When the luster of shimmering flowers is
- When the luster of shimmering flowers is answered by the roar of the sea from afar, the night crosses in stillness and without a sound.
- I look up to the lighthouse, and muffle my oars. The beacon shines a ruby red across the breakers. We smuggle by the Queen's command. My hands are caked with sea salt as we row.
- I can taste it in the air as the dingy bumps against the coast, wood scraping along the rocks that we would soon depart onto.
- As I gazed out upon the breaking waves, I was reminded of a time long ago, before he had been taken by the icy depths and we said our goodbyes on this same beach. The chill wind

- up with their ams folded. Their tiny fuzzy black hats were getting drenched in the rain. With all their hopping about I was afraid they'd slip on the deck--it must be slippery ther

- I carved a stone memorial to them, using BabelFish this time to translate to Russian. It read: ALAS BRAVE SAILOR COMRADES SALUTING YOU! LOST BUT FORGOTTEN IN OCEANS OF DEATH!

What do you suppose the two tiny Russians really wanted?

They were probably drunk and needed more vodka.
