Happy Halloween!

We’ve had a steady stream of kids here since about 6:45 pm of so - about 2 hrs at this point. No hordes of costumed children (like it used to be when I was little, but still some large groups and families. It was nice to see.

Fugacious

The adjective fugacious:

  1. fugacious — (lasting but a short time; fleeting)

“Worry not,” said the big man, his voice tight with ash and sand from their long pilgrimage.

Brothers’ gaze kept low, but now, the press of bodies, and wagons, and camels, within Shal al Khatan, City of Splendors and Smoke, had him lifting such lowered gaze, a moment to catch the harem lilting by, all bells and silks.

“and be not tempted by the fugacious pleasures of sin,” continued the big man, and clapped Brother on the back of his hooded head.

Esurient

terribly early in the morning (10/14/2009) · Filed under Ramblings, Word of the Day

The adjective esurient:

  1. esurient — (hungry; greedy)

The pyre, an esurient fiend for the flesh of sinners, sputtered and guttered, thick with black smoke and fat. The neophyte looked on with growing concern.
