Dreaming of Versailles
For no particular reason I was thinking about the Missoura habit of duplicating city names from elsewhere and mispronouncing them. Decided to see what Versailles (rhymes with Bails) looks like.
Googlemaps immediately gifted:
Then this tiny Victorian cottage with a TV mast overtaken by flowers:
Then this pair of roads branching apart but not really branching. Like a boulevard but not.
And what's that to the left? Yup, an old tornado siren complete with old CD logo.
I've never been anywhere near Versailles, but I know the place. It rings all sorts of dream-bells. Not too surprising.... 3 of my grandparents were born in Missoura, and there's evidence that epigenes are shaped by places.
Later thought: A good writer could roll those four pictures into a positive post-apocalyptic story.
