“In Extremis by Stewart Stafford Saturnalia's trumpets sound, The ancestral chorus song, Time's gold web drawn back, For the stocks' denizen throng. Bawdy knights of the feral feast, Daze of snoring stranger sloth, As contagion's banquet guests, Sipping end times' galling broth. Bean found in fortuitous cake, A fool crowned Lord of Misrule, The meek's pantomimed throne, A drone in a queen bee's tulle. Fatted calf, societal scapegoat, Chattels mopping festive vomit, Charon coins on bloodshot eyes, Execution dawn to a dark comet. © Stewart Stafford, 2024.

“And without forgivness, there is never any peace.I tell you this from the distance of many centuries. My son gave his life. I won't reply to his gift with anger, not even for those who took him from me. Those same poor, sad people will wake up tomorrow grieving their own losses, I think, if they survie at all. How can hating them heal me?” Lord Of Misrule Author:Rachel Caine
“Michael, gergin bir günde, kaos yaşanırken arabada herkesi bir yere bırakıyordur.. Claire: Beni eve bırak. Teknik konularda çalışacağım. Eve: Ben Common Grounds'da inerim. Birileriyle konuşmam gerekiyor. Shane: Bende evde oturup televizyon izlerim. Oda önemli bir iş. Bu kadar baskı altında herkes beceremez.” Lord Of Misrule Author:Rachel Caine
