 In three words I can sum up everything I learned about life: Counting is easier than it looks. Spring in my Sox  The weight of rice and tea. Poh kept one eye on Mrs. W.W.Walker while counting and recounting the barrels of high grade sake. Chok kept an eye on her too as he weighed the sacks of tea. Li and Chen showed her around making sure she didn't see what she wasn't supposed to see. Beidi sat in a corner chatting with a peasant women. The smell of osimanthus flowers filled the air. "10, 11..." "How many times have you counted them?" "At least three times, Chok. I can't seem to focus. I look around and... I have to start all over again." "Want to trade?" "Sure." But Chok did no better and the scales for measuring the tea seemed to have a mind of its own. And then there was Mrs. W.W.Walker, fanning herself like a courtesan, oblivious of what was going on.    Beidi made sure of that. Hoan knew who he was but played her part well. The boys knew who he was too, but didn't know his powers. Li and Chen were too focused on Mrs.W.W.Walker. "She doesn't know does she?" "No, she's too enamored with how much money she can make selling tea back home. That nip of sake Chen added is helping too." "We're all playing are part today aren't we?" "Even Poh and Chok... in spite of you trying to confuse them." "Yes. What do you know about them?" "They are young and curious. Too curious at times. Chok takes risks. Poh weighs the costs. They make a good pair." "It's like that, is it?" "Could be. It's more like they are our own children. Brave. Curious. Sometimes stupid." Beidi laughed softly. What else could he do? Hoan was right. They were part of a bigger plan. He was sure of that. But... for now, keeping them confused made them look like silly boys. It was better that Mrs. W.W.Walker saw them as such. She'd worry about Li and Chen... as she should. They were formidible merchants. Better focus on them then the real threats to her plans. Beidi and Hoan were going to find out what her game was. And Chok-Poh were going to help them. It was close to the time Mrs. W.W.Walker must be escorted out of the Tea-of-the-Mists. Poh said, "18 barrels". Chok said, "Agreed. And 91 jin 斤 of tea". "Let's load up the sacks of tea." They smiled at each other. "What if our guest doesn't fit?" "What if we have to land in the middle of nowhere?" Now they both laughed. "Ready?" It was Chen's turn to smile. As Mrs. W.W.Walker was lifted off the ground and the turtle barely missed the trees they all sighed relief. "She's in good hands now." Hoan stared directly at Li-Chen and turned to leave. Beidi waited until dusk. A black dragon could fly unnoticed at night. He intended to speak to Chok-Poh before dawn. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.164] (24.juni.2021) About 500 words for

 Bobby Bobby loved trees, the dense leafy shade of maple, pines to hide behind, oaks that held a swing, elms that soared, apples that give him... apples... to throw at me, Mary Beth! His favorite tree grew in his friend's backyard. Johnny had a treehouse. They would sit in it all summer, even sneak up there in winter to pretend they were abom... abomin... snowmen. He called Johnny Jack Frost. He never told us what Johnny called him. I wish he would've. I remember a summer day in 1957. It was cold and rainy, a storm brewing, snow in the mountains, but everyone knew the two of them would be in the treehouse plotting something. Boys will be boys... if they only knew. They were 11 and curious about everything. That day was the day Johnny started fading. We didn't notice at first. Bobby always smiled and invited Johnny everywhere. They were inseparable; yet, one could tell that Johnny's smiles didn't light up his face. The mask was firmly placed and no one but Bobby knew what was behind it. And Bobby wasn't talking. That day... it was a Tuesday... funny to remember that... they had found a kitten that was lost and were playing with it. That kitten... what happened to it... ah... Mrs. Baker took it in because Johnny wasn't allowed to keep it. Kept her company until they both turned old and grey. What was its name? That Tuesday, around 2 in the afternoon, a big wind came through and we all went into the storm cellar when the house began to shake. Except Bobby and Johnny and Tippy... I knew I'd remember his name. They were fine. Mr. Fink's outhouse tipped over and Mrs. Baker's undies flew through the air; but, except for a few leaves, the trees were spared. Nevertheless, Johnny wasn't the same. Years later, when Johnny ran away, Bobby disappeared. Oh, Robert sat right where Bobby always used to sit... at school, at church, at the kitchen table, but Bobby wasn't there. And after Viet Nam, he literally disappeared. Said he couldn't take the noise, the way he was treated. He said he wanted to become invisible, like Johnny, so he did. I hadn't heard from him in... 15... no... 18 years, until today. I barely recognized his trembling voice. "Mary Beth, I found Johnny." Chapter 2: "Jack Frost" © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.162] (23.juni.2021) About 385 words. For

 Doorways I Haven't OpenedWindows I have yet to look through "Why are you here?" Kago-san poured the tea. No ceremony today, just answers. "There are doors I haven't opened, and windows I have yet to look through." Mrs. W.W.Walker turned at looked at the garden. "It's peaceful here. Too peaceful. I want to know what Hoan is up to." "I'd worry more about Li-Chen." Kago-san sipped. "Hoan is devious and powerful. We both know that much. She seems to know everything. There are no secrets kept from her." He paused and poured more tea. "Li-Chen are quiet. I suspect even Hoan isn't entirely sure what they are up to." "I have visited the Mountains of the Mist." "Yes." Mrs. W.W.Walker raised an eyebrow to that. "There are few secrets my lady." "My lady!" Now Mrs. W.W.Walker guffawed like a sailor. "But you act like one. Stiff as a pole. Black from head to toe. Metal spikes that say "look at me but don't touch". "You'd die if you tried." Kago-san stifled a laugh. "A scion of nobility and the British Navy, perchance?" "That's my husband." Kago-san spilled a drop. "I was born bossy and nosy. No doubt about that. But the British have spies enough. I care more about opportunities" "Like tea." "Yes, like tea. I could make my own money. I'd like that. But..." Kago-san looked at her finery. Good cut. Fine silk. Black-on-black that tricked the eye up close. "But?" "There's more going on here. There's only one tragedy I can't abide." When Mrs. W.W.Walker did not reply Kago-san cocked his head and gave a look he had learned that begged to ask "what". "Being bored." "You must be happy then." "Very." © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.168] (27.juni.2021) approx. 275 words. For:

| Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Zen dirigible "We need to check everything." "Everything's fine." "No. WE need to check EVERYTHING." Chok felt fine. He'd recovered from the krait bite. Hoan hadn't said a thing and even Li-Chen hadn't either. They were too busy. Chen was negotiating with Kago-san over which rice would be best and Li had her hands full with Mrs. W.W.Walker. But Poh wasn't taking any risks. "Have you seen Hoan?" "No." "She's always up to something." Chok thought about that while he checked all the valves. They seemed okay but Poh had bought new ones and... he couldn't have fun all alone so he'd humor Poh and make sure everything was as good as new. "Maybe she's working on her chariot. It's been coughing like it caught a cold." Poh laughed as he fingered the silk checking for holes and ran his fingers along the bamboo to make sure nothing had cracked. The idea of a rice-alcohol powered steam-cart catching a cold was too good an opening. "Maybe you should check her out when we're done here?" "Maybe you should hold this." Chok grabbed Poh's hand and placed it where it would do some good. "Just hold the valve like this." Poh blushed. Chok delighted in making Poh blush. It was so easy. "There. I'll work on the rudder now." Chok still held Poh's hand. "Do you want to help me grease it?" ... "No... I'll check my camera to make sure it's ready." Chok checked everything twice. Poh looked unfocused. "We need to know what Hoan is up to." "I'll go ask." "No... that's fine. We don't want her to know what we're doing tonight. She'll try to get it out of us." "She always does. The dragon is ready. I'm ready. Let's go." Chok and Poh, rose in Li's three-seater, 禪宗飛船 [chánzōng fēichuán] zen dirigible that was tethered to a pole like a kite. It was past midnight, an hour when no one notices, calm by moonlight, no one suspecting that anyone would be out. If anyone did look up they would only see a blue-green dragon (青龍 Qīnglóng) and swear that they needed to cut back on the sake. But, Mazu (媽祖), Goddess of the Sea, had caught a cold, went south and took a nap and the mô-sîn-á [魔神仔], mischievous tricksters, were out and about. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.166] (26.juni.2021) For

| Holy Motors 圣车 [Shèng chē] Hoan's chariot coughed. Either the rice wine was too rich or hadn't been filtered. She sent a message to Li-Chen. It wouldn't do to be without her own transportation. Her secrets depended on it. Within an hour Chok and Poh showed up. Hoan looked from one to the other. They went nowhere without the other. She waited to say something. Let them stew in their own juices. Would serve them right for snitching on her. Chok looked down. "We don't have much time. Mrs. W.W.Walker is snooping around and we need to snoop on her. Our bosses' orders." This made Hoan smile. Yes, let them stew. Poh grabbed Chok's hand. Chok shook. Hoan stopped smiling and stared at Poh. "What is really going on?" "There have been strange foreigners in town. We're not sure from where, but they spoke to Mrs. W.W.Walker in a language she didn't understand." "But the look on her face..." "Yes, she blanched whiter than clean rice." "Then she went into Kagamoto's and sat down." "And drank two shots of sake." Mrs. W.W.Walker was no stranger to a stiff drink, but... "Go back immediately. I can make do." "Thank-you. We brought some fresh rice-alcohol blessed at the Kagi shrine. Chen thought that that may solve the problem." Chok and Poh hurried off hand-in-hand. Yes, serious problems. Without Chok to help and Poh to hinder Hoan decided to clean out her four wheeled dragon herself. She dumped out the alcohol. She cleaned out the tank, checked the filter, put in a clean one anyways. She'd carefully watched the mechanics at Holy Motors. So easy to do. They ignored her. Now she did as much as she could without asking for help. Fewer eyes, ears and noses that way. She put in the new fuel, checked the water, put on a new black silk-dress and her best feathered hat. Blessed or not she started her dragon without a cough. Yes, she grinned, she was blessed. She headed towards Kagamoto's. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.159] (22.juni.2021) About 330 words as of 6/22. For

 Dr. AkulaWhaleships Dr. Akula saw trouble coming. Half-deaf with a limp but his eyes missed nothing. Mrs. W.W.Walker strut with gears dangling from her ears, her bosom a half step in front of the rest of her. Hoan looked enticing in her bamboo bodice and layers of hand-painted silk, but the snakes in the nest of her hair looked too real. Dr. Akula softly hissed. Double trouble. "I'm Mrs. W.W.Walker, Dr Akula. I want to know about whaleships." A bit blunt even for a bloody Brit, he thought. "What about them. They're good when the seas are rough and can carry a heavy load." "Of what." Hoan look through him as if he weren't there. He stifled the urge to turn around. He was perfectly safe, surrounded by guards. Dr. Akula smiled. "We merchants do not divulge all our secrets. No one cares as much about tea or rice as Li-Chen does. Yes, I know you visited the mountains." Mrs. W.W.Walker looked startled, for a minute. "But you don't carry rice or tea." Dr. Akula just smiled and said nothing. "No, he doesn't carry rice or tea. Not valuable enough to trade or steal like a pirate." Dr. Akula wasn't smiling. "You shouldn't look so worried." Hoan chirped. "Unless they're hiding arms meant for the Russians." Mrs. W.W.Walker whispered. Dr. Akula circled around them. His name in Russian meant 'shark'. "Stop! I don't have time for nonsense." "And neither do we." If Mrs. W.W.Walker was intimidating Hoan was terrifying. At times in the past it was as if she could read his thoughts. No one was safe if he knew that they suspected the truth. "I don't care about your plots. Mere games for the weak. Why are your ships going north?" Hoan stepped around him, took Mrs. W.W.Walker by the arm. She didn't wait for an answer. She had her answer by the shadow of fear that crossed in his face. "I feel hungry. Lets go get a bowl of steaming-pig-guts." Dr. Akula stood stunned. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.143] (14.juni.2021) For:

Polls can be simple. Do you like pineapple? 1. Yes. 2. No. My answer used to be simple. NO! But now that I've experienced fresh pineapple and dried pineapple a yes/no choice doesn't suffice. Since I see nuances I seldom like yes/no choices. Writing.com polls allow for 9 answers. That more than covers yes/no/maybe/no-opinion. But even that is b.o.r.i.n.g. If you ask people any question you'll end up with many answers; but, they will tend to come down to 5. Running a pre-poll would be a great idea. I don't have the resources or time. So... I try to come up with those 5 myself. In my puppy poll I looked on-line for popular breeds and added a mutt.
In my cat poll I would've been better to focus on behaviour. Like: the one who sleeps on my head all night... or wakes me up at the break of dawn. Cats. 
As you can see, the two polls go together along with "Your favorite interaction with a bird?" These two are also companion polls: "Which Disney female is most evil? Part 1" and "Which Disney male is most evil? Part 2" I once wrote a funny poll about a WdC member, Partyof5. It received thousands of off-site views. I ended up closing it. But humor is not a bad idea. I wrote a story poll. Silly worked well. I hope the readers got a chuckle. They definitely voted!
One can ask serious questions, but the answers needed to be a bit lighter in this:"How long will you live?" And in this. "Placenta and rutabaga stew" This poll was even more serious. It was based on newspaper coverage of a trans friend of mine who was hit by a train. The local outrage was immediate.
And with 7211 views and 103 votes it reflects that. Interestingly, no one thought it was an example of good journalism. Unfortunately, there need to be 10 recent WdC views to provide demographics. Here at WdC we can check views, votes and even demographics as with last week's poll.
It has received 20 views from WdC members: 15 females, 5 males. The average reader so far is: "Married Female, age 40-49, with College Degree education." Most found it through the newsfeed, not my blog. WHICH BRINGS US TO TODAY'S POLL:
HUMMINGBIRD is the prompt. I came up with 13 answers so I chose 9: 1. Dumbo came in to have his ears adjusted. They were stuck in reverse. "Can you make them go in all directions? I want to hover like a hummingbird." 2. At the Dawn of Understanding you visit us and give us hope. Enjoy the nectar of the day. Oh Hummingbird, don't fly away. 3. A shimmer streaked across the yard from a patch of hollyhocks to poke its beak into a trumpet flower vining over the backyard gate. Patches meowed. Is that you, Anna or is it Rufous? Ruby at the hummingbird feeder wants to know. 4. "Yes, I impaled him. Yes, I sucked all the blood out of him." Interviewing Vlad's pet hummingbird was proving to be interesting. 5. It happened at Hummingbird and Hollyhock. Spot and Tiger got into a spat... until Officer Pete the showed up and shooed them away. "Nothing to see here folks." He folded his irridescent violet wings to take notes. Anna, the local hummer, appeared to be in shock. Ruby was dead. 6. Adam laughed. "I want to float like a hummingbird and sting like a bee." Mabel snorted. "You can start by getting your fat ass off the couch and bring me a..." 7. The vesper bells announced the hour as four o'clocks spread their frilly skirts, flashing red and gold at each client passing by. Fred kept watch. Louis, the local bad-ass saberwing, was sure to show up. 8. He embroidered each throat in ruby red, each wing in irridescent green. He had promised his sister a shawl of one hundred hummingbirds. They twittered too late, too late, too late. 9. Ruby Lee told Ruby Mae that Ruby Grace had gone missing... and the hollyhocks too! The Hummingbird Society was shocked. They called Inspector Rufous James to investigate. Vote here: "Oh, Hummingbird! Sing it." |

Due Saturdays 10pm. MST. 1. POND [92.1] 1a. Once I was immortalized when a frog jumped in startling a poet to comment on my splash. I'm an ancient pond-in-waiting now. Who will fall in and be inspired by my stench and muck? 1b. I sit here like most ponds. Ignored while filling up with rain, visited by what lurks at my edges as the land begins to cry out in drought. The eyes, those doleful eyes, and tongues lolling in thirst. lc. No one visits me. But the monster in my depths is curious about dry land. And me, a Lonely Pond, intends to go with him. 1d. Sally stared across the pond while loons began to croon. She wished to join them. Once a siren always a siren, her grandmother had told her under a crescent moon. She jumped in and began to swim. 1e. Grubby looked at the scum covering the pond. He cleared one spot to gaze at himself in the black water's mirror. Not bad. I can go another year without bathing. 1f. If he hadn't driven into the pond, accidently, on purpose, he wouldn't be stewing in the sauce now, would he? 1g. The ice thickened throughout the week. By Saturday the crisp cold air drew the skates and mittens. Picken's Pond had always looked forward to this time of year. Patrick, gazing up from the depths, agreed. 1h. Crack. Petra panicked as the ice threatened to give way. Who would take of her mother? She focused on the shore of the pond, hugged her favorite tree when she reached it. 1i. Waterlilies circled around the depths. The frogs lay still on their pads. Mallards flew over with reverence. All bowed to Lotus as she gathered her strength from the muck to rise above it. She was Queen of the Pond. 2. HUMMINGBIRD [92.2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r5Sl6WouLU *2a. Dumbo came in to have his ears adjusted. They were stuck in reverse. "Can you make them go in all directions? I want to hover like a hummingbird." *2b. At the Dawn of Understanding you visit us and give us hope. Enjoy the nector of the day. Oh Hummingbird, don't fly away. *2c. A shimmer streaked across the yard from a patch of hollyhocks to poke its beak into a trumpet flower vining over the backyard gate. Patches meowed. Is it you, Anna or is it Rufous? Ruby at the hummingbird feeder wants to know. *2d. "Yes, I impaled him. Yes, I sucked all the blood out of him." Interviewing Vlad's pet hummingbird was proving to be interesting. *2e. It happened at Hummingbird and Lilac. Spot and Tiger got into a spat... until Officer Pete the showed up and shooed them away. "Nothing to see here folks." He folded his irridescent wings to take notes. Anna, the local hummer, appeared to be in shock. Ruby was dead. 2f. Gosh, I could've had a V-8. Said no hummingbird... ever. The queue at the feeder was getting restless. The males were flashing their sequins. The beasts were ravenous. 2g. "I want to fly like a hummingbird and sting like a bee." Mabel snorted. "You can start by getting your fat ass off the couch and bring me a..." *2h. The vesper bells announced the hour as four o'clocks spread their frilly skirts, flashing red and gold at each client passing by. Fred kept watch. Louis, the local bad-ass saberwing, was sure to show up. 2i. A whirr of wings shot past. You think your so smart. Camille smirked and clicked her "hummingbird" setting, not hearing the crack of a stick behind her. 2j. After the hurricane 8 were gathered... cheep tsew cheep tik-tik tsew... the hummingbirds twittered to entice a mate. It was going to be a long wait. *2k. He embroidered each throat in ruby red, each wing in irridescent green. He had promised his sister a shawl of one hundred hummingbirds. They twittered too late, too late, too late. *2l. Ruby Lee told Ruby Mae that Ruby Grace had gone missing... and the hollyhocks too! The Hummingbird Society was shocked. They called Inspector Rufous James to investigate. 2m. Sheila planted trumpet vines and lupines, set out hibiscus bushes and hanging pots of petunias and fucshias. When global warming brought the hummingbirds to Anchorage she'd be ready. 2n. The buzzing in his ears startled Miguel. He had arrived from Boston just in time to see the flight of hummingbirds outside his new beachside condo in Greenland. They were on a mission. 3. BASEMENT [92.3] 3a. "Abase not thyself." I let out a maniacal laugh. Chained to the basement wall it was all I could manage as a window squeaked open. 3b. She opened up the letter. She hadn't been abandoned, as her father had once told her, in the bargain basement bin. 3c. In the back of the basement a closet, behind old tools a hidden door, on the other side of the door a passage way... and a distant light wavering. 3d. When the basement flooded Floyd lost his man cave and his manhood. He cried like the little boy who watched his playhouse burn down. 3e. "Let's go downstairs where it's cooler." Mike and his friends continued their session of D&D in the basement until the ground shook and the house caved in. 3f. Below the basement parking lot a sub-basement, below the sub-basement... "How many levels does this go down? It seems to be getting hotter." 3g. Kai and Mork searched for a local Rage Room. They found a Basement Escape Room instead. Curious they entered... 3h. Susan and Kelly wandered from basement to basement. Curious places filled with odds and ends. They had been banished from the attics by the Headless Ghost. 3i. I was visiting Italy and curious. "This basement seems ancient", I whispered to myself. "That's because we're catacombs and you're stepping on my hip." 3j. No one went to the basement. A monster lived there. And as long as no one bothered him, Noel didn't mind a bit. 3k. Jedekiah read the directions again. Go into the closet in the basement and knock. He frowned. Someone's trying to scare me again. 4. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.92] |
