In Which I wonder: Are we on a Permian Moment, or are we on the Triassic?

Good evening, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you, today? Hope you have been well this week? I wish I did write sooner, we are on the eve of my blog's birthday, this publication is closer to being 10 years of existence, which is insane, and a bit odd. I do not know, at all, how to celebrate this year's, I haven't had good ideas for a while on how to mark the moment, as much as I'd love to. We'll see, I may write a short story, write a poem or something. Truth is I am still recouping from my big 2019 project(!), the over the garden wall fanfiction. How absurd that it took me so long,  but that ambitious project did cause me to become creatively tired, on this theme. This week was harsh in some moments, as I was suffering immensely from deep loneliness and lack of any inch of hope for better moments. Specially on last week's Sunday. I am recovering, but I still consider myself to be on a fragile state. I need to catch up with my college stuff ...

The Adventures of Mr D'Onofrio and his suitcase with 700 socks! Chapter 17

 “HALT! WHO COMES THERE?” Said the man, dressed in a fancy military uniform.

“Greetings. I am Zachary D’Onofrio, and this is Adelaide Forster. We’re heading to the Land of Socks”

“And where do you, lady and Gentleman, come from?”

“I am from the major City of Small People, from the woods”

“And I come from faraway lands and I come to see the Land of socks”

“I see, I must take note on the people that come in and come out, since the number of visitors from this area of the woods is scarce and may be suspicious, just as a matter of protocol, though, the Land of Socks is an open place for travelers such as yourselves”

“Is the Land of Socks close?” Asked Zach, barely hiding his enthusiasm”

“You’re stepping on it, just sign these book, and keep on walking, our Capital is close”

Zach and Adelaide could barely believe it; they have reached their destination, the Land of Socks. Zach was shaking when signing his name on the paper, and Adelaide was smiling wide-open. After the sentinel granted them right of passage, they started to run, happy, to their place, the trees were orange on the land of socks, the grass was a bit orange too, the sky kept on getting darker as the sun was going down and the moon was taking his place, and yet they were shining of joy. When they saw the first home, that had beautiful socks in its window, Zach felt like in a dream. They soon realized that this house was just the beginning, as they walked, one become dozen, and dozen become the capital of the Land. Zach was there.

He and Adelaide knock on a door, timidly, but also excitingly. The people that opened it were kind, and let them in with no further problems. Zach sang for them with an even more powerful energy while Adelaide was having dinner. They soon repeated the procedure, until Zach even started to get famous in the city, just a few hours after arriving. He was on his personal paradise.
