Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 21, 2016

The better to smell you with, my dear!

So she suffocated him and now he’s in the local symmetry.

And is all said and done then. He’ll be mine forever.

A fixer-upper then? As long as the foundation is sound, in this case the symmetrical nostrils, then you can remodel the rest with just a little bit of effort.

Upon excusing himself to use the restroom before an accident, he hopes that he can run just as fast as his nose can..

Ah, the pretty do have an easier time of it, don’t they?

My favorite part was “bereft.”

The girls nose their gossip.

It takes one to nose one.

There are nostril stretches and surgery available to redeem asymmetrical nostrils. So either he didn’t need redemption or already had it.

Now I am really GLAD to have read that. Really.

I’ve known some VERY annoying skirtloads, too.

Soon, Innerspace Communications was a registered trademark owned by VTR. Instantaneous communications became ordinary. Dr. Altwin discovered that there was a Grand Layout And Design for the universe. More importantly, the G.L.A.D. was fluid. The next logical step was moving matter through inner space, employing the fluid nature of the G.L.A.D.. There were obstacles, of course, but Dr. Altwin lived up to his given name and skated through them, using applied brute mental force where necessary.

Twenty years later, there existed a device no larger than a microwave oven that could be used for instantaneous transport of objects, and even people, enclosed within a spherical region with a radius of 12 meters. There was a price. The energy representing an object moving from one place to another had to be balanced by an equal amount of energy from where it went. The laws of thermodynamics could not be violated. Using Inner space allowed energy to be extracted from the “quantum foam” to maintain the G.L.A.D. symmetry.

In fact, the entire process of Innerspace transport was one of exchanging patterns within the underlying energy that was unseen and unknown in the visible universe, but which kept it going, providing the forces that maintain particles and all their interactions, quantum, atomic, chemical, magnetic, gravitational and inertial, the invisible G.L.A.D.-handing that runs everything.

Typo and repost.

skipped a period in G.L.A.D..

Long story, long time ago.

Go figure, eh?

How superficial you are! Symmetrical nostrils is all you want? Well call me Crooked and strike me off your “annoying but…” list, ‘cause I’m just annoying!

Well, how observant.
