Thirsty Thursday: The Empty Dreams of a Lost Delta Dawn
Free use image by Peter H on PixabayThe Empty Dreams of a Lost Delta Dawn
The date was November 4, 2014. Pepper Baiij was no longer an insecure, impetuous twenty-year-old cheating on the husband who doted on her but whom she didn’t really love. Pepper’s life had not turned out the way she’d hoped back in 1987 when she was fooling around with Virgil DeMille behind Larry’s back. She was now forty-seven years old, many years divorced and living in a dilapidated mobile home with no working furnace.
There were things that Pepper was grateful for. She had a job that she found acceptable, and she had twenty-five-year-old twins to whom she was deeply devoted, as well as five cats that she adored. Her daughter Ixchel was savvy and self-reliant, but she worried about her son, Quetzalcoatl, who struggled with anxiety and depression.
“I always believed I’d do wonderful things,” Pepper remarked as Gerry and Paul Clifford’s guitars wailed the lonely riffs of Mainline’s 1981 song, “Manual Overdrive.” “But my big dreams of bright lights and big city nights died one by one, leaving me in this dim place. I wish I knew you when I was young, Gerry, or maybe it’s better that I didn’t. I probably would have gone and fucked things up like I always do. These days I prefer rustic simplicity to nihilistic glamour. I didn’t find fame and fortune, but I didn’t wind up dead either. I worked something out, and maybe that’s the best that can be expected. But oh, Gerry, I wish that somehow I could help you.”

Ketil's Fate #WeWriWa #SnipSun #8Sunday
http://www.facebook.com/groups/SnippetSunday
http://wewriwa.blogspot.comThe BlurbThe fate of the Cosmos rests in the hands of an unlikely team of unusual friends. Will an exiled member of an ancient extraterrestrial race, a human ghost, and two ghouls be able to outfox an ancient evil and beat Nyarlathotep at his game before time runs out? This buddy story is the first in a series of New Cthulhu Mythos cliffhangers.
The NotesLast time, Ketil encouraged Little John to establish a bakery in Dylath Leen.
The Snippet
The next portrait depicted an image familiar to Ketil. The morose Lord Morbid had ended his life in a strikingly innovative and horrific fashion. The portrait was a stylized version of a medical examiner’s photo which had been stolen and passed around following the sensational suicide.
The moment was re-enacted in the minds of the painting’s viewers. The tall, gaunt will-o-the-wisp carved an elder sign into his chest and slashed the blood vessels in his arms. He painted an inverted pentagram with strange sigils at each of the points on the stone floor of the chamber using his own blood. A terrible mania had overtaken the disturbed young man, allowing him to complete his gruesome task despite losing enough blood that he should have fainted long since.
