Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
The evidence is there, let there be no mistaking, for this day dawned a glowering truculence. Clearly, a malevolent spirit was given a free hand, entrusted with the measure of the day, finding it wanting. The face of the sky and the nascent day began in good enough humour. The sun's glowing orb in full residence, that face smiled gently, warm upon the Earth. The cloistered trees moved by a gentle breeze sent their dry leaves to whispering the good news. Which obviously offended that malign spirit who with clenched fist unloosed dark brooding clouds to screen the sun, then whipped the breeze to a frenzied whirlwind, auguring ill for the innocent day to become foul-mooded instead. The trees sulked and dropped their foliage, the clouds argued ferociously among their sullen peers, clashing, thundering angrily, pelting the land below with a fusillade, then a torrent of furious tears. Ill humour, alas, ruled the day. An decidedly will wind bore the message.
