Thanks and a Tumblr Hiatus

Hi folks!

As some of you may know, I just got done wrapping up a three-day stint of awesome and embarrassing regression play, guided by input from my awesome Patreon patrons. It was super fun, and I hope that those who hopped on board during the event found it enjoyable as well!

While I’m at it, I also should say that, due to personal and work commitments, I unfortunately will not be posting on Tumblr for most of the month of June. Sorry to those who would like more captions – I’ll try to make it up to you!

BTW, if you really want more of my work, never fear – I’ve worked ahead for my Patreon peeps, and there’s now an entire month’s worth of commissioned and original stories queued for release there throughout all of June.

Laters!

The Secret Life of Walter Bitty – Patreon Teaser

With of course all due acknowledgments to James Thurber and his magnificent short story, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”!

“You can’t be serious, sir!” The copilot’s voice cracked in ill-concealed fright, his eyes flitting in panic from the rows of glistening gauges before him to the handsome face of his companion. “Oh, but I am,” that man murmured, his cool gaze never for a moment swerving from the sight of the jagged terrain rushing sickeningly up to meet them. “Serious as always, Beckert. Watch and learn – and for God’s sake quit your idiotic bleating if that’s all you can do.”

“But- but we’ll never make it-” “Shut it,” the pilot, his grey eyes calmly regarding the windmilling altimeter before him. “Now, given the weight of our cargo, and given that the rate of deceleration is-” “We’re going to crash!” wailed his terror-stricken copilot into the PA system. “We’re all- we’re doomed! There’s no way we can pull up before impact-” And now in their ears came the thrumming bbbvbbvbvbvbb of the straining engines, screaming wildly as they struggled against the inexorable force of their crazy descent. Under the steely control of Captain Bitty they thrashed at the rushing air, against incredible odds somehow managing to slow the careening airliner’s wild trajectory…

…"Here comes the airplane, honey! Bbbvbbvbvbvbb…Open wide for a yummy yummy in your tummy tummy!“

Walter blinked – and opened mechanically once again. Into his open, squash-stained mouth the loaded spoon sank, accompanied by the musical coos and laughter of the woman beside him. "Mmmm!” she squealed softly in mock enthusiasm. “Isn’t that yummy? What a good baby you are!” She scooped another hefty load of the orange goop onto the rubbery spoon and raised it once more to the level of her messy-faced husband’s silent gaze. “Now, only seven more spoonfuls, okay? You gotta eat all your food if you want to grow up big and strong!”

He sighed and shifted in his oversized highchair with an audible squish – before opening once more amid the excited buzzing sound of the airplane-spoon. Whatever. Mommy wasn’t going to let him go until he’d finished everything, same as always. Though maybe if he was lucky and extra-good, maybe she’d give him a bottle full of strawberry milk before bedtime. His eyes slid closed as he gulped and felt stray dribbles of pureed squash drip down from his chin to his bib. No matter. Gulp and open and gulp and open. That was the way of things nowadays…
