Last year, Marshal Latham did a very bad thing. But what I did might have been even worse.
Over at the Journey Into... Podcast, he created a story contest once again inspired by the music of Journey. This time, though, there was a visual aspect to it all, as he fed the lyrics of each song into an image generating program. The song I was assigned was Faithfully, the one about a musician on the road, missing his lady love, and most certainly not mutant related.
But this was the image it generated for me:

| Circus life, anyone? |
So,
I wrote a story ("Faithfully") about a man who used to travel around,
judging records for the Guinness Book, who has lost his sense of
wonder. And then he goes to a mystifying backwoods circus, and sees
Marcelo, the dog-boy.
It's another of those tales that I wrote
in a fever, with very little memory of, which is always nice for me to
revisit. It ended up a quite long story, but is it a good one? Well,
you can find out for yourself by listening to this week's Journey
Into... podcast episode, where my tale is narrated by the talented (and
muscular) Wilson Fowlie. Click HERE and send all your love along the
wire.
