  3. A quotation from The Bible

    A slip on the pavement is better than a slip of the tongue;
    the downfall of the wicked will occur just as speedily.
     
    [Ὀλίσθημα ἀπὸ ἐδάφους μᾶλλον ἢ ἀπὸ γλώσσης.
    οὕτως πτῶσις κακῶν κατὰ σπουδὴν ἥξει.]

    The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
    Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 20:18 (Sir 20:18) [tr. NRSV (2021 ed.), Ecclesiasticus]

  5. Ham dropped the sailed as the *Little WormMaid* came alongside the #slip at the pier on Candlemain. Will stepped off and tied off the bowline as Grip tied up the stern.
    "Ham!" Will barked. "You lead the men to the market to secure provisions."
    "Aye-aye, Cap'n!"
    Ham and three other pirates headed down the stone pier toward the Thursday-morning market that was in full swing.
    "What do you want me to do, Will?" Grip asked.
    "Come with me," he said. "We're going to meet someone." #wss366

  6. #TimeTravelingGhost EP 8: Post 85: 2025 Arkham 2 of 2 parts

    #Wss366 Slip #MastoPrompt Brunt #TimeTravelAuthors 03/27. Alternate timelines?

    [Continued from previous post.]

    “The second is that I would like you to take notes on what happens. Deposit them regularly and secretly. You will want to review them later.”

    “Where do you want me to leave them?”

    I hadn’t thought about that. I manifested a phone and searched for a mailbox rental place. “Rent a box in the name of Sarah Lock…”

    That was a #slip. I could feel Emily’s eyes boring into me. What is it with her and that name?

    “Lockhorn. Sarah Lockhorn,” I improvised. “At Arkham Mailstop.”

    “That’s too obvious. They’ll spot her depositing mail,” Emily said, and took the full #brunt of another of her glares.

    “Who?” Ms. Dubois looked between us, mystified.

    “I’ll explain in a minute. That’s item three,” I said.

    “I could leave them in my office?”

    “No,” Emily and I said together, and I continued, “It’s going to be ransacked.”

    “I don’t suppose you’re going to explain that,” the professor said, her tone petulant.

    “No, I’m sorry I mentioned it,” I said.

    Dubois sighed. “You know the hole in the big oak in Franklin Square Park? I could slip them in there.”

    “Where’s that?” I asked.

    "Behind that awful modern art statue. You know, the one that looks like a rock gnome giving the heavens the finger.”

    I didn’t know where that was, either, but I figured I could find it. There couldn't be many statues like that.

    "That will do," I said. "The third thing is to watch out for anthropomorphic rabbits wearing ICE Nine vests. Try to stay away from them. But note anything you see. It's important."

    “What? Rabbits?”

    Emily and I both shrugged and smiled.

  7. "That's the negotiator? They're just a li'l #slip of a thing!" whispered Nagels.

    "Size isn't everything." The negotiator had a disconcertingly bass voice.

    "True," said Maida. "Sometimes the tiniest things have the most power. Viruses. Ions. Cosmic rays."

    "When your kind say power, you usually mean power TO," observed the negotiator. "To do or to compel something. But power-to isn't everything, either."

    Nagels and Maida exchanged looks. Negotiations would be tough.
