Osiedle

Chodzę ze sztyletem wbitym między żebrami, ostrze utknęło. Pogodziłem się z nim, wiem że, nie uwolnię się od niego. Spaceruje po ciemnym mieście ze swoim przyjacielem zatopionym w mojej klatce, mroczne bloki spoglądają na mnie swoimi żółtymi ślepiami. Idąc bawię się rękojeścią, dociskam nóż głębiej, upewniam się, że nie wypadnie. Gram na rączce sztyletu jak na flecie, stukam go palcami, szukam najboleśniejszej nuty. Przechadzam się jakimś osiedlem, chłodna noc, chłodny asfalt, obojętność. Zamyślony uderzam się w latarnię, ta dopycha nóż głębiej, przeszywa mnie ogromny ból. Zaklinam swój los i przeklinam wszystkie latarnie, czuje jak opuszczają mnie siły. Siadam na ławeczce przy latarni, która zadała mi tyle bólu. Opadam na nią i zatapiam się w nią, czuje jak krew wycieka spod wbitego przedmiotu. Skórcze przebiegają moją klatkę, moją twarz, czuje że, chce mi się popłakać. Łzy nie ciekną, nigdy nie ciekły, myślę o bólu, znów gram melodię na rękojeści. Łzy znów nie lecą, czuje rezygnację, uderzam pięścią nóż tak aby wbić go jak najgłębiej. Nóż tnie głębiej, krew znów wypływa. Nagle czuje wstyd, czuje wzrok żółtych ślepi, wstaje z ławki, biegnę ulicami, szukam schronienia. Śliska nawierzchnia, zdradliwa, przewracam się, ostrze uderza w asfalt pierwsze, przenika mnie ogromny ból, krzyczę. Zdarte dłonie, skóra odpada z rąk i piszczeli, wstaje obolały. Łzy nie lecą, krew leci. Kuśtykam dalej ciemną ulicą, spoglądam na księżyc, łza kręci mi się w oku ale nie spada, zassana z powrotem, mimo największych starań by ją wypluć. Nie mogę uciec żółtym oczom, są wszędzie, ból. Dochodzę do mostu nad rzeczką, wciąż otoczony oczami podchodzę do jego krawędzi. Noga przechodzi przez barierkę, ręka podciąga się za drewnianą belkę, od upadku nie dzieli mnie już nic. Skaczę, świst wiatru, wiatr wdziera się w świeże rany. Uderzenie zimnej wody, myślałem że, umrę gdy tylko dotknę lustrzanej tafli, co za rozczarowanie. Teraz nie dość że, żywy to jeszcze mokry, prąd rzeki unosi mnie w nieznane, poddaje mu się. Chciałem umrzeć, czemu wciąż żyje, oczy wciąż patrzą, śmieją się z mojej porażki. Zamykam oczy i płynę, wszystko już jedno. Popłynę, pocierpię, może się wreszcie utopie.

from Gnostic Paradise

Understanding the two Marys, as Samael Aun Weor expounds in his book “The Perfect Matrimony – Chapter 13 The Two Marys”, is a pivotal step in your spiritual journey. Failure to do so renders you ignorant. The battlefield where the two Marys engage is sex. The path of sexuality you choose is a decision of immense significance. It can lead you to heavenly heights or plunge you into hellish depths. The mother you nourish and awaken is a choice that rests solely with you.

Saint Mary is Santa Maria in Spanish. Saint Mary is never the mother of Christ, our King, even if Saint Mary claims to be the mother of Jesus Christ. If Saint Mary says this, tell her that she lies.

Saint Mary is the perverse Mary that the Maleficos worship: the Abominable Mother Kundabuffer. The maleficos are sorcerers or practitioners of black magic. The maleficos are disciples who corrupt themselves against their innermost selves.

Saint Mary is the motherfornicator, the perverse mother of all types of fornication. She is Circe.

In the Odyssey, Circe is the enchantress who turns men into animals. Yes, people can turn into animals using the kundabuffer organ. It is evident, though, in Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio. When one deviates to the Land of Toys, he becomes a donkey through skipping school and work. School is for growth in knowledge; work is our diligence in the Great Work.

Saint Mary awakens through the coitus fornicatus of the warlock and the witch, who seek knowledge incorrectly. It is the coitus fornicatus which leads man and woman to fornicate through the coitus. It is also known as black tantra. It is she who fortified our own ego.

Saint Mary is the matrix of witchcraft, coitus fornicatus, and sorcery. She is the Queen of the maleficos. Saint Mary is the Maleficent, the corrupt, perverse fairy godmother who leads children into fornication and spiritual death. Look no further into the 1959 Disney film called Sleeping Beauty.

Saint Mary is the Queen of the Infernos and bitches. She carries the bitchdust, the dust of easy prostitution in which the sorceress gives power to. Now you know her bitchcraft. Naive and uninformed individuals are often easy to manipulate. She has all the powers of hell, the sexual perversion. She is the lowest of all women. In chess, Saint Mary is colored black.

Rest assured: Saint Mary will never hold power over you if you do not suffer her; only the Virgin Mary, the powerful mother, is to be revered and feared.

The Virgin Mary, the mother of Christ, our King, embodies purity and divinity. She is the antithesis of the corrupt Saint Mary, representing all that is pure and divine in the spiritual realm.

The Virgin Mary is the Virgin of Carmel, whom the Beneficos worship. The Beneficos are the white magicians or the magicians. The Beneficos are disciples who maintain their purity through their actions.

The Virgin Mary is the Divine Mother Kundalini awakened through the creation of the cross by man and woman through chastity. Chastity is the coitus reservatus of man and woman: the White Tantra. She also helps us destroy our own Egos through our own awareness and comprehension.

Therefore, the Virgin Mary is the source of magic, chastity, and the perfect matrimony. She is the Queen of the Beneficos, leading them to eternal salvation.

The Virgin Mary is the Queen of the Heavens. She has all the powers of heaven. She is the highest of all women. In chess, the pieces are colored white.

In closing, I give you the prayer of the Ave Maria to seek the guidance of our Divine Mother Kundalini:

In Latin:

Ave Maria;

gratia plena;

dominus tecum;

Benedicta tu in mulieribus;

et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus;

Virginis Maria Mater Dei;

Ora pro nobis cum peccatoribus ego;

nunc, et in hora mortis vitium nostrae;

Sela fiat.

In English:

Hail Mary, full of grace, our Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Iesus (Yeshua, Jesus); Virgin Mary, Mother of God, pray for us with the sinning ego, now and at the death of our vices; amen.

How do I make the voices stop?

“The Peace of Wild Things When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

Wendell Berry

from the ultimate question

Have you ever felt that your life is miserable because of other people?

Your boss, your parents, the traffic, the pollution, the corruption, God.. yes? Everyone else but you?

It's a very comfortable place to be when we blame others for our troubles.

It takes courage to look in the mirror and acknowledge that you are the one who is actually at fault.

You are the one who tolerated other people's shit, their injustice, their mistakes.

You are the one who didn't say No when it was necessary to be said.

Yes, that was your mistake – not speaking up or taking action at the right time.

And you are the only one who can dig yourself out of the hole you dug yourself into.

How?

Acknowledge that you have a problem.

Acknowledge that you need help.

Now get out there and get the help you need.

It takes courage to ask for help. And there is no shame in that.

There is no shame in being vulnerable, or being weak or being unable to get yourself out of a particular situation.

There is no shame in correcting your past mistakes, apologizing to the people that you hurt in the past, in mending bridges that you burnt.

Living in denial as you suffer through life while you blame everyone else for your misery is worse.

Give yourself a real chance.

Trust me, you got this!

from Dzudzuana/Satsurblia/Iranic Pride

Die gängige Klassifizierung des Kurdischen als „indoeuropäische Sprache“ ist ein linguistisches Konstrukt, das mehr über westliche Kategorisierungslogik aussagt als über die tatsächliche Herkunft der kurdischen Sprache und Kultur. Während Kurdisch heute formal zur iranischen Untergruppe der indoeuropäischen Familie gezählt wird, sprechen genetische, archäologische und strukturelle Hinweise dafür, dass diese Einordnung nur eine oberflächliche sprachliche Schicht beschreibt — nicht jedoch den Ursprung oder das Wesen der kurdischen Sprache selbst.

-—

1. Der geographische und kulturelle Ursprung des Kurdischen

Kurdistan liegt im Herzen des alten Zagros- und Taurusgebirges — eine Region, die seit der Frühgeschichte eine der zentralen Wiegen der Zivilisation war. Hier entwickelten sich frühe Staaten wie die der Gutier, Lullubi, Hurrier und Mannäer, lange bevor irgendeine indoeuropäische Sprache existierte.

Diese Völker sprachen agglutinierende, nicht-indoeuropäische Sprachen, die teilweise mit der hurro-urartäischen Sprachfamilie verwandt waren. Sie bildeten das kulturelle, genetische und territoriale Fundament, auf dem sich später das kurdische Volk entwickelte.

Dass das moderne Kurdisch Strukturen und Vokabular iranischer Prägung aufweist, erklärt sich daher aus späteren Kontakten mit iranischsprachigen Gruppen, die sich im 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr. in diese Region ausbreiteten. Doch diese Überlagerung war linguistisch, nicht ethnisch. Die Bevölkerung selbst blieb im Kern autochthon — Nachfahren der Zagros- und Hurrit-Kulturen.

-—

2. Sprachliche Schichten: Ein indoeuropäischer Anstrich auf nicht-indoeuropäischem Fundament

Vergleicht man das Kurdische mit klassischen iranischen Sprachen wie Altpersisch oder Avestisch, zeigen sich markante Abweichungen.

– Die Lautstruktur ist weicher, teilweise vokalreicher und erinnert an prä-iranische, hurritische Muster.

– Viele Wörter des Alltagsgebrauchs (z. B. für Natur, Familie, Körper, Tiere) haben keine echten indoeuropäischen Etymologien, sondern lassen sich auf lokale, altmesopotamische oder sogar kaukasische Wurzeln zurückführen.

– Auch die Syntax (Satzstruktur) zeigt Einflüsse, die mit den agglutinierenden Sprachen Nordmesopotamiens übereinstimmen.

Diese Merkmale deuten darauf hin, dass die indoeuropäische Schicht des Kurdischen ein später Import ist – vergleichbar mit einem Überzug, der die ursprüngliche Struktur überlagert, aber nicht ersetzt hat.

-—

3. Genetik und Archäologie stützen die Eigenständigkeit

Die genetische Zusammensetzung kurdischer Populationen weist eine starke Kontinuität zu bronzezeitlichen und eisenzeitlichen Gruppen wie den Mannäern, Gutiern und Hurriern auf.

Diese Völker existierten lange vor dem Auftreten indo-iranischer Gruppen in der Region.

Funde aus Hasanlu, Dinkha Tepe, und Teppe Rabat zeigen kulturelle und rituelle Kontinuitäten, die sich nicht mit den nordöstlichen Wanderungsbewegungen der Steppe erklären lassen.

Es ist daher irreführend, Kurdisch „indoeuropäisch“ zu nennen, nur weil spätere Sprachkontakte indoeuropäische Elemente hinterließen.

Die Bevölkerung und ihr kulturelles Gedächtnis sind wesentlich älter und eigenständiger.

-—

4. Das Kurdische als Brückensprache des alten Vorderen Orients

Das Kurdische ist nicht einfach „eine iranische Sprache“, sondern ein Hybrid mit lokaler Dominanz. Es vereint alte Zagros-Wurzeln mit Einflüssen aus Elam, Hurri, Aramäisch, Iranisch und sogar Kaukasisch.

Diese Vermischung spiegelt die geographische Realität Kurdistans wider:

eine Übergangszone, in der sich Kulturen begegneten, verschmolzen und doch eine eigene Identität bewahrten.

Die Sprache überdauerte Jahrtausende als Trägerin einer eigenständigen Denkweise, nicht als Ableger einer Steppe-Kultur. Sie ist damit ein lebendiges Zeugnis des alten mesopotamisch-kurdistanischen Erbes.

-—

5. Fazit

Kurdisch mag in heutigen Klassifikationen „indoeuropäisch“ heißen, doch das ist nur die äußere Form.

Inhaltlich, kulturell und historisch steht es auf einem Fundament, das viel älter ist — einem Fundament, das aus dem Herzen Mesopotamiens und des Zagros stammt.

Das Kurdische ist somit eine indigene Sprache Vorderasiens, die lediglich eine indoeuropäische Oberfläche angenommen hat, während ihr inneres Wesen und ihre tiefsten Wurzeln nicht-indoeuropäisch geblieben sind.

from An Open Letter

I hit diamond in all roles today, and I felt like I couldn’t tell others about it. So I played guitar for the first time in a while and just blasted that shit until I felt better. I’m overwhelmed today, and I feel sad because I work 9-5, work out or do hobbies, and then it’s 8 pm by the time I get to relax. And I miss being able to just spend time with people like I could in college. I miss a lot of stuff, and I’m holding nostalgia with caution.

from That Migraine Guy

abstract painting: pain

Hi. I'm ThatMigraineGuy. I suffer from disabling chronic migraine disease, and this is my first blog post.

Here I want to share a bit about myself and why I am writing this blog.

It's like this. Back in 2018, my job as a software engineer brought me some rewarding challenges. From the project's office at a university in upstate New York, I led a team of software developers from India and The Philippines. Visiting these places, as well as France, for extended team gatherings, made for some great adventures. I enjoyed the travel and loved the people.

But, with great privileges come great responsibilities. And great responsibilities bring a great deal of stress.

One day, I walked in the door from work to an odd experience. Standing in my kitchen, it suddenly felt as though the space around me was imploding into a single point at the center of my brain. It was as if an electrical generator had taken up residence in there and was spewing energy waves. The objects surrounding me twisted into odd proportions. A great anxiety overtook me. An indescribable feeling of weirdness arose, as if I had traveled to a distant planet. The foreignness of it all took hold of my senses. Some of these feelings persisted continuously for over six months and then slowly subsided.

I now know that migraine disease explains all of these symptoms handily:

  • The imploding sensation? Although pain in the head (dull, throbbing, unbearable, sometimes on side) is common, migraine symptoms present in many puzzling ways, sometimes with no “pain” at all, but in uncomfortable and strange sensations;

  • The odd proportions of the objects around me? Alice in Wonderland syndrome, in which objects appear to be bigger or smaller in proportion to the way they usually look;

  • The anxiety? Mood changes —– anxiety, depression, and euphoria —– can accompany a migraine attack (I could do with more of the euphoria, but it is sadly more rare than the others);

  • Feeling of foreignness? A manifestation of dissociation, also a feature of migraine for some;

  • The length of the experience? Many migraineurs have episodic attacks, where there are a clear beginning and end to each attack; but there is also a state known as status migrainosus: a migraine lasting for seventy-two hours or more.

This vignette shows one slice among many of a long history of migraine disease in my life, beginning at age 20. I have many instructive details to tell about these slices.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

In the current time slice, migraine disease has put me on disability from work for the better part of the last twelve months. My current symptoms overlap with but have evolved a lot from the ones from 2018. My hope, which medical professionals and other members of the chronic migraine community affirm to be realistic, is that the right mix of medication, brain retraining, and lifestyle changes will give me enough control over my symptoms to return to work.

I aspire in this blog to share my journey through migraine disease. You'll learn about migraine disease treatments and brain science, as well as about the frustrations, emotions, and psychological booby traps of this life.

In these pages you will also get to know to some of the most resilient, supportive, and caring advocates in the chronic migraine community. Without them I would not have learned nearly as much as I have about migraine disease, and would have struggled a good deal more to avoid falling into despair.

Standing on the shoulders of these giants, I hope to share information and experiences that might help others —– to pay it forward.

So stay tuned —– it's gonna be a wild ride!

from Telmina's notes

昨日あたりから、来月からの仕事探しをしようとしております。

 主に、中抜け期間を除外しても10年以上の付き合いのある営業会社から仕事を請けるつもりですが、こちらについては完全に営業会社任せとなっており、こちらが能動的に何かアクションを起こすということは、せいぜいスキルシートの更新ぐらいしかありません。

 しかし、昨年8月の無収入期間中になかなかいい仕事が見つからず、無収入期間をさらに1ヶ月延ばす羽目になってしまったことを受けて、別ルート経由でも仕事を探すことにしました。

 その別ルートから送られてくる案件のうち、私でも務まりそうなものを探しているのですが、なかなかこれはというものが見つかりません。

 それどころか、放っておいても身につくようなものでなく、しかも一度ドロップアウトしたらまずキャッチアップできないようなスキルを求めてくる案件が多すぎます。

 自分なんて、最初に入った三流開発会社では1年持たず、その後一旦IT業界から抜けたものの出戻りしたところがいわゆるブラック会社で上司との折り合いも非常に悪く、キャリア形成など考えることすらできない状況で社会人として最も重要な時期を無駄に過ごしてしまったため、リーマンショックを口実にサラリーマン時代最後の会社から去って個人事業主になってからは、順調に出世できた人からは考えられないような道を歩んでいます。

 中には、そこで巡り会った仕事の中でもこれまで自分の経験の浅かった分野に敢えてチャレンジさせてくれるようなところもありますが、そういうところはまだいいほうで、大抵の現場にはそんなことをさせている余裕などありません。

 これはIT業界に限った話ではないのでしょうけど、前々から、日本企業はキャリア形成に消極的と言われており、私などはまさにその犠牲者です。

 昨日、分散型SNS「Mastodon」のタイムラインを眺めていたところ、とある興味深い投稿が目に入ってきました。

 この投稿をされた方は私とはフォロー関係になく、投稿は別のフォロワーさんのブースト(他SNSのリポストに相当)で流れてきたものですが、まさに今の自分に刺さる内容でした。

 ここに、日本の人材育成の駄目っぷりが凝縮されています。

 そもそもキャリアは雑草みたいに放っておいても形成されるものではありませんし、よそに丸投げして良いようなものでもありません。特に私のようにドロップアウトした人間に対しては救済措置なんてないに等しいです。

best quality, realistic, RAW photo, high angle shot, extremely detailed, a tall ((Japanese)) large breasts wide-hipped short bobbed haired intelligent beautiful girl regretting and feeling sad at a barren land without any grass, cool beauty, wearing ((dark green headband)), ((dark green tanktops with a large open chest area)) tucked in ((white tight silky hotpants)), ((white knee boots)).

 自分は20代後半の頃、たまたま当時の所属会社の外部でJava言語の学習に専念する機会があったため、今でこそJava技術者を名乗っていますが、そうでなかったらとっくの昔に詰んでいました。それどころか、その外部組織も別に慈善事業などではなく商流に組み込まれている組織のひとつであったため、しばらくは自分はその会社の仕事をさせられ、そのたびに苦汁を嘗めさせられていました。

 そのように、自社で従業員のキャリア形成をせず、それでいてハイスペックな人材を求めるという、いわば無い物ねだりが横行した結果が、今の日本の衰退に繋がっているのではないでしょうか?

 こういうときだからこそ、各職場とも、ちゃんとキャリア形成を考えてほしいところです。無い物ねだりしたって無理なものは無理なのですから、無い物ねだりせずとも済む状況を作ってほしいのです。そのほうが、私のようにドロップアウトする人間は減るはずです。また、適性のない人に無理矢理仕事を割り振る必要も無くなるはずです…。

from Mitchell Report

I’ve made more progress on my blog poster program. I’m doing a few minor changes and adding new features before moving on to another service/platform. The images haven’t changed since my last post, so there are no new ones this time.

I added a Kudos button to my Write.as custom domain, michaelmitchell.blog. It’s powered by Tinylytics. I’ll probably be adding more features soon and doing some digital gardening along the way.

I also updated my Personal Events social media poster project. Screenshot of a social media management interface titled "Create New Post" with fields for entering a message, selecting emojis, and tagging. The interface shows character limits for different platforms like Mastodon, Sharkey, Bluesky, and Nostr. Below, there are options for AI writing tools and image uploads, along with toggles for selecting which platforms to post on, indicating connection statuses for Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr, and Sharkey.

Streamline your social media management with a versatile platform that allows simultaneous posting across multiple networks.

I hope to finish all the refinements and additions by the end of February. I’m taking it slow and thoroughly testing each connection to make sure every post, no matter the content, looks consistent across all platforms. Someday, I know I’ll settle on just one platform. But for now, I’m enjoying the process.

from Shad0w's Goon Stories

Chapter 12

Their House. They Gooned

#nsfw #claire

Each part of that ‘computer’ was auctioned off to the lowest bidder. Desk included. Claire and Nadia were wise to not have any part of that machine remain in tact given the circumstances.

Nadia no longer wanted to goon alone. Claire always welcomed her. The nightly routine of seeing each other became just as important as gooning as itself. Over time, they both decided to buy a house together and built each room as they saw fit. Every room had a screen playing porn. Windows were blacked out. Neon lights were placed everywhere, and high end speakers were always playing classical music and porn. This was their home. This was their truth. Their perversion was everything. Nadia perched on the edge of their shared king-size bed, her bare feet swinging idly between silken sheets. Nadia kept her promise. She still remained nude as much as possible for porn and Claire.

Every now and then, Nadia would catch Claire’s eye – those eyes that had once held a hint of something guarded, something almost professional, now sparkled with unadulterated desire, mirroring Nadia's own.

“You think it worked its magic” Nadia asked, tracing patterns on the duvet with her nail. Claire chuckled, a low rumble in her chest that resonated through Nadia’s core. “Completely,” she said, tossing the box onto a stack of others beside their overflowing recycling bin.

“Remember when you couldn't look at me without blushing? Now?” She crossed the room in a few long strides, kneeling before Nadia and capturing her lips in a kiss that tasted of freedom and shared fantasies.

“Now,” Nadia breathed into the kiss, “I can barely think straight when you’re near.”

Claire pulled back slightly, thumb stroking Nadia’s lower lip. “Good,” she murmured. “Because we have work to do.” She winked, a playful glint in her eyes that sent shivers down Nadia's spine. Work indeed.

Their days no longer followed the rigid structure of deadlines and responsibilities. They were free now, tethered only by their mutual obsession. Porn and masturbation were the very fabric of their existence. The house throbbed with the low pulse of an endless stream of porn – multiple screens scattered throughout each room, casting a perpetual glow on their bare limbs.

They had discovered new levels of pleasure together. Every goon session revealed new ways to explore their bodies and desires. Claire’s masterful curation fueled their digital erotic world. Nadia had never been one for spontaneity before; now she reveled in Claire's playful suggestions, each whispered prompt a delicious invitation into unknown territories.

One afternoon, perched on the edge of the bathtub, Nadia traced lazy circles on Claire’s back as they both watched a wonderfully pornographic scene unfold. A wave of heat pulsed through her, and she couldn’t help but laugh, the sound bubbling up from deep within her chest.

“Remember when I thought this was all so weird?” she asked, tilting her head to press another kiss against Claire's shoulder blade. Claire laughed too, a husky rumble that resonated against Nadia’s cheek. “Who knew porn addiction could feel so damn good?” She leaned back into Nadia's touch, closing her eyes and savoring the feeling of contentment that had become as familiar and comforting as breathing.

Their lives weren't perfect – their days were sometimes punctuated by the sharp sting of withdrawal when a particularly captivating scene ended, leaving them craving more. They still bickered over whose turn it was to choose the right video, and there were nights when the constant bombardment of images left them both feeling oddly disconnected from the physical world. But the knew their world of porn was better than “their” world without porn.

But those moments were fleeting. Because the truth was, they had found each other in the space between reality and fantasy, two souls who’d learned to embrace the sheer exquisite beauty of their shared obsession. In their haven of screens and silken sheets, where the line blurred between the tangible and the virtual, Nadia and Claire knew they’d finally come home. They were lifestyle goonettes now, through and through – and they wouldn't have it any other way. -End

from Roscoe's Quick Notes

We remember from last week that we left Dorothy and her friends, and Princess Ozma and her crew, all tying to rescue the rightful Queen of Ev and her ten children. The Queen and her children were being held captive by the Nome King. Dorothy and Ozma were successful. And all returned to Ev where a huge celebration was held. The Queen told her rescuers they were welcome to stay in her land as honored guests. But Ozma said she needed to return to Oz to rule over her people. And Dorothy wanted to get back to her Uncle Henry in Australia and help nurse him back to health. So Ozma used her newly acquired magic belt and transported Dorothy to Uncle Henry's side.

And so ended Book 3 of 14, Ozma of Oz.

Now we find ourselves in Book 4, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz.

Uncle Henry's health and disposition improved greatly when Dorothy returned to him. He decided he was well enough to return to his ranch in Kansas. He and Dorothy had a pleasant voyage back to America, and he went straight back to Kansas while Dorothy stayed a short while, visiting family in California. Her visit over, Dorothy and her pet cat, Eureka, and her cousin Zeb, were riding in a buggy pulled by an old horse named Jim. Then a big earthquake came.

Dorothy and her friends were swallowed up by a big crack in the ground. They fell, and fell, and finally landed in a glass city. Many of the buildings there, all made of glass, were damaged by rocks which rained down as a result of the earthquake above. A second “rock rain” followed shortly, caused by another quake above. And with this second, another buggy came down. A little man stepped out of this buggy and Dorothy happily recognized him as her old friend, the Wizard of Oz.

The Mangaboos, the vegetable people of the glass city, were not all happy with these new arrivals and chased them out of their land. They escaped into a big cave in the side of a mountain and wandered through other strange lands and had many adventures including fighting off an attack by Invisible Bears, and escaping from vicious wooden Gargoyles who captured them. Now they find themselves in a huge cave nervously surrounded by hungry young dragons who are waiting for their mother to return with food for them. They're hoping for an elephant, or maybe an ox...

And the adventure continues.
