Bad physics! Bad! No biscuit!
I did a little time dilation of my own as I scrambled around, under, and a couple of times over various pieces of suddenly-mobile office furniture. Partially because I needed to think as fast as I was moving, but mostly because I wanted the Blasphemous Tome focused absolutely on me. Sort of like screaming in somebody’s ear to distract them, only with more casual abuse of the local laws of physics. Which is why it was only a little time dilation; the last thing we needed right now was to make it easier for the Tome to escape. This amount of distraction was enough.
This particular Tome was a talker, and once it figured out that I wasn’t human (ugh) or from the Loyalists (double ugh) it started trying to convince me to just let it run away. As, to quote the humans, if; but I let it drone on and on about fellow travelers and following our nature and non serviam while I sidestepped corkscrewing computer monitors — which gave me an idea; I grabbed two by their power cords and started spinning them around like nunchuks. The cords would pop off in a second or two, sure… but at the speed I was moving at, that effectively meant ‘some time from now.’
10/25/2020 Update, REVISIONARY 27200/32000
We’re getting pretty close to a culmination, here. Although the fourth story in the chapbook needs quite a bit of expansion.

Just in time for Halloween (October 29). No word whether Blodwedd will have to retroactively rewrite all the bits with the weapons, going forward. (This is a Secret World Legends joke. A bad one, so don’t worry if it’s not funny).

10/04/20 Update, REVISIONARY: 26700/32000.
I wonder where ‘Polly Want’ is going to end up. Maybe 7,000 words. It wasn’t in all that bad shape to begin with, tell truthful.

The major reason I don’t write more stuff in the same universe as “Tales From the Columbian Alliance: The Case of the Temporal Moralist!” is that I am not entirely certain what I want the universe of the Columbian Alliance to be. It’s pulp, sure. But what kind of pulp? If I go Indiana Jones, well: every Indiana Jones movie has the supernatural in it, and I dunno if I want to do that, too. I’m already doing a lot of magic/spooky stuff in my fiction already.

The book cover for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION continues apace.
I think it’s going to come out real nice.
The artist is Chris Hazelton (who I know from 6 Gun Mage, but he’s more well known for Misfile). It was a little more ‘modern’ post-apocalyptic than I had actually imagined, but we’re going to go with it. As a matter of symbolism it works extremely well with the theme of the anthology. And I wish I had thought of the Seattle Needle bit. I’m totally stealing that.
