Close to You

to be sung to the tune of Anne Murray’s “Close to You”.

Why do clouds suddenly appear

every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be close to you.

Why does hail fall down from the sky

every time you walk by?

Just like me, it longs to be close to you.

On the day that you were born the angels got together

and decided to create a dream come true

so they sprinkled midnight in your hair and hints of corpselight

in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the ghouls in town

follow you all around.

Just like me, they long to be close to you.

Adventures Dark and Deep

This is not a proper review of this TTFRPG1, but just a silly observation. Two of the books related to this system are the Book of Lost Lore and the Book of Lost Beasts.

I haven’t completely evaluated new vs. recycled content in these books (that will wait for the proper review, mayb), but one thing that niggles at me is the names of these books.

The cover art is great, the internal art is fine, but the Book of Lost Lore already has two Ls in it. It should be the Libram of Lost Lore. Tell me I’m wrong.

So, the Book of Lost Beasts also has two identical initial letters: B. This one was a bit trickier (partly because there are sooo many synonyms for “book”), but I’ve come up with the Book of Bygone Beasts. That lends it a flair of “ye olde and mystick past” as well as being properly alliterative.

Why?

This is an incredibly good question. My writing is mostly characterized by long lapses when I write nothing at all. How, then, can a Follis Wood blog be worth writing, let alone reading? Well, I’m afraid I have no answers, but if you’ll accompany me in this adventure, we’ll perhaps discover them together. I hope to have information about my upcoming novel, Eris – A Tale of the Nether, with perhaps some excerpts, etc. I may also be persuaded by my incredible daughter to write some book reviews.
