You know I’m one to - usually - proceed in an orderly manner. So I listened to you read from Wandering Words. That was delightful. Before I hiked back to this post I was dumbfounded! Once your reading ended, the voice of a different woman began reading another chapter from WW! The effect was like that of a warp in the Time-Space Continuum. 😳 My oldie iPhone has become glitchy with recent OS updates. To my knowledge, at least that updating hasn’t begun impersonating others! That I know of. AI perhaps???

I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you offered up author sidebar comments, which allowed me to decode the title of today’s LoveLetter. Perhaps an invitation to readers to do more than scratch the surface. 🐓 😉

You would be correct to guess that I searched both authors. I was unfamiliar with Frank Darabont’s work. His comment on cave art was 🎯.

While the name “Orson” rang a bell, my brain kept saying, “H.G.” for whatever reason. What struck me was that Orson’s reading of H.G. Welles’ “War of the Worlds,” not a movie, so moved the world. Indeed, Orson did enjoy a noteworthy career in films. Not bad for a lad from Kenosha. 😐

As has become my custom, you write up, I wake up, and receive a powerful dose of brain stimulants! Can’t thank you enough. 🙏🏽

Well that's a mystery I don't have any clues for... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe I have WW reading doppelgänger?

Thank you for your appreciation Gary!

Note: I had to go back and give a listen again. The mystery female voice never appeared again, but each new try found you reading another chapter of WW!

You knew I read them over on BFN, yes?

You left comments?

Now I’m wondering if I’ve fallen into Wonderland or the Twilight Zone. 🤔

I well remember. For a while I think you read from BFN on weekends? I can only guess that migrating past works to SubStack could have tricked some electrons?🙃 The voice of an unrecognized female reading another BFN work is... a... a... an example of quantum physics! 😊

🤔 I’ll take your word for it!
