That there is no news to tell is the worst of the news to come. Even though you had been promised a working relationship, the details of what is expected of you and what you can expect to gain in return keep being delayed. No more promises or well-practiced handshakes. If they can’t produce a contract that lays everything out in full, then it’s time to walk. When you leave, you will be accused of being the problem and many will say good-riddance. Keep your silence until the outside matches the inside. Then look back and see what hindsight reveals. The lesson you learn this way should inform how to handle the next big thing that someone will claim was made just for you.


Each suit in the Bag of Bones playing card deck tells a visual story progressing from Ace to Ten. A heartwarming lamia, a persistent gardener, a spider’s sturdy web, and an absentminded gentleman make for quick stories. The court cards stand alone, but have individual tales for themselves. For those wishing something more pleasant, Artiphany has more gentle decks featuring dogs and kittens. The Bag of Bones Playing Cards are under exclusive copyright to ©Inky-Dinky 2008.
