hurrah for the bulwer-lytton fiction contest

"She resolved to end the love affair with Ramon tonight . . . summarily, like Martha Stewart ripping the sand vein out of a shrimp's tail . . . though the term "love affair" now struck her as a ridiculous euphemism . . . not unlike "sand vein," which is after all an intestine, not a vein . . . and that tarry substance inside certainly isn't sand . . . and that brought her back to Ramon."

2004 winners now out!
those nice people at sacredtexts have (bafflingly) made bulwer-lytton's masterpiece vril - the power of the comming race available. bovril was named after it.

sacred texts is full of wonders, Piri Re'is map (1500s, turkish), blavatsky's secret doctrine next to roger bacon and the egyptian book of the dead. fabulous treasure.
