The Birth of Luna Bloomsday

Amid the cascade of shooting stars of mid-November's Leonid Meteor Shower descended upon earth, as if hung by the stork on the crescent moon above, a feisty pup.

A Scorpio, whatever that means.

Her full name, according to court filings that would later question the legitimacy of her birth, was Luna Vaclav Bloomsday.  There was dispute about the middle name.  A second birth document recovered listed a different one: Vitus.  At any rate, those who knew her parents well knew well that this was a Prague baby.

Molly's sip from the Cup of the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant left her spent but grateful.  Luna, was, indeed a celestial phenomenon.  [An aside: Hey, what about "Celeste"?]  She spend her days sleeping and dreaming and eating and squirting and crying and stretching and doing all the things an embryonic Buddy Hackett would do. [An aside: Hey, what about "Buddy"?]  Molly, Ulysses and Amonymous would each comment when all four where in the same room: "Hey, we're all four in the same room!"  Amonymous, himself just a swaddled underweight three years back, now holds Luna.  They sniff each other as all feisty pups do.  The television is on.  A digitally remastered episode of The Electric Company begins with Rita Moreno's cry: Hey, you guys!"  [An aside: Hey, what about "Naiomi"?]

Bloomsday surveys his subterranean den. His den of pups.  His subterranean den of pups, watching The Electric Company.
