Huh? Not making any sense? Because of the nature of these little flash fiction vignettes, I thought it would be helpful to index previous back stories and journal entries. Although Artiste’s tales are non-linear, it can help to read some pages in groups by threads of associated content. Of course you could just read them randomly, and trust that it will all come together at some point.
The beginning back story is always a great place to start:
• The Artiste Gullible back story
For this particular installment it also may help to read:
• Destiny’s designs

[image] A young woman, with a tired but satisfied expression, smiles at Artiste Gullible.
[text] Outside the village of Kent, I met a travel fatigued girl who wore brass fitted goggles, and a smile. She nodded as we exchanged looks; me on my way to afternoon tea, and she on her way to the aerodrome.
Our common perception was one of pity. Although I have long since traded mine for the reverie of her adventures.

I’ve been reading this for a few weeks now, and I think this is my favourite one of your adventures.
Thank you for posting your travels for the slightly more mundane of us to read and be wistful about.
Thank you for leaving a comment. This is one of my favorites as well. It is not over wrought, and it feels unhurried. There are no concerns about loose ends and making sure I am being clear. I often use this one installment as the icon of emotional brevity. This steampunk explorer will eventually become more important in AG’s life, which will as been hinted at “Destiny’s Designs.”
Thank you very much for reading.
