Here is another Snicket writing #7 The Vile Village and more clues on V.F.D. and a lot of strange and mean rules that everyone in this crow invested village has to live with day to day. The Baudelaire's do meet one nice person who actually likes these three children in this part of their story. In a very short scene you, the reader, will kind of meet a relation to the author himself. 'The Vile Village' is one part of their journey you do not want to miss for there are a few happy moments for these three kids here.

Rainy Saturday morning
What to do on a rainy, wet Saturday morning? You think to yourself and you begin to wonder about this little dilemma. You cared for your dog and did a few little chores. You get an idea, and you begin to write and write and write. Then, it strikes you do you start a new idea with some note, or do you continue your typing the book you finished writing for I am an old-fashioned writer that writes everything in a notebook first and I am a laborious typist. Well, I better start typing for this drabble is at end.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Fear of a Black Hat
Fear of a Black Hat, a Rusty Cundieff film, is one of my all-time favorite movies when I need to laugh. We’re talking Kentucky-Fried Movie territory. You want the uncut version, otherwise you don’t get the Ice Froggy Frog video (below) at the beginning or the discussion about artistic integrity in Cleveland. I own the cut version (😥)—couldn’t find the uncut version at that time, no extra money for it right now, but you aren’t me, so buy the uncut version.

I really enjoyed the way you brought The Vile Village to life! The detail you put into describing the eerie setting and its inhabitants made the place feel tangible—almost like it could exist just around the corner. The atmosphere was thick with suspense, and I loved how it gradually built up throughout the story. It’s impressive how you wove in social commentary, too, adding a layer of meaning to the narrative. Excellent work!
