Reading Ulysses in Montana #559

Coining a new oath every other fortnight or so, the gallant whisperer thrilled the cistern with a folly of fables unknown to humankind before or since.

Having severed all ties with Severin, Ginger felt the lash of a fortune of augmented specimens, unleashed to dash the myriad dreams of sailors and tailors against the Once by the Pacific. Frosted flakes had little appeal to stimulate the buttresses of peculiar fences whether they made good neighbors or not. Britches of birchbark filled the apple barrel of ice and fire, quenched by the forge’s bellows below. A peculiar retrospective staunched the flow of cudgels assembled from strudel, but cudgeling no one on the sconce, they purloined the few scones here and there that fell through the cracks in the cellar door.

Proclaiming Ginger’s favorite pastime from the past obsolete, she absconded with the funds and made her way to Trinidad and Tobago–both at once as befit her bifurcated personality.

    Interesting idea… sounds like you read a page or so from Ulysses and interpret it or make up a new story based on what you read? Yes?

      Yes! 🙂 Usually just take a couple vivid words and make a new story from those. Lots of fun!

        Yes, I can see that it is. A bunch of short stories or do you keep the same characters? I ask, because when I read a few posts, I didn’t understand what was going on.

        I just grab names at random for each story. So no kind of through-line. I do like the use the name Ginger often, but just to give a hint that it might be a recurring character, but it’s more a tease than anything.
