Marked Down From A Song To Tuppence

By David Goeb

A classically rendered neo-postmodern tale of a young wizard who sets out on an epic quest of discovery.

Like all the wizards called to serve in the SmallPowers saga, he too must overcome a long shopping list of perils and dangers before the reaching the end. Which end he will end up, and what will end up in his end, at the end, is all too troubling and difficult to imagine.

Caution -- implied and bowdlerized strong language.

I like hats, dark ones, and can often be seen reading. When not playing with LEGO and creating worlds of wonder and mystery.

Marked down from a song to tuppence

A mile he walk'd not, nor three quarters,

Before he met this pair of tartars:

Ulysses, that sly lurching dog,

Heard first, and gave a gentle jog

To Diomede; then whisp'ring cries,

Flux me! but both my ears tell lies,

If I don't hear a pair of feet

Come paddling this way to the fleet;

Some peeping whelp, like us, a-going

To see what t'other side are doing,

Or pilf'ring rogue stole out of bed

To pick the pockets of the dead.

--(Homer) Thomas Bridges, 1797
