The Seamstress

Because before they are written, they stare at you judgingly from the blank pages. While they are written, they stare at you judgingly from the half-finished draft. When they're almost done, they stare at you judgingly because they're not done. They follow you everywhere to torment your very being until you finally hand them in. And then they haunt you for the rest of your life, forever staring at you from The Doomed Abyss Of Papers That Could Maybe Have Been Better If Only You'd Had More Time And Funding To Write Them.

Why aren't firebugs on fire?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

(And not one of them said "groo"?)

Firebugs aren't on fire because if they were, they'd constantly burn down their own food sources, and starve. That wouldn't be very smart.

Because vermillion looks better on them than any other shades of red, and they're rather style-conscious.


Has anyone ever discovered why household tasks are endless, and how to not make them feel like you're Sisyphus rolling his stupid rock up a hill again and again?

Sisyphus actually delegates his punishment to all of us nowadays. We must imagine Sisyphus happy.


Why aren't there amber grapes?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

For the same reason there aren't gold, silver, or opal grapes. A reason unknown to humankind. A Mystery.

All teacups are enough, they are very valid and should be proud of themselves.

The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...
