....where do you stand on gerbils?....umm, let me rephrase that...what is your stance regarding gerbils and clog dancing?...(no gerbils were harmed during the typing of this post)...

I'm pro-gerbil but can't say I have a position one way or another on clog dancing.

Congratulations to all! It was a good story well worth the time spent. Now I am going to look up the word 'effulgence'!

   shining brightly; radiant.

Thankee sai. By the time I got back here I had already looked it up. I like that word. Now come on. Tell me the truth readers of the SKMB 2017 Hallowe'en Tale. How many of you knew that word when you read it in the story?

Guilty of not knowing it!!

I liberated it from another story I'd written about a sunrise.

me too! it sounded good to me! I just went right on reading like I knew it had to be Intense all you guys were smacking them out!

You know, as per my posting name, I have to bring it all back to Buffy and Angel whenever possible, here's the result of Spike's end of the world poetry slam:

"My soul is wrapped in harsh repose,
Midnight descends in raven-colored clothes,
But soft... behold!
A sunlight beam
Cutting a swath of glimmering gleam.
My heart expands,
'tis grown a bulge in it,
Inspired by your beauty...
Effulgent"

The story has been brilliant this year, as it always is, yet juicily different (adverb abuse, adverb abuse!) every time ...... I'm waiting for the floor tiles in my apartment to eat me .....ahhhhhhh!!!!

"Butting a swath of glimmering gleam." ... er, 'cutting' ....

I empower you to flippantly fly indulgently in the face of On Writing; masterfully and eloquently abuse the heck out of those adverbs, my friend!
