A Tall Tale: 20 Styles of Poetic Prose
Do you enjoy making up stories, producing novels, or publishing blog posts? If so, then you’re probably like me. I love blogging for you all, but creative writing is truly my jam! There’s this thrill in building a script or novel from scratch. There’s an opportunity for originality, to be one with your work. Authentic writing has a style it carries. Literary and genre art are inventive, giving us…
The Gumberoo – By Geox
“The Bulletproof Beast That Couldn’t Handle a Campfire”Or: How a Rubber-Skinned Forest Freak Became the Most Explosive Creature in Cryptid Lore There are creatures you run from. Creatures you hunt. Creatures you try to photograph. And then there’s the Gumberoo, a creature you don’t mess with, because anything you do might turn it into a high-velocity tire fire. Born from the backwoods…

On May 15th, the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians, along with the United Nations and millions of their supporters around the world, will commemorate Nakba day. They will beat their chests, cry inconsolably, hold rusty keys to buildings that don't exist, and shout out to the heavens about the injustice of colonialism and occupation. People around the world will weep with solidarity at the injustice of what has happened to them and curse the cruel European colonialists that kicked them out their homes. But it is all a lie, a farce, a whimsical tale woven in fiction and fantasy. Nakba day, or the 'Palestinian catastrophe' is not about the loss of a land that was never theirs. It is not about the destruction of a state that never existed. And it's not about the fictitious tale of Arabs being chased from their homes. It is about one thing only - the failure of the Arab world to commit mass genocide against the Jews of Israel and thereby add another 'glorious' chapter of Arab history. Chapters that include events such as the massacre of the Jewish community in Khaybar in ancient Medina, or the pogroms against the Jews in Hebron in 1929, or the slaughter of thousands of Jews in Morocco in 1465, or the many anti-Jewish rioting in the 1940s in Iraq and Libya and Egypt and Syria and Yemen that led to thousands of Jews being killed. Now many people, maybe some with good intentions, say we must recognise the pain of their loss and show sympathy and empathy to them. We must understand them and their side of the story so that we can go forward and build a better future together. But I will not be one of them. I will not recognise that 'pain' and I will not show empathy to a people whose leaders instruct their citizens to stab you and rip your heart out. I will not show sympathy to a system that indoctrinates children to hate from the very moment they can even open their eyes. I will not show any understanding to a society that honours those who commit mass murder by rewarding them with money and murals. To me, it doesn't matter how 'upset' the world is. It doesn't matter how many 'sad' stories from dishonest media like the BBC show. It doesn't matter how many fantastical headlines the New York Times invents. And it certainly doesn't matter how many groups jump up and down and criticise and threaten Israel - groups like some church bodies who support BDS, or university terror supporters masquerading as student bodies, or naive so-called Jewish groups like Jewish Voice for Peace, or IfNotNow who know or care little about being Jewish, yet miraculously find their Jewishness when it comes to bashing Israel under the banner of some warped understanding of the term tikkum olam. Even as I write these words, the Arab 'pain' has manifested itself in the form of over a thousand rockets being launched against innocent civilians - each of them with the intention of killing innocent people. But many world leaders, who love issuing statements, are not recognizing the pain or the suffering of my people forced into bunkers, often with just a few seconds warning before the terror rains down on them. Instead, they are naively calling on groups, recognised as terrorist entities, to restore calm and respect humanitarian law, as if terrorists have ever respected any innocent lives! Yet, there are so many who want to apply moral equivalency between terror groups who set out to murder, and a country trying to defend its civilians. It is mad. It is insane. It is crazy. And absolutely anyone who has any shroud of justice or decency knows that - yet are too scared to admit it. I do not blame innocent Arabs who are trying to provide a future for their children - instead I blame their corrupt leaders who live lavish lifestyles of luxury while reaping in the financial benefits of being 'oppressed.' I blame them for manipulating and corrupting and indoctrinating the minds of all those they supposedly rule, consigning them to a bleak future of nothingness. And I also hold those international bodies who do not seek to resolve the conflict, but perpetuate it, encouraging the lies and falsifications of history of an Arab narrative that never existed, while denying Jewish history that did. So no, on this day, I will not recognise their 'disaster' at all, because their 'disaster' meant my Jewish homeland lived and that means the Jewish future is brighter than it's ever been before. That is something we should never apologize for.

Question is, is Shane exaggerating, or is Emily selling herself short? I'll leave that up to interpretation.
As promised, going for less ambitious sketches for the next few rounds of my not quite inktober attempt. This time, Emily joins the shenanigans! Along with Shane, who may enjoy trying to bring her into the limelight more than she'd prefer. She's glad he's being supportive, though.
Characters: Shane and Emily from... My stuff! (Shane designed and created by a collaborator)
