Tales From The Town #242: The Circus

The circus was in town again. No one knew why.

There wasn’t even anything you could really do about it, except perhaps ignore it and hope they’ll leave everyone alone.

Beneath The Bridge

Beneath the bridge
you can dream of the river
and you can dream of the road
while never letting either
lead you astray

Malaise

I used to be excited by the world itself
the world in general
the world entire

Now I’m excited
by nothing
all

The Imp

He sits on a rock in the middle of the river, passing judgement on everyone who crosses. I shouldn’t care what he thinks of me. But I care so much I can’t sleep at night, wondering, worrying, wishing that he liked me more.

any possible [insert whatever the name of a bluesky post is here]

I’m not sure why I made this

any possible [insert whatever the name of a bluesky post is here]

“This is a totally pointless thing I made that generates unique entirely random bluesky posts made from the 26 letters of the roman alphabet with a capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end to make it look like a proper sentence of gibberish that completely fills up the bluesky post box.”

(obviously even more pointless for anyone who doesn’t have a bluesky account, or does have one and doesn’t want to fill it up with unreadable shite, but I do, and I do, so for me it’s the perfect tool)
