Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!

No Refunds

"Okay, this is just not working out," says Sally, the older of the Beverly girls.

Timnur the faun panics, "No! You can't leave! You haven't defeated the Evil-Allegory-Witch yet, or the Heathen-Allegory-Heathens!"

"We're sorry, Timnur," Paul, the oldest, says, "but Smarnia just isn't all that much fun. Sure, you might be trying to instill us with religious values, but this place just feels like a pale imitation of secular fantasy worlds."

The Beverly children leave.

Deity-Allegory-Lion stops them, "Sorry. So sorry, children. You can't leave."

"Why not?" asks Edwin.

"You're all dead," Deity-Allegory-Lion says, "Quite a bit of tough luck, chaps."
