Right, it must be time for a little #SciFiFri cat story : )

somewhere, on some doomed deep space mining vessel, a last feline survivor is trying to kill the alien queen and escape before self-destruct destroys the ship

#SciFiCats #CatsNoirFriday #CatLovers #Cats

This week's excellent #PostApocFriday theme is:
✴️☣️ Q for QUEEN ☣️✴️
I'm going for a slightly less conventional one in Mother Abigail from #StephenKing's #TheStand - my gateway novel to #horror #apocalypse #postapocalypse fiction.

Did you say …Friday?

The high walls of certain boneyards give the impression of belonging to a prison. A case of Internment for the dead rather than simply being interred. Yet time topples all stones, fade the power of all wards. Some part of us knows even the dead's confinement must end. – #CLNolan

Oh, sounds good - sadly, I've not seen it in real life.

This is one of my favourites when it comes to outside eccentricities - Maman (1999) by the artist Louise Bourgeois ...even though I think #spiders are a loathsome alien species that landed here in the distant past : )
#WyrdWednesday

Watched The Ritual (2017) again after a good few years - I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it - an excellent adaptation of an excellent book.

Okay, it's #SciFiFri cat story time : )

England is a small country. Among its defining characteristics are the density of and proximity to ghosts. City streets or rural lanes, one does not have to walk far to encounter a temporal shade. No wonder the English have measurements such a phantoms per acre. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Watching the new drone based display over Edinburgh Castle. You maybe saw antlers, but I saw 🥶

As long as it gets the clothes clean : )

We’ve got a replacement washing machine. Apparently it has a diagnostic tool whereby you point your smartphone mic at it, and it ‘sings’ an error code which the app then interprets…

I think we may have been sold R2D2

It's coming... with fangs.

Goodnight from Laura Godwin, finding herself yet again walking the stretch of shore where wreckage from her father’s fishing boat washed up. Goodnight from Harriet Weldon, telling her doll all the secret names the woods whispered in her ears while at play. Goodnight from Hookland.

I was pondering the topic of fictional dystopia for #WyrdWednesday and can't get past the point that we're already living it. Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful things in our world ...but dystopia is right here, right now : )

#Horror

have a delightfully disturbing #WastelandWednesday everyone : )

Wyrdlings,

As if the real world outside wasn’t dark enough already, for Aldous Huxley’s birthday this week, we add a little extra unease with:

“Dystopias!”

as our topic.

Share your brave new worlds, hunger games and fallouts with us on #WyrdWednesday
