The Girl, The Pit, The Prince (new shimshoy for you!)
The Girl, The Pit, and The Prince (After Machen) There is a deep, hollow pit, sort of smooth and grassy and curving in, just into the woods outside of town, that nobody goes by, or wants to. There's a story from back in the way old days, about a girl who wasn't afraid, and she went down there. Her name was Roberta Brewer, she was sixteen years old and by all accounts a troublemaker. When she came up out of the pit she said there was nothing down there but green grass, red rocks and white stones, and yellow flowers. The next day she walked about town wearing the brightest emerald earrings anybody ever saw. Nosy people asked where she got them, as it was known she was from a poor family. She just laughed and said that they were simply knots of grass, and sure enough, that's what they were. That night, her dress was seen to be adorned with a great and shining ruby, reacting wondrously strange with the light of the moon. Again she was bothered by those who would know about it, and again she laughed and showed them that it was simply a red rock she had set in copper wire. At the time there was a foreign King passin' through, traveling with his whole family and court, and upon his arrival the town put on a big ol' festival. The townsfolk were keen to see the Queen and the Princesses, but despite their uncommon beauty and grace, all partying eyes were on Roberta, who was wearing a twinkling diamond necklace and a freshly gleaming golden crown, more elegant and precious than anything the royals had on. The King asked her who she was, and she said she was just a girl from the poor part of town, and indeed she was, although secretly much more. The Queen asked her about her diamonds, which were larger and more perfect than any she had seen, and she said that they were simply white stones, and indeed they were. The Princesses asked her about her golden crown, so delicate, so intricately made, they had never seen it's like, and she said that it was only yellow flowers she had braided herself, and yes, so it was. With the rare and precious revealed to be common, everybody lost interest in Roberta and got back to the party. Everybody but the King's son, that is. His interest in Roberta was undiminished. "And what of your knowing eyes?" asked the Prince, who was another troublemaker. "Are they a trick of the light as well?" To which Roberta said "My eyes are my eyes, they know only what they see." The Prince was seized by a powerful lust, and he asked Roberta if she would dance with him. As they danced, he asked Roberta to come away with him and be his consort. She told him she would never be his, or any man's, and if he tried he would regret it. Her eyes told him she spoke the truth, but the Prince wouldn't take no for an answer, and as he kept his eye on her, saw her slip away from the festival. He followed her from a distance, crouching and peeking around corners. He watched her go off into the dark woods and, as he started after her he heard a voice on the wind, that said, "Venture not, upon your life, she is my own, my own good wife" Even this caused the Prince but a moment of hesitation, and he followed his lust into the woods. The next day they found what was left of the Prince, his bloody pieces scattered about the woods. There was a broken chain of yellow flowers clutched in the fingers of his savagely separated hand. For days they hunted for the beast responsible, but no creature capable of such violence, nor any evidence of such was found. Nor could they, or ever did they, find Roberta Brewer. Thank You Thank You for reading Shimshoycapsula! This is a story within/from an old story called The White People, by Arthur Machen, changed up to Shim my Shoy. Thanks again, Your Shim Shoy Supply Guy, Pat P.S. Arthur Machen is the author of The Great God Pan and other disturbing tales. Check him out for a good scare!

Grimm-Shoy: The Tailor and The Cobbler
Grimm Shoy- The Tailor and The Cobbler Hello Beloved Reader! Please enjoy a little story! I didn't make this story, but I feel like telling one, so here's a story you maybe never heard before, called The Tailor and The Cobbler A happy go lucky Tailor and a joyless prick of a cobbler became traveling companions, to the Tailor's pleasure and the Cobbler's indifference. They went from town to town trying to make a little coin. They were each about broke when they realized it would be some days journey to the next town. The Tailor spent his wad on some smoke, while the Cobbler bought bread. A couple days in, the tailor was beggin' for a crust, so the Cobbler offered him one in exchange for an eye. The Tailor gave in and gave it up, via the Cobbler's spoon. By the next night he was starving again and gave up his other eye for another crust of the Cobbler's bread. The Cobbler led him to a gallows tree, where two corpses swung from the Rope-maker's Daughters, and left him there. In the night, as the Tailor lay there helpless, the corpses began to talk to each other. They spoke of how the dew that gathers upon them in the night could cure blindness, but it was a great secret among such swinging dead. The next morning the Tailor rubbed his empty sockets with the dew off the corpses, and his eyes grew back better than ever. He made it to the next town, which was a great kingdom with a King and all that, and he did very well there. The fiendish Cobbler was there too, also a success, and he tried his best to make trouble for The Tailor, but of course, the tailors good nature and kindly ways served him well and he came out on top every time until eventually the Cobbler had to hit the road, a ruined man, while the Tailor enjoyed a sweet setup the rest of his days.

New Shim Shoy For You
The Bucket A Shim Shoy Folktale In another time, at a different place, there was this great little farm on the edge of a vast forest. Little Alice lived there. There weren't any other little girls around to play with, so she often went off exploring the woods alone. One day out there in the woods she crossed paths with another little girl. Her name was Annie, and she had been lost in the woods for days. Alice took her back home with her, where Maw fed her, while Alice heated water for a bath. Annie then slept in a nice soft bed for three days and nights. While she slept, Paw and Alice's brothers asked all around, but no one knew anything about a little girl named Annie that had gone missing. So Paw said, -Well, her people will come for her, if she's got any. In the meantime, if she ever wakes up, and she can do her bit around the farm, we'll keep her 'round here as one of our own. When Annie did wake up she showed herself to be a fine and pleasant worker, and she and Alice became close fast friends. But Annie did not like to go play in the woods, and she would never say why. So Alice stopped exploring the woods, always her favorite thing to do, and it remained so, even though she didn't do it anymore. By the time the girls grew into young ladies, Alice had forgotten how she used to love the woods, and Annie had forgotten how she feared it. All there was now for them was a vague curiosity, and so of course they started taking longer and longer walks into the woods. On one such walk they came across such vast and sprawling ruins that the sun set long before any thought of heading home could infiltrate their bristling, buzzing minds. They slept there under a great fallen stone arch, and as they slept, a witch riding the air on a flying broom circled around them, lower and lower, and hovering close over them, said, So you've forgotten me at last, little Annie, and returned to me, as I knew you would. And you've brought a friend, as I hoped you might. And she threw witches powder over the girls, so they wouldn't wake up, and summoned her creatures, who carried them through night and forest to the Witches house. When Alice awoke, she was tied to the post of a small wooden pen, which was inside of a larger pen, with nine horny goats milling about inside of it. There was a wooden bucket in the little pen with her. She looked up, and saw that she was in a deep ravine somewhere in the forest, on the grounds of a great house of ramshackle stone and wood, built, grown into the side of the ravine. She looked across, and saw her dear friend Annie, her arms outstretched, tied by ropes to two trees, her head hanging limply. Alice called out to her, and Annie woke up, and as she looked around, a great remembering came over her, and then a great fear. The witch came out of her house then, floating out the top floor window upon her flying broom and plummeting to the ground with a nerve tweaking mastery of quickness and power, slowing to a silent hover just above the ground and then back up a bit, to better take in the setting, and laughing, a long cackling howl, the joy of a witch in the attainment of her goals. Hovering over Alice in the pen within a pen, she said, -You'll fill that bucket with tears, or you'll be sorry! Then the witch rang a little bell, and the goats in the pen started going real crazy, and they tried to get at Alice, ramming her little pen, smashing in the wood with their horns. But the wooden rails of her pen were enchanted by the witch, and they repaired them selves instantly, though this did not deter the goats. Every time a goat rammed into the little pen, fresh tears welled in Alice's eyes. The witch cried out, -In the bucket! The bucket! One of the goats started gnawing on the rope that bound Alice to the little fence, but it was enchanted, and it sprouted sharp thorns, not only at that end, but at the ends around Alice's wrists, and as she was pierced by the thorns, fresh tears flowed, and she hung her head over the bucket and cried and cried. The witch cackled, -Yes, yes! That's it! Ahahahahahaaaaaaa! As the goats went on ramming the little pen with ear splitting cracks, the witch flew over by Annie, whose eyes were filled with compassion for her friend, though dry. Not one tear flowed from Annie's eyes. The witch said, -No tears for your friend, eh? You might, I suppose, but I took them all from you years ago, when you were just a little girl! The witch hovered in close, right up in her face. She said, -You forgot about me. I made you forget. Everything but your fear. Fear takes the longest, and so I let you forget it on your own. And when that final forgetting was complete, you came back to me, exactly as my spell was constructed! It makes me... So happy! And you've brought a friend! I knew you would be drawn to another with the inner fires burning bright. And such fires in her! She could have been a great magician, but instead she will fill my bucket, and you will help her, little Annie. -I won't help you hurt her! -You will, you will. And she flew up on her broom, up out of the ravine and into the trees of the forest. As the sun was setting, the witch returned. She rang her little bell, and the goats all calmed down again, and they all collapsed in exhaustion, their long weird tongues lolling out of their mouths, frothy and bloody. She said, I see you have filled the bucket. She floated down and grabbed up the bucket, and dropped a jug in the pen. She held the bucket close and inhaled deeply the salty metallic smell. Then she looked back at Alice and said, -Drink it all, or you'll be sorry! The Witch flew around over the goat pen. She pointed at one of the goats and shouted, -This goat is dead! A fine feast he will make for me! She floated down and picked up the dead goat by one of its horns, and hurled it to the middle of the yard. She rang her little bell, this time with a different rhythm than she rang at the goats, and her slave creatures emerged from hiding. One of them skinned the goat expertly while the others built a great fire and a spit for roasting upon it. The Witch sat upon her floating broom, chomping and chewing and slurping and sucking the meat and bones of the goat, washing it all down with great swallows of Alice's tears, which she scooped from the bucket with a golden chalice. Hers was a sorcery of sorrow, and the liquid misery of a young magician was the greatest of all possible consumptions. In the dark of night the firelight gleamed in the eyes of the Witches prisoners, Annie, Alice, the goats, the slave creatures. They all looked upon the gruesome scene unfolding in silence, until sleep overtook them all. The second morning, the Witch descended to inspect the jug. Alice had drunk it all. She nodded and swapped the bucket for the jug. Then she rang her little bell, and flew off, and the goats went crazy again, this time kicking at the little pen with their hind legs, and sticking their heads in to get at her skirt and sleeves, so she had to stay exactly in the middle of the pen. However, she did not cry any tears. She had hardened herself to the fear of the goats. When the Witch returned and saw the bucket was empty, she said, -So you think you're tough, eh? Not even one tear in the bucket for me! We'll see about that before the sun goes down! The Witch flew around, hovering behind the trees that Annie was tied to. She muttered a spell, and a long nasty whip appeared in her hand. She whipped Annie mercilessly, who still shed no tears, though Alice soon filled the bucket again with tears for her friend. The Witch rang her little bell and the goats settled down, and another one fell down dead. She swapped the bucket for the jug, both full once again, and feasted as she had the night before, and the next night and the next. Whenever Alice's tears dried up, the Witch used some new method to provoke her. She looked in Alice's mind, and created illusions of her parents. These phantoms tricked Alice into believing they had come to rescue her, only to be captured by the Witch, who imprisoned, tortured and killed them over the course of the days. Every night a goat died, and every night she ate the goat and drank Alice's tears, and each day her body grew younger, and the bone pile got higher. On the ninth day, the last goat could hardly stand, Annie was a covered in long wealing scars, and Alice was deep, deep, and deep inside herself. When the Witch descended from above and surveyed the pathetic scene, she said, -There's only certain, special tears left in you, my dear. That is why when I return tonight, I am going to kill Annie. And once I've drunk those tears, I'm going to untie you, and let you go. And she flew off, as she always did, except that this time she did not ring her little bell, and so the last goat was spared the madness. The goat went slowly over to Alice, who was slumped agains the walls of her little pen, and licked gently at her hands, which were dirty and cut up and bloody, and licked them clean. Alice did not even react. Annie, however, was moved. She had been biding her time these nine days, exploring her regained memory. The Witch thought she had drained all of Annie's magic out of her those years ago, but where there is life, there the inner fires burn, and the love of Alice and her family fed Annie's own inner fires back to their full strength, although she didn't even recognize it until now, because of the amnesia spell. But magic requires mastery or quiet. Here in this first quiet moment in nine days, Annie cast her first spell. She said, -Bucket, Bucket, your well is dry, come to me, and I will try. And the bucket floated up into the air and over to Annie, who turned her head and cried tears of joy into it. She said, -Tears of joy do not fall slow, make a river of your flow. And a river of tears filled the bucket, and when it was full, she said, -Bucket, bucket, back with you, be as if you never flew. And it did, and Alice looked at it blankly. The goat reached in a hoof and splashed Alice's face with the tears in the bucket. That woke her up a little bit. She tasted the happy tears. Then she started drinking the tears from the bucket. Annie called out to her, -No, Alice! The bucket has to be full! Alice stopped drinking, and very simply nodded. When the sun began to set the Witch returned to find Alice with her head hung over a bucket full of tears. She hovered grimly over her. She did a spell, and the thorny rope fell away from Alice and pen alike. She leaned in and scooped her chalice full of the tears within the bucket and said, -These then be the tears of quiet surrender, the sweetest to me. Here is to the ninth straight night of tears, youth and power for nine more years! She drank it down in a gulp. Her eyes grew wide, and she made a great gasping sound. She started to choke and gag, and lose her balance on her broom. Alice jumped up and grabbed the Witch by her cloak, and pulled her off of her broom and onto the ground, where she howled in piercing agony. She tried to get up, but the goat rammed into her and sent her sprawling, and she dropped her little bell. Alice picked up the bell and rang it that certain way, and the slave creatures emerged to do her bidding. Alice called to them, -Build the fire for a feast of your own, and be forever free! And they did, and they were. Alice, Annie, and the Goat all went together from that hidden place, back to the family farm. There was no going back to the way things used to be. After the defeat of the Witch, Alice retreated back to a deep place inside, and never came out. She never spoke, and required constant care. Annie devoted herself to this care of her friend. Though her body was covered in scars, Annie had a pretty face, and she only got prettier as time went by. She had many suitors from town and country, but she refused them all, as she was committed to the care of her friend. Even a dashing young prince sought her for his bride. He promised that Alice could come live with them at his castle and she would have the best of care. Annie said to him, -But it is here that she must recover. With me. With the family. This place is our home. No other care will do. And so the years passed, and little bit by little bit Alice came back to herself. One night, as she was heating a bath as a surprise for Annie, she remembered that long ago day when she did the same for the little girl she found lost in the woods. As she tested the water with her fingers, she cried some happy tears into the bath. And when Annie got in that hot bath, the long painful pinching scars that crisscrossed her poor body for so long softened and fell away and she was made fresh and clean and soft.

Stanley Squantro 1- or The Boy Who Talked To Walls (Spor)
Stanley Squantro, like many humans in the modern world, spent a lot of time in rooms. Rooms, of course, are made primarily of walls, which is to say a room can lack a proper floor or ceiling, but there is no such thing as a room without walls, as that would simply be outside. Commonly referred as the âOut of Doorsâ, roomless environments would more accurately be labeled the âOut of Wallsâ. As a matter of fact and coincidence, this is exactly how Stanley Squantro referred to being outside.
"Where are you going, Stanley?"
"For a stroll out of walls."
You get the idea. Itâs simply that the reality and importance of walls was very clear in Stanley Squantroâs unusual mind, and it sometimes influenced him in the way of little eccentricities like that. To Stanley, âOut of Doorsâ was a problem experienced by housebuilding crews.
For your consideration, nobody can tell you how or why, but when Stanley Squantro talked to walls, the walls talked back.
By way of an explanation, he offers this;
"I can see the faces of walls. Not always right away, sometimes it takes me a while, or maybe itâs a shy wall and doesnât want to show me itâs face right away, but sooner or later I see it, and it sees me, and when that happens I can talk to it, and it talks back to me."
Of all the people that ever shared space in a room with Stanley while he conversed with the walls, no one could ever hear the walls talking to Stanley except Stanley, and whatâs more, no one ever heard him talking to them, either. To their senses, it appeared that Stanley simply stared silently at a wall or walls for a while, not exactly in a trance, just quiet, then he would âsnap out of itâ and report his findings, if appropriate. Not that the walls care if their secrets get spread around. Accordingly to Stanely, walls are dispassionate entities for whom such concepts as âsecretsâ are simply nonexistent.
"After all itâs peopleâs reputations that are at stake, not the wallâs." Stanley has often said in rebuke to the gossip hounds, or the overly curious, to be polite about it. You can hardly blame such types for bothering Stanley Squantro, who has peeled back the concealing paint from the walls of so many historical mysteries. But thatâs for later.

A Shim Shoy Poem For You
Sometimes you go in a lake Sometimes a lake goes in you Sometimes a hundred in your head all at once Sometimes just one and huge And then you are sometimes outstretched on a boat And your blood is circulating so sweetly And sometimes you're rowing And sometimes you rest And sometimes forget what you forgot to forget It is what you like It is what likes you Go along as you go Do how you do And this is how it feels Shim Shoy!
He has no name, yet we must have something to call him if we are to discuss him, to know perhaps some mysterious thing of him. Weâll call him simply H, and agree to keep it to ourselves. H believes that he has been woken up to certain hidden transcendent truths, and consequently has undertaken a drastic course of action to find the keys to the locks on human freedom. He may or may not have given himself over to the Lottery. He may or may not have killed 24 people. He may or may not be correct in his beliefs. It is this last circumstance that may or may not cause considerable worry to any unnamed unknown entities who may or may not be listening and watching. There is an ultimate truth, but if it were ever to become known, simply known, by anybody, everything would cease to be and become something else, just so that truth could be unknown again. That is the warning, and that is the clue.

Hidden Cities 16 : The Fearsome Done (second try)
Nine year old Dominic Done and his twin brother Danny were adopted by a sorceress of the hidden cities who had killed their father when they were babies and in the years since drove their mother stark raving mad. She raised them, and five other such orphans along the way, as magicians in Chicago's Hidden City. They would become known as the Ravenhead Gang, and the Done Brothers were the leaders. When they were thirteen, they killed their first man, a magician of the hidden city. He was a rival of the sorceress, and she manipulated events to this end. Dominic had a natural gift most magicians call objectivision. A magician with this talent cannot be deceived. This circumstance bloomed fully in Dominic Done shortly after that first kill. When he was eighteen he got out of there and joined the Army. Danny couldn't be convinced of the truth Dominic saw, so he had to leave his brother and the rest of his accursed siblings in the gang behind. When he finally returned they were all gone. As it was a hot day, and Dominic's powers were always strongest on hot days, he was able to pick up and follow the faintest of magical trails, and he followed it all the way to Grissom Black's house. There he met Grissom and Greene Vardim Black, and the strange, little white Gumleys. There was also a tiny Gumley that fit in the palm of a hand, and was hemoglobin red. The little red Gumley, who was called Ruby Gumgood, was drawn to Dominic Done, and as he held it in his hand, he knew that this was all that remained of his brother Danny. Grissom Black showed Dominic the jars wrapped in Marleychains, which rattled a bit and pulled toward him, drawn to his crimes. When he was a kid, the sorceress had set a trap inside of him, in case he ever became a threat to her, and there at the Black's house that trap finally sprung, and he would have burnt to a crisp from inside out, if it weren't for Greene, Grissom, and Gumleys. They offered him to stay at the house if he liked, but when they turned their heads he was gone. Thank You for reading Shimshoycapsula! P
HIdden Cities 16.2: The Fearsome Done
By the time the Done Brothers turned 18, they had both committed heinous acts on behalf of their adoptive mother. She had gathered more "wayward children" into her care and tutelage. These brothers and sisters of the inner fires became known as the Ravenhead Gang, and the Done Brothers were their leaders, although it was really Dominic who the rest looked up to. It was Dominic who recognized the sorceress for what she was, or at least, felt it. He saw how she "acquired" the seventh Ravenhead, a little girl, and by this, how he and his brother had been thus acquired. Danny could not be convinced, so Dominic had to leave on his own. He went into the world apparent and became a soldier and eventually a soldier of fortune. When the time came for him to give up that life he returned to the sorceress' house in Chicago's hidden city, but no one was there, or had been for some time. With his magical senses he followed the trail, which led to the house of Grissom Black. To be continued. Thank you for reading shimshoycapsula! Love, your Shim Shoy supplier, Pat Coughlin
Hidden Cities 16.1: The Brothers Done
Dominic and Danny Done were twin brothers, born with what the magicians of the hidden cities call the inner fires, though their parents were normal. An ancient and predatory sorceress of the hidden city wanted them for herself, so she killed their father when they were just babies. She ingratiated herself into their lives as a family friend, and over the next nine years destroyed their mother's sanity bit by bit, until she was finally committed to the state mental health system. The sorceress adopted the boys and brought them to live with her in Chicago's hidden city. As you might have guessed, this sorceress and the one who caused Greene Vardim Black so much trouble are indeed one and the same. To Be Continued in the next shimshoycapsula! Thank you!
