An Abundance Of Beasts (also available here) is an endless medieval bestiary generator, largely utilising information from the always wonderful Medieval Bestiary: Animals In The Middle Ages website and a lovely translated copy of the Bodleian Library Bestiary, and then pieced together using twine.

The salesman wanders from door to door, an endless collection of wonders kept in the back of his car. A magician taking his art to the people, one household at a time. He knows what we want better than we know ourselves.
Doorbell pressed. Smile engaged. Anticipation building within him like electricity coursing through a Tesla coil.
There is no escaping your own desire.

The rules of the eclipse were you could only look at the sun when there was no more sun left to see. And even then you still had to wear glasses.
It wasn’t any fun at all.

“Two scoops?!” Tina said, wide eyed with awe. “I’ve never had two scoops before.”
“Mine’s got two scoops too,” said Daniel. “In different flavours!”
“Mine has two scoops and a flake!” said Ethel. “I don’t know what’s gotten into dad but I like it.”
“I think maybe he’s just sad,” said Tina. “He’s not been the same since the mermaid ran off with that walrus last year.”
There was a moment of silence as they contemplated their father, as he counted out his sand and seaweed covered coins at the ice cream counter.
“Yeah, well mine has THREE scoops!” Claire shouted, quickly getting back to what was important. “And I’ve got two of them!” She pulled her arm out from behind her back with a flourish a magician would have been proud of. “You’ll never beat that!”
