Little fears, big time-gap

LittleFears25 Comments

Howdy WordPress. It’s been a long time, eh? 

I keep meaning to make this post, but every time it turns into a ramble. I’ve returned this weekend to do some housekeeping though, so I’ll try and do some TL:DR of my notes and failed attempts at this post.

  1. Holy heck, you’re an incredible, wonderful, and supportive bunch.
  2. The Fears isn’t returning. Quite literally, just came back to do some housekeeping. I’ll be taking a lot of stuff offline in 2021.
  3. I like projects that end. It’s not a bad thing. *Eyes Big Bang Theory, Simpsons, and Fonzie strapping on a pair of water skis* 
  4. I’ve lost access to my old email, and with it, some social media accounts. If you see spam, it’s not me, and sorry I can’t do anything about it.
  5. I’m aware some posts have reposted on WordPress, sorry, I haven’t logged in or looked at the Fears in a year. Only just found out today.
  6. WordPress is still a wonderful community with terrible technology.
  7. So much bad stuff happened to me across 2016-2019 it’s a miracle Fears sustained me at all, regardless of its ending.
  8. It wasn’t a miracle. It was you, the readers and subscribers. What an incredible, wonderful, and supportive bunch. Thank you.
  9. I still despise leaseholders, Land Registry, HMRC, and the Tory party.
  10. I’m in a frickin’ wonderful place in life now.
  11. Thank you. For reading, supporting, and groaning at the Little Fears.

I know, there’s some repetition there, but I cannot stress enough how awesome you good folks are.  

Thank you.

I’ve lost access to my old email, Amazon Publishing account and some social media accounts. Also, two business’ are using the exact words, Little Fears, as a product name. They have trademarks and copyright. 

I haven’t received any solicitors letters (yet), and I’m still happy with the last series of stories as a bookend to this project, and as I haven’t been here for a year, yeah. We can safely call this a finished project and move on.

The domain name pops in a few months. When that happens, I’ll swing back in and delete all accounts associated with the Fears that I can.

I don’t have any projects online at the moment, but you can find me under the handle Idle PX in a few places. Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and WordPress. Currently only active properly on Twitter. Not sure I’m set on using WordPress, but it seems a lot of you still hang out here. Would be nice to catch up. I’m doing some VSS365 stories at the moment, but only to get back into a writing habit. It’s not a Fears V2.

I hope to catch up with some of you over the next few weeks, and I will be hunting some of you down, heh.

Cheers.

Done

“I’m done trying to bring back Spectre,” said Sprite. “Something of him is living on, and I guess that’s the best we can hope for when a loved one passes.”

“I’m done torturing Meria,” replied Lucy. “I have a wife to get back too.”

“I’m done telling Jelly to turn down her music,” said Parrotfish.

“To be fair,” said Sprite, “that is sound advice.”

Mop

As the group watched Spectre walk away. “You’re not the only one stuck in life,” Lucy said.

“I know,” sighed Sprite. “I just wanted him back.”

Lucy squeezed Sprite. “I need to head home and see my wife. I left after an argument some weeks back. She was ranting at me that I never did the housework right. It took me ages to mop the carpet.”

Sprite chuckled. “Thank you, Lucy.”

Sprite let out a fart. “Sorry, bruv, had a curry last night.”

“What?” asked Spectre.

“I had a hot curry last night,” said Sprite. “Fuen said ‘ringsting,’ I said ‘why? What will he know about it?'”

Spectre stood up, dusted herself off and backed away into the dunes. “I don’t know you, I’m not your bruv and you’re not funny.”

Dreams

“I think,” cried Spectre, “I know what I am. I’m just a humans dream or idea, right?”

“That’s right,” said Lucy. “You get to live here for a while until the human that dreamt you up forgets about you.”

“Don’t worry about the human getting insomnia,” said Jelly, “it won’t cause you to vanish.”

“Insomnia is awful, bruv,” said Sprite. “But on the plus side, only three more sleeps until Christmas.”

Shout out and thanks to Lisa, J. I. Rogers and Tina for buying me cuppa on Ko-Fi yesterday.

Stones

“Where am I?” asked Spectre.

“You’re on a beach,” replied Jelly. “Found in the lands between the world of the living and the dead.”

“Here, take a seat on this rock,” said Lucy.

“That’s a great rock,” said Sprite. “It measures 1760 yards in length. I’d say it’s a milestone.”

Recall

“It looks like one’s surviving,” remarked Cuttle.

Sprite helped her to her feet. “You’re a…”

Lucy slid her arm around Spectre and moved her away from the sea. “A Spectre by the look of it.”

“OK, I get it,” sighed Sprite. “No two humans recall a memory or idea exactly the same way.”

Expectations

“I don’t understand,” said Sprite, stepping out of the dunes. “I showed over a hundred humans pictures of Spectre. Are none of them remembering him for more than a few minutes?”

“You’re an idiot,” sighed Lucy, “with unrealistic expectations of humans.”

“You can’t expect much from a species,” chimed in Jelly, ” that make eight Fast and Furious films and not once show them stopping for petrol.”

Shout out and thanks to KC of K.C.’s Scribbling and Gina of GinaRaeMitchell.com for buying me a couple of cuppas over on Ko-Fi.com yesterday.

Wire

Another Spectre stepped out of the ocean, screamed, then sunk into the sand.

“This is Sprites doing,” sighed Lucy. “I just know it is.”

“He’s obsessed with getting Spectre back, aye?” asked Jelly.

“Yeah,” grumbled Lucy. “He should have left it alone and gone back to his wife. She’s just come home from working in an internet cafe in Australia.”

“I see,” remarked Cuttle. “She comes from a LAN down under…”

Gym

“I’ve just broken up with Desmond,” sighed Jelly.

“The gym trainer?” asked Lucy. “What happened?”

“Oh, you know,” sighed Jelly. “We just weren’t working out.”
