Description MB3D 1.8.9

The submissions editor continued reading out loud.
     "Rivers of destruction swept from the sky. The end of the ancient and noble fractal bulbs was at hand. Long had their once proud race ruled the world reigning with an alien combination of benevolence and emotionless cruelty.  They were as farmers to their crops, at first nurturing only to harvest at season's end."

The editor glanced up briefly at the author who appeared to be examining his fingernails, and made a face which would have communicated his utter confusion to the author had that man been looking.  Since he was not, the editor attempted to continue. "...the bulb kings, older than the pale moon that waxed above in the fire colored sky raised their mighty --"  The editor stopped short and addressed the author sitting in front of him in an exasperated tone, "I'm sorry Steve," he began.
    "Dave," said the author without looking up.
    "Yeah, Dave... " God, who let's these lunatics in here!? "...umm, very interesting."  A long pause ensued, then, in that tone of voice reserved for the people one no longer feels the need to conceal one's annoyance from, he asked, "What's a fractal again?"

Very nice... both the intro story and the fractal!  You are a multi-talented man, Steve...errr... Dave.  (Some submissions editors are more enlightened than others... keep trying.)

 for the mention too.

Thanks Glenda - I'm skipping the book and writing it as a musical instead - opera actually -5 acts - probably shouldn't run longer than 3 or 4 hours.

Let me know when it's finished.  I'm not a fan of operas, but I might make an exception for yours.

No, Just letting my imagination have a little fun - writing would be a lot of hard work - no time for fractals!!

Amusing intro - are you trying to get a book published?

LightBulbMoon In reply to GrannyOgg [2015-08-28 18:00:33 +0000 UTC]

No - was just a way to express what runs through my head when I try to think up titles for these...  the gripping story of fractals influenced by H.P. Lovecraft.
Hope you enjoyed it though - thanks Maureen!
