    #Wss366 Mercury #MastoPrompt Trepanning #TimeTravelAuthors 9/1. Does your story get “political?”

    “Well, someone wrote it, and it must mean something,” Emily said, tracing the chalk writing with her finger.

    “‘Fleetest feet’ clearly refers to #Mercury,” I said.

    “But what does Mercury symbolize? If you wrote it, I would interpret it as, ‘You need to be fast to catch the past.’ Autumn leaves symbolize the past. To catch the past, one needs to time-travel. The rabbit becomes Mercury, meaning it can time-travel, which is something we had already suspected.”

    I nodded. It was conjecture, but it made sense. Could I have written it, though? I puzzled over that and then said, “Well, according to the time particle theory, it wouldn’t need to be a paradox.”

    The only reply I got was a nod.

    After that, the mural showed a procession of figures, often with rabbits in period-appropriate garb. Most of the humans appeared to be kings or nobles, while others were warriors. Among them, I thought I spotted a Mayan #trepanning a victim, Nero plunging a dagger into his throat; Genghis Khan heading a horde; the Goths burning Rome; and Joan of Arc being tried. All races and genders were included.

    Latin captions replaced the Greek ones, while Sanskrit continued. The next translation we found was under a figure wearing medieval armor. He stood proudly holding a lance and a shield bearing a large, scarlet Maltese cross. Above the drawing, it was written:

    क्षुद्रे́भिः क्षुद्रे́भिः छेदै́रपि महा́न् वनस्पतिः पतति
    Multis plagis parvis cadit magna quercus.

    In chalk below appeared: "Council of Nicosia, Christmas 1191: 'Many small cuts will fell the great oak.'"

    “This definitely looks like your writing,” Emily said.

    “Well, I wish I weren’t so cryptic!”

    “It wouldn’t be you if you weren’t.”

    The figures became more recognizable as we progressed. Emily recognized Ivan the Terrible, Tsar Nicholas II, and Robespierre, who stood next to a guillotine. Each person was accompanied by sneering, whispering rabbits. We both recognized Stalin and Hitler. Next to the latter were rabbits wearing SS uniforms. Later, I recognized Trollop, alongside men with "ICE-Nine" emblazoned on their jackets, like a medieval insignia. Here, the rabbits wore red hats.

    Few tyrants weren’t associated with the creatures.

  6. "Upgrade your life?" The man squinted at the poster. "Says I can improve my memory, make better decisions and gain confidence. All in one easy step. Oh." His face fell. "Some #trepanning needed."

    "Only a small hole," argued his robot companion. "Sounds great to me."

    "In 2023, Raduga performed neurosurgery on himself, drilling a hole into his skull to insert electrodes in his brain. He trained himself for the surgery by watching videos on YouTube and practising on sheep heads. [...] He was in Kazakhstan at the time, after being forced to leave his research lab in Russia when the war in Ukraine began."
