The background is an illustration of three fire glowing celestial characters in robes with an overlay of purple. One of them in the middle holding their hand and behind it are flowers. At the corners of the illustration are the two characters with a book in one hand and a pencil in the other. At the top of the image is the augur logo and below it reads: "Magic. Futures. Dreams" in white text. In the middle, it reads: "Submissions Open Now" in white text. Underneath reads: "$100 CAD per poem. $0.14 CAD per word (fiction, 800+ words). $112 CAD per flash fic (<800 words)" in white text. There is a purple banner that reads submit now and next to it is a graphic of an email. At the bottom of the image is the submissions link: augursociety.org/submissions

Itโ€™s a bass recorder! I have the head turned around as itโ€™s easier to balance that way on recording and also easier to play in a cold house without the metal blow pipe ๐Ÿฅฐ

My initial search yielded (rather grimly) a wealth of literature about how to euthanise a horse ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ Very sad but surprisingly useful. I can now kill a Demon horse in 10 different ways (which sounds like the opening of a new short story!) ๐Ÿซ

I did not check, but given that this is a skinless demon horse, Iโ€™m guessing Google wouldnโ€™t be able to help me with the answerโ€ฆ ๐Ÿซฃ
