and what are YOU looking at???

this is a fly i fished out of the iron bucket at the well in the garden, whereupon it gave me that look
the look of a bemonocled wiry grumpy old bastard, possibly the owner of a mysterious 2nd hand bookstore, the purpose of which is not selling anything to anyone, but rather being the place to stand and rest his lever on, for whoever attempts to move time the archimedes way
the air smells like dusty old leather and would only, but significantly be rivalled in dryness by the shopkeeper's humour, if he had any
