‘Lady of the Sea’ – Peafowl
Lord Peafowl hadn’t really meant to kill his father. Granted, he had waited impatiently for his father to die, even secretly prayed for it on occasion during mass, but he didn’t intend for the old man to die by his hands. If only he hadn’t said those things to him, shouting that he was useless, … Continue reading ‘Lady of the Sea’ – Peafowl

Eu: Daniel, já escrevi a próxima parte da história. Sempre fizeste o desenho este fim de semana? Daniel: No hablo portugués.
The San∂man
Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot. Dream, in Sandman #19: "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Neil Gaiman

‘Lady of the Sea’ – The Golden Queen
Isola the Fair was the oldest and palest of seven sisters. Much to his misfortune, her father, King Malik the Good, had failed to produce a male heir, just as he had failed at everything else.

Pensava que bom, bom, era cada um de nós ter uma espécie de mecanismo que fosse registando tudo por escrito, qual estenógrafo interno, em forma de guião ou semelhante. Como acontece com todas as nossas ideias ultra-originais, já fizeram o … Continue reading raízes
Inesperado
Semana 25/11: Inesperado Pensava eu que ia falhar logo na primeira semana - por definição, o inesperado não acontece quando estamos à espera dele. Mas o mundo é um lugar estranho, especialmente ali para os lados da Luz, e valeu-me a câmara do not-so-smart-phone para esta pérola de Cinderela Suburbana:

who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?
Company of Liars by Karen Maitland My rating: 4 of 5 stars 'You won't like the ending', said the friend who lent me the book. Multiple reviews complained about the build up that led to a not-very-spectacular-revelation. But good stories aren't always about the twist. They're about the Truth.
