I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Susan has probably run off to join the circus by this point anyway.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A guy I taught with was leaving a bar with a friend and some drunk guy bumped into them, threw one punch at the friend andknocked him down. His skull shattered when he hit the sidewalk and he died instantly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can the horse fall into (or get caught by) a trap, set by a trapper? Then it stumbles?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Those are really easy to get, though, for the record.

Oh, I'm sure. But, when you are picked up and thrown by the force of a nearby explosion, isn't it just as likely that you end up with, like, broken fingers and a chin-scrape and burned ears? A separated shoulder from landing funny? Random bizarro bruises all over from whatever you happen to clooide with while in air?

But always, they go for the artistic eyebrow-cut.

There is some kind of plastic-surgery conspiracy going on.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Well, if you are going to bring the circus into it... you have the whole falling off the trapezze or being squashed by an elephant option t even less helpful

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Ooh! The elephant could fall off the trapeze! And squash whoever is walking by, unsuspecting!

It is like the Flitcraft incident all over again!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But always, they go for the artistic eyebrow-cut.

Well, I think the simplicity in assumption is that you always get one of these.

The other easy stuff no one gets (ripped nostrils=less easy) is a fat lip. Those are fucking trivial to obtain, yet a lot harder to create with the magic of makeup (as are ripped nostrils, I'd wager).

Can the horse stumble on some rocks and break its leg?

As fragile as horses can be, low speed dramatic fractures such as would cause a spill are also unlikely.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

A FoaF (admittedly not an experienced rider) took a low speed fall and landed on his face. The fall fractured his cheekbones and caused his sinus cavities to fill with blood. I could see how that could lead to some pretty serious breathing difficulty if treatment isn't readily available.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Gorgeous found photographs -- developed film from vintage cameras:

The pages below show prints I made from processing film I found in old cameras. In many cases the exposed films were over fifty years old. You are seeing them for the first time as they were lost by the photographers that took these images.
