Coming soon to this space... The Touched...
What is The Touched?
The Touched is a collection of writings from a collection of people who just might be the voice of our generation. Then again, they might not be, also. We will feature all sorts of writings, from poetry, to philosophy, to bullshit, to people shooting the shit, and to people talking about what happens when the shit hits the fan. We may post fiction. We may post about our lives. We may bicker with one another. There may be drama. There may be suspense. There may be entertainment. There may be humor. There may be sorrow. There may the kind of experience that changes your life forever. There may be ruthless effeciency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope... er, wait, that's the Spanish Inquisition. Regardless, there will be all sorts of interesting stuff you won't be able to live without, so get used to coming here all the time.
Who are The Touched?
Unfortunately, their names cannot yet be revealed. We cannot hint at their identities or even at their very backgrounds, but we can say they are some of the most fascinating people you're likely to ever meet. And they're all excellent writers. So there.
Why "The Touched"?
In old days, the term "touched" was used to refer to someone who was consider insane or unstable. It was a shortened version of the phrase "touched by God" in which people thought that God would inspire madness in those who got too close God's presence. People such as Joan of Arc and Napoleon were both called "touched" by several people, but then again, they were French, so who really cares about them, right? It's interesting to trace the history of the way people refer to insanity. In fact, the most prevalent term used to be "lunacy" because it was believed the moon, or Luna, could alter people's moods to such dire straits that they would go insane. Cool, huh? Besides, it just sounds nifty and the doman name wasn't taken...
When does it all start?
Sooner than you think, dear friend, sooner than you think...
Scottish friction... Scottish fiction...
