The roar of the engine, the buzz of the propellor, the demented howl of the wind in the gunports, the flick of arrows past the canopy - hang on, arrows?

The spinning head and ringing in my ears reminded me once again that alcohol had nothing on the hangover that siren song could leave you with.

"Let's go see Agincourt, she said - but she didn't say anything about the bloody mud, it's going to take days to get this lot off!"

Gornak's attempt to drink wine from the skulls of his enemies was thwarted as the liquid ran out of the eyeholes, prompting a deep depression that lasted several days - until someone suggested using them as novelty snackbowls instead.

The pumpkin curse is upon me and I must sleep lest I take root and change fully, egads I feel the tendrils even now -- I spit upon the day I became enthralled and enslaved by the ghastly bite of the great pumpkin, doomed to walk the earth Gourdferatu: Werepumpkin!

Now that I have a chance to tell my side of the story, you will see I had very good reasons to electrify the Eiffel Tower.

In a bunker, lobbing grenades at the plot bunnies.
This is so cliche, I couldn't help but write it. xD

Allow me to plant this simple thought in your mind, in that this world you are yet living in could very well be the dream.

I'll see your cliché and raise you a mirror scene:

That morning, I looked in the mirror, expecting my normal blond hair and blue eyes; instead, what I found staring back at me was a unicorn--with a monacle.

:wag: :chair

Hiding from mountain trolls. Do you smell fish?

*muses for a moment, then lays down the cards* I'm afraid I must fold. A mirror scene is simply too strong a hand.

I tugged at my empty pockets, knowing that I might have been able to win that game of exceptional skill and wit, had my opponent not been a unicorn--with a monocle.

That morning, I looked in the mirror, expecting my normal blond hair and blue eyes; perhaps strangely, that was exactly what I saw.
