Lady Huntington
Whenever Lt. William Morris was angry, he would simply swallow and grow a little colder. An intense and disciplined man, he was not given to outbursts, but the anger was still there, each incident taking it a little deeper. Hungry for glory, he had surpassed heroism in several … [Read more...]
Christ in the Public Square
The Banty Rooster is glad for my clarification on "owning the curse" the other day, and has no real problem with my position now, as clarified. But he still thinks this amounts to a rhetorical reversal from what we published last year in our "Sodom As Yawnsville" issue of … [Read more...]
