10.5

There were some who tried the Brighton line with a single sheet of innocent paper. There was no simple bureaucracy here; the entire working machinery of rubber stamps in London was called into play. Thus, the travelers often found themselves unbelievably detained.

[I love the sound of this. The middle line is what I woke up repeating to myself. But I can't help feeling to myself that the entire thing, though beautiful, is punctuated utterly wrong.]
[Also, I can't spell bureaucracy. The key,apparently, is "bureau." My cheating with the Google voice recognition only gives me "do you rock chrissy," and I can't help but wonder. Do you? Do you rock, Chrissy?]

  1. That's always a word I've had trouble with. Surprise as well. I'm not sure why.

    The piece itself is really full of sound. And I like it.

  2. It's the last sentence giving me trouble. I want another run at it.
