Things Seen

[bunn]

An older woman, her face surrounded by a dramatic grey curly bush of wild hair, wearing a smart dark red velvet trouser suit with a tailored jacket,  stomping enthusiastically on top of a fiercely-smoking bonfire.

I hope she's not going to have to try to get the smoke out of the velvet later.   But it was such an odd thing to wear for the task, I am guessing there is some special significance to it.  Perhaps she will take off the velvet suit, once all the other things are burned, and ritually burn that too.

I wondered if it was a post-divorce Burning. She had a very stern air about her.

I wish I'd looked at her feet now and noted her shoes! I was so transfixed by the velvet suit that I didn't notice them.

A stern air doesn't rule out a determined Banishing By Stomping of a Dread Dark Lord who is trying to infiltrate our world, though. I'm now imagining her as an stern ex headteacher, telling the Dark Lord that he's been a very naughty boy.

Your LJ little person icon has horns! :-O Have you always been a sinister horned one without me noticing, or have you only recently grown horns?

By the way, the lone boot has arrived.

Always with the Dark Lords!

I purchased the horns recently, being taken by a whim.

So I observe :-D

I vote for post-divorce burning! Although that always seemed so wasteful to me. I rather clean out the cheater's closet and take it all to a thrift shop or a charity store.

That would probably be less stinky too, but perhaps less satisfying.

But far, far away from me, for the health of the new wearer.
