THURSDAY April 18th at 9pm: THE WALKER IN THE CEMETERY from Cthulhu's Reign

 

"After The Old Ones Return"
THE WALKER IN THE CEMETERY

***WARNING***
Fair warning dearies, tonight’s little story is on the horror side..
including a bit of gore… but more psychological horror. 
Think Ridley Scott, you know the Alien movies?
Ridley Scott meets Cthulhu… 
Or perhaps more Ellen Ripley meets Cthulhu. Hmmm?

There is no foul language, at least not any F-bombs for sure, but like Alien you may want to consider this an R-rating for sci-fi violence/gore. There is a read-along link if you want to, you know,  read-along… but caution!  I have edited the story way down from the original.. 
there is bad language in the read-along text.

Anyway… please consider yourself duly warned.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5th at 7pm: CELEBRATING SEUSS!

 

Stories return to the Library in March!

120 years ago this month, and unique creative mind was born. While the world has changed since the first days that the man we knew as Dr. Seuss first penned his whimsical tales, much of his canon of work is part of many of our young lives. Somehow the world would not quite be as bright a place if a mysterious cat might not knock on our doors unexpectedly, bringing excitement and danger to a boring day with the assurance, "Your Mother will not mind if you do!"

"A Ghost Hunt on Christmas Eve?"
A TWELFTH NIGHT GHOST STORY
When sensible and level-headed Beatrice Casson decides to spend Christmas in a hotel in the wilds of Scotland it was the “old fashioned Christmas” experience promised in the brochure that was the attraction. – The smell of pine trees, crackling log fires, mulled wine, tangerines, walnuts and frosted forest walks. What she had not noticed in the itinerary was the ghost-hunt planned for Christmas Eve. Bea didn’t believe in ghosts. So who was the pale young girl who visited her room during a power cut on the night she arrived? And how was it that suddenly Bea found herself helping a medium reunite a mother and daughter who had been roaming the hotel searching for each other for hundreds of years?

MONDAY, January 1st at The Dicken Project: Come Fly with Us!

 

Established in April 2017 the Hawks Aerobatic Team is the culmination of a pylon race pilot joining forces with a seasoned combat pilot to experiment with importing well known RL aerobatic maneuvers into SL.

The Hawks took their name from the BAe Hawk they chose as their plane due to its superb handling characteristics and stability.  After their first show as a 'solo team' the Hawks began recruiting and training pilots.  The Hawks currently fly a 6-plane routine that includes a number of well-known maneuvers from RL aerobatics as well as some of their own unique creations.  

The Hawks are joined in the air over Dickens Harbour by Anemone Wing Walkers, and Team Phoenix.

Teleport to the venue from the Welcome Area
