    The Sixth Line of Defense

      Shiva Winters
     The Sixth Line of Defense

So you've created the perfect weapon, you've trained it be the ultimate killing machine, and sharpened it until it is peerless in motion and flawless in action. However it's not yet yours to command, so you plot and you scheme to make it yours alone. On the eve of success when your long laid plans are about to be realized, your weapon does the unthinkable, it falls in love. What do you do now?What really makes one human, is it a fact of birth, the right of passage that is growing up, is it societies' influence on young impressionable minds, or is it something else? Is Humanity and all that goes with it in fact programmed into our DNA?These are questions that have plagued Shiva all her life. For most people, for Normal people, these are questions with easy answers, after all they were born human, raised human, and have always been 'Human'. But Shiva is not 'Normal', she might not in fact be 'Human'. She is or perhaps was a Weapon, she was created as a weapon, trained to be a weapon, and she sees the world as a weapon. But all that changes one day when she meets a girl and for the very first time, she feels something that defies all logic and all reason. Can a weapon fall in love, or this something reserved only for those who are humans?But there are those in her world who have never doubted these answers, to them she is a powerful tool created for a war not yet fought, and they cannot allow that tool to slip from their grasp. So from the shadows they strike at the very thing that threatens to take that weapon from their grasp, that person who might be the key to unlocking the heart within the weapon.

    The Quantum Theologist

      Simon Stanton
     The Quantum Theologist

In a world similar to our own, yet strikingly different, two journalists meet in the congregation at the Central Research Cathedral. They're there to report on the latest, and greatest experiment in Religious Physics. As the two old sparring partners watch, the Quantum Theologist enters the room, ready to answer the greatest question ever. What happens next isn't quite what anyone was expecting.I don't very often say this, but I REALLY liked this outfit. One of my recent makes (I've finished four dresses in the last five days, I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment), I love the bright cheerful colours of this dinosaur fabric, which I bought at the Sewing for Pleasure show. I've now made dresses from all three of the fabrics I bought when I was there. Mostly because I have quite the fabric wishlist at the moment, but have promised myself I won't order any until I've used what I have. I'm getting there and I'm still feeling inspired, which I'm glad about.I wore the dinosaur dress with these flat Irregular Choice shoes, for Day 23 of my #irregularchoicechallenge. It really is beginning to amaze me just how many pairs I'd forgotten I owned. These ones have probably been worn once, if that, after receiving them as a gift a good number of years ago. I liked that the colours matched that of the print of the dress and this bright hair bow I came across recently when I was clearing out the bathroom cabinet. I had a lovely, if rather full (quelle horreur) weekend. A Friday evening of sewing, Saturday morning catching up on errands and with friends and family for coffees and sandwiches, then an AGM meeting in the afternoon before a cosy night in with the returned traveller. Sunday saw another dress made in the early morning and then a rainy wander around a local National Trust property followed by a leisurely pub dinner, before a trip to the theatre to watch my friend in a dance show. I was ready to fall asleep in front of CSI by yesterday evening (it happened, but I'm sure Horatio saved the day as usual!). https://dinoprincesschar.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/id-rather-be-in-tuscany.html
