graycardinal | Misc: An edit & a WIP

One bit of housekeeping and one unmitigated bit of teasing:

The housekeeping:

I've edited the post regarding the gift story I received in the Unsent Letters exchange, mostly because the story link was borked but also to add proper author credit now that reveals are up.

The teasing:

Herewith a snippet of one of my current WIPs:

I should advise you,” the scientist said in a mild, apologetic voice, “that this is a secure area, and anyone attempting to enter secure areas here at Q-36 is subject to potential shrinking, rabbitizing, multiplication, spectrographic diffusion, gravitational flux…”

“…and explosive space modulation?” That was Zachary. I blinked. Dr. Honeydew stopped in mid-sentence and took off his glasses – which made me blink again, because although the face behind the glasses had appeared not to include eyes, the scientist’s face now sported a pair of small white marbles, evidently sewn onto the fabric of his head, through whose blue-gray markings he was clearly studying my companion.

“Before I answer that,” said Dr. Honeydew in an apologetic tone, “I’m afraid I need to ask who you are, why you’re here, and what sort of security clearances you have. The owners are very particular about those sorts of questions.”
