*impulse

Dalliance and Dainty

And rather brutal.

The spectators vibrate with glee. The riders snarl. Wild steeds surge like entangled climbers. And, deep in the dewy morning hills, the hermit awakens.

Night Falls On The Vampire City

The eremite pursues the Flashmo Bots, screeching and flailing about. The bots have lost their will and now cower in a grassy corner of the crawling, endless metropolis. The air flutters, the sky flickers, and the midtown park is full of the bat's wings.

Yet always during the endless nights, the berserk recluse hears quicksilver ponds boiling over by the keep. While he flits through the sinuous alleys or the wailing canals, he hears them in his quivering whorls.

Flashmo Bots

Fierce, biomass-powered, terrarium-housing, long-tailed robot beasts confront the wild hermit. He shrieks and emits sparkling lightning and flaming fans in maddened, tumultuous pulsations.

The bots look perplexed. They flicker like old black and white movies, then flee.

The Hermit Rages At The Dumbing Down Of *impulse

Where are the convoluted Miltonian phrases?
Where are the Nightingale parodies, the Grecian Urn journeys?
Where's the cranberry sauce?
Where's the pumpkin pie?

Ah, the hermit will have to endure some more glitz, more flickering whims and hot-and-new reviews before *impulse re-centers itself and once again explicates the happenings of the quirky, expansive heath and its recalcitrant denizens.

Before we pipe unheard melodies to eternal Calliope, we will lounge in the Flash glow and guzzle Cherry Coke.

Antiaging Wunderkind Paul Displays Energy and Vitality in a Dance

A little moving, a little grooving, the hermit's sneering and Geekbabe's cringing.

Already With Thee, Boundless Is The Multiverse

Then, the maddened eremite emerges from the cavern with a bundle of sticks, cubes and cylinders, spangled powders and long fuses, slow-burning incense and a wicked smirk. The display is about to begin.
