920/posts/default/2113669558451720664'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fallen-ashes.blogspot.com/2010/12/ticket-to-nothingnessrexes-dominion.html' title='ticket to nothingness,/,/,/Rexes Dominion, Jasmine'/><author><name>zany rattus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07495876280814925333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469153050490652920.post-9045540574691089109</id><published>2009-12-01T16:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T16:46:01.039-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="insomnia"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="love"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="milky way"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="neighbour"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="town"/><title type='text'>diaries of an insomniac -1-</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;-1-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;So basically, the problem with the town I live in is that it never sleeps, never rests or shuts its eye even for a moment. But nonetheless I have no way of discovering whether it is or not the reason for my own lack of sleep, for just a moment&#39;s rest. It&#39;s not just the mechanical and frantic and ongoing work of the town I live in that makes it continuous for the sake of the system&#39;s continuum. There is always someone who is in a group of people deciding to catch everyone else&#39;s attentionm who catches everyone else&#39;s attention fotr some other original reason whih wasn&#39;t the original thought, but it did the trick. And I cannot say I hate this towntrait, but I just cannot stand it just as I cannot stand anything when I am in the state of a ghost... In any case, there is always someone who wants to make unwanted noise or flash unwanted light and of course there&#39;s always someone minding their own business so to speak but never keeping it exactly private. Yes. You would think that My Town is full of exhibitionists and it&#39;s true, not that there is anything wrong with it; it makes the Town original, full of colours as long as people are not hurting anyone and they never do and the fact that many people are doing things out in the open shuts the traditional jerks up as they cannot go against the bigger wave than they are. And the wave is big, it&#39;s just that it was hiding in the shadows for too long not realising that this huge shadow is way bigger that the other one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;The noise, however doesn&#39;t only come from the outside. It also grows inside me, builds up and eventually it clogs all the other noise from the outside. I have come to realise that dogs do hear my internal chaos and they shriek and they run... Nice thing. The owners think I&#39;m some kind of monster and when the usuals see me onthe street they just go the other way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;And this thing has been going on and on for ages and I have no idea where to put myself anymore. I&#39;d have ideas for big projects(!) with big ideas(!); since I have no means of resting I have a lot of time to think and it could give real big fruits... It&#39;s just that a man deprived of sleep is a man who would do things in a melted plastic way or not want to do them at all..... or is it melted vinyl that best describes the state I&#39;m in?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;Doctors say this whole situation I&#39;m in is because of the lack of sleep I&#39;vebeen having. Two of them say it just might be something else... I don&#39;t deny it&#39;s coming from me, say my fault or my body&#39;s fault... but maybe it&#39;s there for a reason to serve a very important purpose, that is, so THAT I could sleep or go on a mission or go on my mission.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;Selene; appartment above me. She is probably having one of her episodes again. Her vision of things is not a typical one. How? Well, let&#39;s see: she claims that a milky way is in her appartment inviting her enter a path full of adventures seen only oonce you step forward anda ccept it. I&#39;d like to think that if I would have done something like that and accept any vision that comes into my mind these days I would have had an ocean full of adventures to ponder on afterwards and when I think of these things I actually laugh out loud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;Selene is a ballet teacher. She says no one sees the milky way because they don&#39;t want to or do not believe in it hard enough. But then again no one visits her that often to be able to see it when she does sees it. She once came down and knocked on my door. When I opened she held freshly cooked cookies on a plate saying she hadn&#39;t found any better excuse to socialise and if I came up with any I should feel free to communicate it to her. That was the first time I have noticed her for real and since then we have been communicating through the water pipes of our structure; brick structure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;Selene is actually a beauty. Not my beauty, not for me, but she is. Purple long hair, slim and toned figure, not very tall, a very charming face. A very charming smile. A very charming expression. Charming looks. Charming looks and a charming personality and with those purple hair she almost seemed to have come out of some fable. All her friends , the ones I know of, don&#39;t see her for whom she really is and either mae fun of her behind her back (or not), or take advantage of her in a way or another. I really didn&#39;t like this but what with my insomnia I rarely did anything to solve this. Whenever she&#39;d have someone over for tea or whatnot I&#39;d perceive a scratching noise on my water pipes coming fro the direction of her appartment. In fact if it wasn&#39;t for my only true love for this one person I know (but haven&#39;t really met) I&#39;d be quite infatuated with her even though she isn&#39;t the kind of girl I&#39;d be infatuated with. And my being fond of another girl is another story altogether.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;&quot; &gt;My appartment has no milky way but it has a meadow. Yes, a huge fraction of green and yellow with a big fraction of the blue blue sky above it. It is something beautiful really but I myself have never stepped foot on it. I figure It is wonderful the way it is and no need of me around it...&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fallen-ashes.blogspot.com/feeds/9045540574691089109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5469153050490652920/9045540574691089109' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5469153050490652920/posts/default/9045540574691089109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5469153050490652920/posts/default/9045540574691089109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fallen-ashes.blogspot.com/2009/12/diaries-of-insomniac-1.html' title='diaries of an insomniac -1-'/><author><name>zany rattus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07495876280814925333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469153050490652920.post-8831969620628222842</id><published>2007-12-01T15:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-01T17:11:07.184-08:00</updated><title type='text'>the perfect circle boy</title><content type='html'>and as Vixen walked the streets of dodgegroove... above her, on the third floor of the building of the block of flats she was passing, a boy was drawing a perfect circle...</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fallen-ashes.blogspot.com/feeds/8831969620628222842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5469153050490652920/8831969620628222842' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5469153050490652920/posts/default/8831969620628222842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5469153050490652920/posts/default/8831969620628222842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fallen-ashes.blogspot.com/2007/12/perfect-circle-boy.html' title='the perfect circle boy'/><author><name>zany rattus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07495876280814925333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
