This #atavistic administration is a giant #bully. The #president and his enablers are the ones who should be on trial for their base and #regressive behavior. I look forward to every tooth of every gear of every bit of #dueprocess machinery squeezing everything out of these #thugs.

“If possible, of course, some bad luck could be produced for the victims or for their institution. Pranks, you know. But again, this is not necessary, and may even get in the way of our pure experiment in mind-fuck and image-manipulation. Let the bastards produce their own bad luck out of their inner sadness at being such evil assholes, out of their atavistic superstition (without which they wouldn’t be such media-wizards), out of their fear of otherness, out of their repressed sexuality. You can be sure they will – or at least, that they’ll remember the ‘curse’ every time something bad happens to them.”

After a drunk backpacker swore he'd seen a charcoal-black goat with horns ablaze, curious seekers descended on the village. Was it a demon? A genetically-engineered creature from the nearby research compound? Or something more #atavistic, a relic of the pagan underworld? More visitors glimpsed it, and the legend grew.

So did our village's tourism revenue. Even old nanny seems to enjoy the joke, frolicking over the dark moors with holiday lights wound about her horns.

The sun went down, and Bren did not return to the standing stones. Lyra huddled by the fire, hungry and lonely and on edge. The night kindled #atavistic fear deep in her bones; every sound beyond the fire’s light was a monster come to devour her. She prayed for dawn to come quickly.
Before Bren left, he’d tried to be kind to her, even though he thought her half-mad. He’d told her, patiently: “Calm yourself. The fire will keep away the ghosts.”

The first guardian of The Conqueror's corpse stared Kane down with pale, unblinking eyes. The goat's flaming horns stoked atavistic fear to demand attention, but Kane knew their true danger was their power to distract. Analyzing the rest of the beast, he heard a low buzzing from its teeth, the same as the stones around the Astral Rift; those would be the real danger to avoid. Dagger in hand, Kane lowered to a crouch and waited for his adversary to charge.
