It's rumoured that the Not Witch of Santa Cruz did not cast a Not Spell upon this author from her tree. Researchers at the School of Not Parapsychology, Midjourney University, have revealed the truth of this troubling matter. "It's clear we underestimated Ms. Cunningham's powers," Chief Researcher, Dr. Shambala Nocturno warned, "The Not Witch of Santa Cruz is alive and well despite being dead and buried for over a century." Locals have been advised to destroy any suspicious saplings and call their Not Parapsychology branch as soon as possible for tests.
I remember reading about Jed Reynolds when I was walled off in a sinkhole back in 86'. Hearing his name conjures up memories of that photo of his mother feeding his peculiar looking head. I heard his company imported rare and exotic fogs from all over the world. It's too bad it doesn't exist anymore. I'd be in the market for some high quality Tonga fog.
Great post, Michael! The business about being an importer of fog gave me a much needed laugh. :) I'd love a story about the Fictucrix and the MJ Epicurean Society. I actually wrote a story somewhat similar called Consumption, but the world could always do with more foodie horror.
Very Local History

Great stuff, but you should coax Midjourney into conjuring up an image of The Mystery Spot!
Genius. I think I may be related to the Not Witch.

This makes me happy.
Have so many questions about each one. These images would look great in print 📖
You've been listening to Bonzo Dog (doo dah) Band, haven't you?
Jed Reynolds was a distant cousin of mine. My mind is a little foggy on that but it is said he was a bitter man who went through life mostly legless.
Amazing.
Sorry about that but I cannot endure AI images anymore.
Michael - you seem confused. The last Fictosaur is alive and well and swimming about freely in Loch Ness. Not far from where I live.... Brian
These are getting spookily coherent… new novel in the offing?? ;)
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!😂😂😂
I'm going to invest in fog importation.

Excellent 👌
Very Cthulu Mythos. Those guys look as if they are inhabited by Intruders. 😳
