Am not sure feudalism would fall apart, because hey, that priest/lord may have other reasons to want land in exchange for providing food/protection. It would depend on the priests/lords, the clerical/general culture, and ofc the god(s) involved, wouldn't it?

Besides the stories I also love the cover design of this book.

Random dude here: (next time) try something like www.google.com/search?q=inv... :)

"Leonard Nimoy: (…) We were looking for something that the character could wear that was distinctive and immediately recognizable. I got the idea from a friend who had a badly burned hand and wore the leather covering."

YouTube video by Telekon Jean- Michel Jarre Featuring Gary Numan- Here For You (Official Lyric Video HD)

Indeed, and what a brilliant coop that is! (For those just stumbling upon this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-Wg... )

This time it was your posts about your relatively recent trip to Chengdu, China, though, that helped me make the jump from Numan to Jarre's classic live album, a favourite of mine. :)

And from there, it was just a step or two more to get to this other classic.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

The Mirror Showed You A modern gothic short story for my own 2020 Halloween Flash Fiction Challenge, day 7

'“Tell me, glass! Tell me true,” she whispered. “Of all the beautiful girls in this city tonight, who’s the most beautiful? Tell me, who?”

She winked at her reflection.

And her reflection disappeared.'
