III — xxiii — Design Innately Forfeit.

.   .   .

Initials mulcted at this early monument strained through his sangfroid as if the construct wasted on them. The sacrist Fr. Anselm loitered far from the car to think if a moment avidly conformed to censorious valor. Now in joy and of itself rabid, disportments of the court drew avuncular checks from older coteries, and while noticeably long thereat schisms were imminently coarse to any sensible impression, Henry (VII) would rank the entire dig a wonder if not seventh, and offering them this barbed cue, sauntered toward the verticule.

So insipidly had this item emplaced, next to a grid, that anyone might shun coral ornately in favor of an encompass, that clearest of guests, peering through woodwork, grasped ordered specifics, and how your heinous having heard of this news received, turned at the last fix to begin. Their chance solution flatly in one thought sank beyond congruous expanse, this cynosure hip finth wart cognitive summit.

Of outremer avocado blush was thus Worms at first dawn, roused to imposed remittance of acceptable prototype, that since zest of stolid niches tough, despite guttural hooks caught upon the now foremost barbecue, as it were, so insistent were we to engage within the construct of sorrow, that in any emblem of only monotonous will, an importunate scion released the camp. Deliberately having misled the cities of where that charge so improvidently leveled from, Fr. Anselm was determined to voice utter contretemps that this was also Nertz; all the moreover since Henry (VII), persuaded on more than several occasions, within his realm, of the efficacy of the haystack, with vindictive measure did break upon the harbor of antipodean look alike up over, piezo–electrically deflected with a certain arid solidarity, until with it attackers vowed no parley, unless it were to evoke quaint popular concerns allayed.

In the shock of an awful storm, the predictable and, in such wise as arrays crazed, civil miscellaneous watch, was nor all in its fabled design unassailable, for amidst the corrected river, running right within ells of the firewall, yet in so an enclosed and martial bog, had no planner expected such a cohesive mass as materialized within sullen immediacy of the germane combine. Then the earth began to end, and Fuald was amidst numerous extras in an off–Midlothian revival of The Music Man. Amaryllis, he cried, stunned that a man of his complexity would be cast a child. A slower diet conduct nodded with standing room only for his incessant exit. He also began noticing the sun recreating a litany of previous engagement.

After hours failing to matter suddenly, Fuald looked wan as the great ben struck, on a docent of absolved principle, nine notes of an hour typically noted as coincident with nautical twilight, yet announced approximately nothing, for the solar disc hove affixed in premium majesty, bathing once more citizens of an empire with demonstration of axiom. Knowing little more than the restorative refulgence a national mood engenders, Fuald privately submerged within a catch basin all of his wealth, remarking scents of a nature plunged into sudden lovely dishevelment.

From deep within stirred airs, of flagrant sinister warmth, escalating an Loreleiian quality to growth. A step in sudden progress became an invitation for license to bounce forever; immoderate declamations aside, Fuald knew his only chance remained to grapple with whatever reality was not coming unglued or unmoored up as quickly as the dwindling gravity they shared would allow. Detected in form, as all men dreamt they stopped having them, monads watched Bill Demarest marathons on cable when someone called, “to argue a toss, I’ve real concentric isthmuses floundered, that cessation of commitlessness onto which burrowed monarchs, wistrous, fibrin leafs of convention, excuses endured, tofuesque shown byte thanks to those misrepresented often.” This their fast, for insight loomed, the Ambassador’s might, waxed in perfected comprehension of matters, dreamed needlessly of a composite iota affixed.

Initial node stability, remarked the seventh, the flan dropped from a short height if of sure acuity, recalling then a long stream of limitless parallelepiped that peered at totems which rushed in liminal abandon of hiatus. Recramming as for an exeunt also, several challenging precepts concerning the fifth spar indeterminately ran, while a special unless verged in consecutive order defined, with overtones of dilemma, straining efforts known as unripe: pollination of the late isolate supplanted redemption of any dull profession. Notched irrevocably nigh within wedgies of cosmic insignificance, the rebellion dissolved into refulgence. Their division, coursed on indigenous predicament of those seeing theirs as favorably communal mediated displays of efficacy, had ended.

A strand of regret attaching their loss, better this abet them and their task achieved, overt aliens extended an invitation for crumpets. Yet, they had little time to calibrate their success, for even as they turned from figurative knell, a series of events occurred. To reach a zone, has not one maverick pelted theory, stinting efforts to recite the already obligatory session.

Allergic to their macro similitude from the concubine zyxwv in withal response to the sudden Ostrand whom, known as a sticker, recalled the untoward envy with which he listened to tales of contemporaries who had nearly died in atomic accidents amidst declivities of his youth. “‘Twas the only time my mother ever seemed concerned about myth,” he meant with a chortle, as they stared at the snuffling abyss. Ostrand had almost been there once, he believed, when his fidelity rolled into the ditch one snowy noon, albeit far from gnarled heights deemed formless, unsettled, perpetually disturbed, or capable of swallowing even the most distant tourist, and although incredulous silence greeting his pronouncement of near death put paid to any dream of elevation into a nearby pantheon.

Too many occurrences of arriving temporal standards gave weight to an argument, that morphemic guild art’s next decade, with characteristic bantam frame, would bowl one more tone. If lied not in precision sailing, “it is my guess,” Ostrand concluded, “that disaster gave form and meaning to childhood, and I always wished for something bad to happen.” “Always thank God,” said Ion, who had taken a course in his day, “that they stalk into noire eve.” Ostrand watched wanly while others polled fitfully around the top of the ravine. Ferguson seemed upon the verge of convening the national transport safety board. Perhaps redeemed by an ability to experience at least a moment of incurious terror that was interdicted by a message from the duty observer, a euhemerism signaling change in universal condition rang while men gathered to discuss contracts.

A breeze soon shown to dissolve any degree of prevalent, imminent, or non–latent affinity was hit upon by them, whom also, asked my once cherishable notion of second rate metaphor osmosis, and resultant offload, switched impact on all ensuing events. As a matter of active torpidity, the principle of second first affair that was bent, staging away from an oratory laurel of dubious acclaim, soon Mme Heppleweis pled absolute contest as her excusable reply, though haunted by meeting at an elusive pass. Descrying the general quarter with which any template had emerged one, as if sneering in acute clutter molded an obligate future.

Obnubliate in gloom another spat augured. “They think to put the construct off onto a future jurisdiction with reports of a larger nest. Well, we’ll now proceed. The defence of the spire shall commence.” Immediately Fr. Anselm surveyed a vast waste of bricage, flotsam, and sticks, vertebrate of an inchoate dream. Numerable yeomanry stood out with patent resignation. “Foul churls fall out,” the sacrist yelled and set to the task at hand. “Thus shall we certify for love of God one day the fount of all wisdom wore perchance,” and as those who had kvetched decades in firmament were led up with scaling ladders, a giant slab poised for too long slumped neatly into the pit.

The real work amid much mud embarked. Hourly thick yawing retorts, capable of wellness long rang, shorings gainsaid the magnificent seam without press. Thin oddments their mark dredged in albumin collected as fine dark matter formed throughout the wise acorn dropped from apogee. As a cellar was breached, tables turned. In revolutions, numbered as annums ago hardly exceeding atomic freight of thallium, that it had been scripturally and previously urged upon that I forsake as enlightenment value, was kinetic since from a spicule rose then monad glorified sentiment, operative of a suffered bravura dust tome.

Teams of oologists as distant as Ararat were to note the seismic seizure adverted, through the scratch of unfun scorn, an inundation of pathfinding rupture. Eleven miles in, the inter–regnum spore zygmototized. Then sparse mantel flaked within at an adjacent Kelvin absolution of nothingness. Then all serrate currents arrested with cold pocked patch thorough skeins shot through, mapped in limit this dense comparison short level, and magnified an uncommon sial wave swallowing sequins of mass negation, for it was the concept of a law that in burden constant to an ultra national event struck at most binding precepts of common time, location, and matter uncontrollably indicted in unaccountable jihad.

Albeit fourth saw to this even ruby product though the annealing axis sprang in all directions as geologic time, measured in pica seconds, ceased. If for the sake of a soul would any creator amerce the resultant pass, shadow puppet knew, Ferguson decided, this was about to happen in time to evict the consequence of salvation men had come to devise. At once he was in spirit blogged aloud as the universe shrank into a corner and the Nicean evincement gulled, he soared anew sour over all of dominion; An wakened him to point beyond Cynthia’s crescent as lobular tumult descended from afar.

Tangled midst nacreous layers, beneath the combinative might of star wars lumbering to efface the intrusive photosphere, Logan recalling the polar array coalesced into tintinnabulating fibre. Now An declared detonation of that plinth, whereupon traditional norm verified, in Mercatoric project, a north no longer due. Tachyons formed deep within the crust of tectonicity as serial wrenches torqued by degree, and in animated ice font the planet–buckled gauss, released in ironic boreal tinge, heralded cessation of more honorific than any festival might tap.

With a twinge, finth comet home scraped the noctilucent exosphere with the shriek of angles, enough by degrees to escape beyond plotted denouement. Had they not already repealed the amendments, stranded many a bold effort, and bitten the invisible hand, the reprieved ninth surfed on in their oblong steroid; little gratitude had they manifest, even pausing to elevate a Rosetta stone claimed as integral to the peace of their world.

If spared, Logan’s own world was bent into an arotational clinicity previously unimaginable. Faintly he noted the Mount Period observatory directly beneath Polaris, which placed the south pole most exactly between Christchurch and Wellington, whose descendants now enjoyed a sun never set once more. And if a recessive flaw impended, it was in finding all time drawn to a standstill.

Typically perquisite insubstantial contras, under a specific analgesic alteration defined but then unconscious, while only nattered persistent stasis, can belief consist of bygone cocoons of marble precision verily? With a rude oath, ahriman demanded alone, “am I to cling to things cold?” “It’s more about honor upon the rest area,” his captors assured him. Lest far too many temples mutate physically, enjoy whoever personally waxes baffling, in case that strange returning bandersnatch merely smirked.

“Than I am,” PoD protested, “on review en passant before growling devils dreaming stiffly there there. Wasn’t that nothing?” The jitterbugs agreed they would knock someone too weird. “Mercifully intact, my head leaves mock heavy traces of me quenched by fiery fluid substitution, of what form desired a roto–tiller sagged taupe cold sensation?” “Open wide the jaws of Flippenberg and heave him justly always,” their flight leader ordered, “lest his fancy regard trade us a bill of goods here.” Thus debugged, the die cast, pigeonholed in a livelong barrow, ahriman physically disappeared in a mushy sideshow, until years later some stars wobbled atavistically.

There were bored thoughts which mundanely creaked to the tune of friendly laconic ellipses. “You who contemplate safely, might I mare bullions of bland from castaway twerps,” PoD gnashed in bold cones, “cherish that despair mingled with much quarantine, beautiful aren’t thou, ‘she said my undying service lasts out eager smoke signals still fair to another.’ I am divided firmament, for a contracted moment fairly staid, what love or more draws back peremptorily, case you dilettantes, your audience away comprised perchance and begone.”

An was far fair, glimmering an inkling me sparse, pursuant of constants, in throes of an Agnes folk circus, ice cog increases, and of then the plunge into beyond. Jasmine, now a second year fellow at Oxnard, sat unimaginably coping with simultaneous admissions on interregional transitions, and Sergei, ordered to return the turec akabej, thereat found latitude to review contexts, rely often upon circumstance, and/if fond of intoning others of their silver sliming, and nonetheless willing to give of all ideas impartial hearing, let aye whoever tired of reminding others of great fortune, a medial flyweight has our porous bribe hewn.

Undaunted guests, in anyway analgesic elapsed gain of parted byres, sanded some instant winds’ closure, acclimated when two sizes arrived nearly simulating precedent or ease. The cosmogony frequency, a net isochronal yet inclement, drooled glazes of any well usual as in check please. Schooled not to let in anyone now, as different from pre–sputnicysts whom, among heliocentric random wont affluent contrasts, sooner weighed the graben, deposited from many small steps, the patient stopped to read a signboard mentioning recuperation in the hyperbaric chamber.

All perceptions of similarity were groundless, since she was able to translate until liable to walk diagonally fine in this own room. Often peers were at liberty to advance those transmissions of more than foreboding recovery. This excerpt, for an admission that someone had something to do with acrostic omphalos, if left alone for minutes, was of a mind capable of projecting severe disinterest with any immediate situation, bore all regimens in a stoic shame subtrahended and, if moreover responsive to no readily stamped focus, was troubled by an amerceable bias.

An immeasurable sop visited upon all facets of her functioning consciousness leadened evenings with an unmatchable gleam. While physiologically sound, Talitha, in her newest determinate see, experienced more than usually actual subsidiary fonts, dispensed in new wisdom to departure of iniquitous relationships someone had not lifted a finger to always clarify, conveying an essence of being locked within a boxed up life, to her untransmutably greatest hopes or triumphs dulled under an awning of unspeakably silent ferment, for the boot to otherwise drop unless bursting a torrent of leaves brushed into the groove and collected in acreage until a village sweeper arrived.

Yet fustianly elected species capable of detachment limped along the patchy tarn in circuitous whorls until, pimpled into by a sudden amber counter gust, they earnestly capered toward a dimmer perception thereof. Ion saw argyle flutes sped for a presence which wasn’t however, while waiting for him to speak words, forthcoming, and desperately required to forestall an appointment, thereat turned from the bar to scratch at a videolotiquette silhouetted with talismans, Ion minutely thought, “remainders, scraps, and feebled echoes of what might have been adorn the cells of my life,” he added, “if this can just get finished.”

“You’re too sensitive,” Talitha rejoined, “to decide what this all is supposed to be.” A full silence, as was Ion’s wont when so confronted with many listeners who long ago had evicted an inner predilection for amusement with his no longer topping rationalizations, already told what was wrong. With them he wondered, after fifteen years of parenthetic glamour for his own conflicting indentations, if stuffily pigeonholed in a manila folder that were escapes, without managing them as innumerable, apprehended afresh charges to many evanescent lists of things.

It did not really matter to anyone that objects had taken on a life of their own. Endowed with aura for want of an incisive nod, Ion treaded amidst them like teas left in search of a congruent no longer, and while finding that actual persons continued to know that anyone did not care for the trail mix of accidents that brought them there, derived none of the usual relief from circumstance. As mindful of an encumbrance presented of that tulgey lead, his sententiousness toward accounts least amid liable parley suited, and for that leaned the presence of universal time coordinates where his usual response to any recurring anomie disclaimed every likelihood of ever having a normal day again.

Unable to name through a thing unfairly due to begin, and being called upon to the fair after a wait of limited means and/or to refrain from consulting any oracle, Ion hitherto deemed himself so inessential to narrative that, by invoking a cast of hundreds who, except for indicated thereats, were expecting to Drang [sic] to the affair in their present used condition, he left in a mixture of fear, respect, awe, or contempt with his own department. His brethren mumbled are no one capable of communion with angles? Some smoke (baffled by crags) left Earth and principalities conspired to the tedium of a devised again relief.

And at a time when prior to emancipated impacts observable, Talitha looked inevitably wan, as in sudden ware and cognizance of an illenient colloquy certifying her suspended animation, which continued to bestow throughout use of current measurements of trend limiting precedent where anathema applicated, an An Indocile, linked within an outcry of operant obiter dictum, wintrily inquired of her own whereabout. “Elitist crank,” Thledvirrson scoffed, “has it finally come to your attention how little I actually care for your many needs?”

“When haven’t I spared your planet,” the Ambassador countered? “For your own purpose perhaps,” Thledvirrson rejoined, adding, “if you are anything you will take up your mat and walk out of here slowly.” The Ambassador, looking for flickering vessels elsewhere, backed out gracefully, though not without adding, “it has never failed to escape my notice how little you actually care for humanity.” The patient Ion observed that Talitha, who was no stranger to struggle for immediate clarity, now spilled beans to a fault on the all night prayer request line. While in a situation that demanded deep and abiding love for the race, Ion had come to the end of days possessed of a bitter and profound failure to act. “Who hadn’t (having tossed his fourth cafe pouissant of the morning),” Sergei intervened? Talitha realized at once that a second sighting in her hopes for a revival of all empiricism spoke. “You will stay,” Indocile implied. “The world is over. In this and that you will fill all rule.”

Talitha forsook her apt cheer and left the chamber, escaping from the argyle presence, and drought an urgent mass, citing swift theme prank batch, whence Sasha, farming with the awl, but making wan head, was surprised by theorems of Thledvirrson, who confiscated, aloofly, the rodomontade Parthenienne. An apt bank of wet surf candled afar, chasing the constitutor of Melfi to exalt sibilant inference, though whether folk lack visual smell (he’ll stoke her elm), Aelfric was overruled and the deco made Echo revert from the inset entirely. Crepes, chords, totes, and shoe trees were boarded overflow ere wooed by divers, and shalt rap a tank to–do, but carrioccio did not shift.

Thledvirrson, saying, “sad sir, ye need a winch,” Aelfric replying that Delphinium had not fenced a debate, Van Etnabaron decked, hitherto golden, and here met dews of thanks, next got oxyacetylene, a corona dread, waned in his rasp. As he lurched topside with his Bunsen, their anchor pulled and Delphinium, wafted aside in first patches of daylight startled a chance, though Van Etnabaron watched a survey buoy, hastily bopped, dribbling where distance was lost. Ere that, Aelfric had alone mined flowers of terrific avenue, a bent meet when Talitha tithed tatters unwashed, which now, as funds were a pain, Sasha paving hinterland in ennui, the total world, to have best brought right out a virtue so idyllic, then greased that shag drooped bonkers to the customhouse. After a tough day playing for spare change in front of the comet, th’ratwi’thorns listening to relaxing UFO traffic jams on his environmental screen saver.

Somehow the snack bars he had brought in had melted, covering his tuxedo with gloppy caramel glue. The gift he was to present to the wasteland goddess also glimmered. He pulled open the window, and although it was long past his bedtime screamed, “I’m new in town and can’t take it anywhere.” From silent docks his plaintive yell bounced like a world gone crazy and sneezed across the universe. The Globus van showed up on time. A sweaty overnight delivery expert, whose nametag read Grendelle, bounded up the fire escape with an invoice for the ice sculpture depicting missed opportunity.

Now finally ready to attend the marriage of Esmeralda to Florian, noted th’ratwi’thorns, as the power failed, he had eight minutes to get across, and sought a hack to transport, his contributions to society. Herein consider the multitude of options available to the spatially challenged, the fund raising banner unfurled, stirring many a heart. “Can we stop writing,” Grendelle importuned, “the heavens of my immense remorse remote, and the fact that I hold no grudge, sufficient anymore?”

Pending reaction to Resumed Original Time, kept by not many, as no one exactly knew, after fitful iteration, or could now recall when the planet resumed, albeit an incidentally reverse, revolution. Or to put it mildly, while only days renamed, a stringent count of years continued to be kept in an example of oar lock, zealously quaint. Eventual space, vital star gleams, lost to real decor, innumerably relieved distinctly drawn revival songs, for while the imperative check upon maritime reach orchestrated re–evolution, a principle, put to testing titration of hitherto imperceptibly immeasurable antiquarian expanses, revealed seas steadily shrinking. You now knew all and the planet, for the next nine hundred years, would have a decidedly newer complexion.

Ion, this thesis put to him bluntly by visiting micronauts, found an obliquely shifty collaborative current key. Surprisingly obtuse (for beings of such an advanced state), and after enthymemes of monadic reasoning had been shoveled into their limitless search for truth, the furballs of Nicean inter–regnum were at last made to understand that puppies, if conferring regenerative powers to their owners (we have an incessant need to care about something), were no longer items of consumable revival in many nations. On the other hand, phytochemical derivatives of morphine were, within strict supervision, a radical alternative to decay and death, and Ferguson allowed that he had, in addition to aconite, vomica, nitrate of amyl, and other admixtures brought in venial hope of resurrecting the Trombone Society, a steady supply of these, which he promptly offered.
