found fourings flagon
Among the random selection of communal mugs in the ice cream factory’s break room, I found this artifact celebrating everyone’s favorite afternoon meal.  I have to wonder if it has been there all along or if it has actually been planted by some nefarious agents with viral intentions.

a shadow is falling over creation, something vast is stirring in the dark…
…time is bleeding, shapes of things once lost are moving through the veil, the darkness heralds only one thing, the end of time itself.

shhhhh…don’t tell finn
It is a pre-war flat top Corona “Silent”.  There are a couple of small dings in the lacquer, and it needs to be cleaned up a little, but it is a beautiful typewriter that works well. She loves typing on my Smith-Corona “Clipper”, so I think she is going to like having a typewriter of her own.

I start a new gig on Monday, and I am gathering up all of the necessary tools and supplies.
Besides being able to fix nearly anything, this little beauty writes in ultraviolet ink, lights up, and makes a cool sonic screwdriver sound.

I will keep it stashed in my bag until the coast is clear, but it will be good to have around in case of emergencies.
