The blend of classics into one..... April 2025 ..... HUGE BANG soon

 The dates spanned from the mid-14th century to the 15th century....

  • End of the Hundred Years' War (1453):
    The long conflict between England and France, which had been ongoing for over a century, concluded with the English defeat at the Battle of Castillon, marking a significant turning point in European history.
  • Fall of Constantinople (1453):
    The Ottoman Empire, under Sultan Mehmed II, conquered Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, marking the end of the Byzantine Empire and the rise of the Ottoman Empire as a major power.
  • Wars of the Roses (1455-1487):
    A dynastic conflict in England between the House of Lancaster and the House of York, fought over the English throne, began in 1455 and lasted for over three decades.
  • Other notable events:
    • 1439: Johannes Gutenberg invents the printing press, revolutionizing the spread of knowledge and information.
    • 1469: Marriage between Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile, uniting the kingdoms of Spain.
    Boring... Perhaps to some, but to me, it was to explore further in, and I found the HUGE BANG (the Big Bang was taken up then ..... hence my definitive mark here); the works of the classics were said to be of that era.
I was referring to three classics: MERCHANT OF VENICE, ROMEO AND JULIET, and DRACULA. Historically, to be in the same dates era, and one bloody ... excuse my expletive; the porn sites were unappealing.... I explored DRACULA... and did his works some months back... I meant writing about his exploits. It gave me more reasons to feel my neck during dawn.... and heck, my bride remains the same as it was thirty years ago. 

I then wandered off to VENICE and found another bloody event, minus the blood content, and CUPID struck me on the groin; he does miss at times, and I came to read ROMEO (thought then someone called me) and JULIET (she took the fast train to RENO when I was on PADDINGTON). 

Evil thoughts came to me.

If I can blend them and make a new recipe, what of blood and love, and money lenders...how interesting...okay, okay, sex is included in the package there...why not? We are all adults here, I presume. 

Imagine when David Livingstone was asked the now famous words, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" 

And if Livingstone was to respond, "No," and then, "I think they ate him..... Sorry, guvnor. Wrong continent, that one." 

"Thankfully, may I get out of the pot now, please? I think they added too much salt to the soup." 

Sarcasm works well most times.

Anyhow, I crossed my legs and covered my neck. I am taking the voyage to do that... and after three days of stormy weather, I am at 25K words... time flies when you are dying to tell the tale. My new tale will be different as it will start to explain a few matters we were never told, like why the Montagues and Capulets never liked each other but their children did, who Shylock was before he was the flesh-hungry money lender, and Vlad II (I absolutely loved him); his life once more told in words of how he had lived then. 

Those are the ingredients, and moving time and space into one frame, you get a refreshing look at how they knew each other and love binds us, while families destroy it.

Nuff said..... the HUGE BANG is coming.
