Special Delivery: An Encounter Unlike Any Other

Here is the short story I wrote in conjunction with my music instrumental inspired by the raffle prized I received from @KennyNaga on twitter. Naga!Kenny belongs to @ask-nagakenny​ Fuzz belongs to me @fuzzrawmuse​

Okay, where do I begin?...Oh right! Introductions

 My name is Fuzz. I am a wolf-feline hybrid. A musician (well, a guitar noise-generator more so) and troublemaker based in northeast of the grand ol’ US-of-A. 

 I had decided to try to get a cheap holiday flight to the mid-west by mailing myself from the east coast in a wooden crate and packing peanuts. Turns out you get what you pay for. The plane carrying postage was this old cargo unit from a bygone era scooped up for pennies on the on dollar. The vessel was on the brink of falling apart in mid-flight, and it did… the cargo hatch snapped, door popped open and I was falling out of the sky right. Two thoughts popped into my head: 

welp, so much for the free trip to Chicago 

and 

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! 

 The longer in free fall my heart sank further. Had my eyes closed for the whole eternity as I was bracing for impact, until WHOMP! CRACK! BWOSH! THUD! “…wait, I’m still alive?” Despite being rattled around and scratched up, I had survived the crash landing.  Dazed and bemused, I pried open the box and found myself in some tropical jungle area alone only with my trusty guitar and cheap flip phone with a cracked display. “I’m not going to last long out here, especially now that I’ve brought attention myself to any potential predators” little did I know that would be the exact thing that would happen, but by what? 

I left the rubble behind, anxiously to find reception to make a distress call so wouldn’t get eaten alive. After wandering aimless for hours (I’d lost count after the first), I couldn’t for the life of me find signal. Not good. Instead, I found a skyscraper-like tree with an enormous trunk and innumerable array of branches. With my feet nearly about to fall off, I decided I needed to take a breather. Hopelessness was setting in: 

How am I going to get outta here?... 

 Too tired to move my legs and on the verge of nervous breakdown. I sat at the base of the big tree, guitar in my hands, plucking away at the strings just trying to calm my nerves. Struggling to find the right notes just to ease the growing tension, knowing nightfall was fast approaching and that I was in unfamiliar zone. 

I was so engrossed in the music that I didn’t realize that I was sending vibrations through the tree all the way to the top… then suddenly I heard a deep male voice from above me. 

“Well, I didn’t know there would be a concert this evening” 

I jolted up from the based. “W-who said that?!”  I was not alone as I thought… “L-look” I stammered, “I-I-I wasn’t trying to cause a racket, I just made a f-few wrong turns and just-“ 

“Racket? What you were playing sounded pretty good to me” The voice interjected. 

“wait, really?”

Who was this? It sounded like some aristocratic I would’ve run into down in Georgia, but there was a warm, welcoming quality when he spoke that made me feel more at ease. For all I’ve known, this guy could be trying to sell me snake oil out in the jungle. 

“Would love to have up here to hear more your musssic~” 

Weird, that sounded like hissi-

Before I could finish that thought, a long snake tail had descended from the tree and wrapped firmly around my waist.

“w-WOaH!!” barely keep hold of my six-string as I was hoisted up into the tree. The anxiety creeping back in.  Oh, dear Neptune, what have I gotten myself into? …And yet the ascent was not forceful, whatever had abducted me had me secure in its coils and was lifting me steadily without rapid momentum.  I couldn’t tell if this was an elaborate trap from a mastermind predator or a benevolent invitation from an eccentric host. Amid the inner turmoil of uncertainty, the higher I was lifted I was able to see sunset over the whole tropical jungle. For a moment, it was serine and peaceful…

Then I was about to see who or what had plucked me from the jungle floor as I was brought through the foliage up onto the thickest branch. There to greet me was something I couldn’t have imagine being real… 

“Apologies for not properly introducing myself”

One half a broad muscular human with long flowing copper locks, pronounced nose and chin. The other, gigantic serpent. 

 “My name is Kenny” the naga said while gently setting me down onto the tree branch. 

“F-Fuzz” I stammered, in awe and ‘dear in headlight’ terror “my n-name is Fuzz.”

“Well nice to meet you face to face” Kenny said with a friendly smile as he extended his arm out to shake my hand. 

“So what brings you here?” he asked as I shook his hand.

“Oh um, well I…” So I told the naga how I ended up here. He listened with interest as I detailed the series of events, made me feel less anxious the more I talked.             

“Good heavens!” Kenny exclaimed “So that was the loud crash I heard earlier today. That seems like lot of effort for a not-so pleasant trip, hope you aren’t too hurt.” Most of my times in peril, people would assume the worst of me and actively avoid me. I would have to shrug it off and move on. So, it was really weird that to hear genuine concern from a creature that dwarfs me in size, not knowing for certain if would become his next meal. 

            “Yeah,” I sheepishly replied trying to play it off my turbulent journey, “I have been through worse, all in the name of rock n’ roll, haha.” 

As I dryly laughed, I felt the adrenaline wore off, and I was beginning to feel the soreness all over my body. 

“You must be exhausted after such a long day,” Kenny remarked as he saw me rubbing my neck. 

“I mean,-“ I tried to interject but I had to relent  “…yeah, it’s been kinda of stressful day to put it lightly.”

“Perhaps I could help alleviate you stressssss, Fuzz?” He proposed

“H-how?” I asked nervously trying to save face, not knowing what was to happen next.

“Are you some kind of hypnotist?” I asked half-jokingly. I saw a mischievous grin form across Kenny’s expression “Well…” he said “I have somewhat of an expertise when it comes to hypnosis”

I felt the blood drain from my face, I knew it. I was done for. I was going to be put under and swallowed whole. “Well it’s b-been a niiiiice visit,” I said, shakily getting up from the branch “but I really must go.” As I tried to make my escape, I glanced down realizing that I was up a good a hundred feet from the ground. Vertigo nearly made me fall off, so I looked back up to see Kenny still deviously smiling back at me. This I exactly where this naga wanted me for easy picking. I closed my eyes in fear with my back against the tree.

“W-w-wait!” I pleaded, with my eyes shut firmly holding onto my guitar for dear life, “don’t eat me, please! I’m just fur and bones.” 

I was bracing for the strike… nothing happened. There was a pause, then a deep chuckle from Kenny

“Eat you?” he said, “I’m not going to do that, I wouldn’t get to hear your music again.”

“Then what are you going to do with me?” I asked tensely. 

“I just want to help,’ Kenny said tenderly, as he gently took the guitar out of my hands. Now with my arms covering my eyes still unsure of what was going to happen. I felt his hands caress my face, which slightly surprised me but strangely didn’t oppose. Lord what is coming over me?

“You deserve to get some resssssst” he said into my ear, sending shivers up my spine.

 “How s-s-so?” I stuttered.

“Let me look at you” Kenny’s voice drenched in honey “so you can sssee what I have to offer.”

 Cautiously, I lowered my arms and slowly opened my right eye to see Kenny right in front of me, but now his eyes were now blooming rings of blue, yellow, orange, green, blue, yellow, orange, green, blue, yellow… I was caught in his gaze each passing second. Unsure of what was exactly happening, I felt each color washing over my worried mind with a calming warmth and coolness. As the rings grew stronger in my head (blue, yellow, orange, green…) the tension in my neck and shoulders began to wane. I start to feel something at my legs. Something slowly wrapping around my body steadily coiling from up my waist to my chest. Kenny was forming rings of colors in my head and rings of coils of his long tail around my body. 

 “Looks like you’re starting to ssssee,” his voice echoing a deep tranquility into me, “how’s about we get both eyes, if you pleassssse.”

At this point, I slightly dazed smile forming along the edges of my face.  I was a mumbling, repeating back a few odd words, syllables, noises back whilst in my trance-like state. Feeling his coils encapsulate my body             “hngg, mmh,” I replied “Ke-Kenny, it feels so good, so go—” before I could finish, Kenneth’s tail completed wrapping around my collarbone and easing over the last trace of my neck. Giving one last tender squeeze around my whole body, opening my left eye exposing it to the rest of Kenny’s hypnotic gaze, sending my mind into intense bliss. With both eyes reflecting the ever-changing colors of Kenny’s and his scaley tender touch, I had succumbed to his sensual embrace over my whole being. He spoke gently into my ear as my eyes slowly began to shut

 “Ssssee you in the morning…”

 I awoke to a calm morning atop in the jungle, snug in coil cocoon. It was the best sleep I had in a while. 

“Ah, good morning, Fuzz” Kenny said, “did you sleep well?” 

“Mhmm?” I sleepily hummed “you could say that.”

He and I both chuckled, then Kenny offered to fetch some fruit for breakfast before. I happily accepted as I stretched my arms from out of his coils to go and offered to help Kenny.  As we went scrounging, Kenny proposed to drop me off by a jungle expedition he saw just north of here to get me back home

“You know,” I replied “I wouldn’t mind staying for another day. After all, I still owe you a proper concert for the hospitality you gave”

Kenny smiled “That can be arranged~” he said as he gave a warm grin back to me. 

I would’ve stayed longer, but I had to get back to my stomping grounds. I recorded as much of music I remember hearing during that fateful day, it’s still a little blurry in details, but the feelings I had are all there. 

 One day I’ll have to make a return trip to this jungle, minus the crash landing. I’m sure I’d be able to find Kenny again, I know just what to play to get his attention. If he doesn’t mind me as a repeat guest. Somehow, I think that’s exactly what he wants…  

[ohfallingdisco]

Just saw your post abt mike in the south and I'm excited bc that's where I live and there's not a lot of fics there so thanks for that first and foremost <3

Secondly, I wanted to give you some little ideas of places he he could do when he's there(if he has money/none

(also I live in NC and interact with the SC, GA, and FL area, tho I haven't been to Atlanta yet.)

Places to go

-Savannah Georgia is one of the most beautiful places in the south I've ever been, it has sad history but some of the buildings there are hundreds of years old! Huge tourist attraction and

There are a lot of cool old towns and shops in NC that I've seen, I live close to an old town center that has a lot of cool shops that would be fun to browse with friends or alone.

of course there are the big attractions like Carowinds, Nascar, Disney etc. In this area tho Im having a hard time imagining he gets around to those, plus they are just more fun with friends.

Sports are cool too, I love the small baseball stadiums that you can hang out at, and tickets are usually pretty cheap in my area.

Additions

Idk if you live in this area too, (if so, hi fellow southerner, 👋) but I figured I would drop some of the popular hotels/motels in the area to aid research if you wanted to do that.

-holiday inn

-hilton

-marriot(I'm pretty sure this might just be popular in NC tho, idk I asked around people said this one a lot)

I'm really excited to read your fic and I hope you don't mind this ask 😅 just wanted to offer up some info Incase you wanted/needed it. Feel free to ignore.

Anon, this was so sweet so thank you a billion for that, I meant to respond earlier but something you said gave me an idea and I had to go write it down, thanks for helping already & your info is definitely appreciated lmao <3

I hope to have a first chapter up soon, I don’t know exactly how long they’re going to be, but if it’s on the longer side, it might be a bit more of a wait. Just whatever works, I guess.

Anyway, I hope it’s fun to read and meets expectations! It’s definitely fun to write :)

Seven Safety & Energy Efficiency Tips for Trick or Treaters Visiting Your Home

New Post has been published on https://www.georgiagassavings.com/blog/seven-safety-energy-efficiency-tips-for-trick-or-treaters-visiting-your-home/

Seven Safety & Energy Efficiency Tips for Trick or Treaters Visiting Your Home

Safe and Energy Efficient Halloween Decorating Tips

Worried about summoning forth an expensive energy bill from your spooky Halloween decorations? Our tips help keep your home display safe for trick or treaters and energy efficient for your pocketbook..

Halloween decorations can be one of the most fun things about fall. Whether you lean towards giant skeletons and jump scares or cutesy pumpkins and fall flowers, there are important tips to follow to keep the fun safe. This is especially true if you welcome trick or treaters to the house on the 31st. For all our Georgia gas customers, we have some great energy efficiency tips, too. Don’t worry, you don’t have to go to the graveyard to dig up these tips; we’ve done all the work for you.

3 Best Safety Tips for Your Spooky Decorations

Just like shopping for Georgia gas companies, it always pays to be careful. If you go all out with spooky decorations, there’s a chance you get so caught up in the fun, you forget about some essential safety concerns. Let’s run down three ways to keep things safe for you and the trick or treaters.

Lights. Add some lights to your pathway. This helps trick or treaters easily see their way. Plus, with the days growing shorter, this keeps you safer, too. Bonus tip: if you take the kids out for Halloween, bring a couple flashlights!

Reflective tape. This is a great tool to bring some extra attention to steps along your pathway, up to your door, and even for uneven cracks along the driveway and elsewhere. Bonus tip: stick some reflective tape to the back of jackets, costumes, and candy buckets for extra visibility.

Outdoor extension cords. If your decorations rely on electricity, make sure you only use extension cords rated for outdoor use. Also, follow instructions to be sure you don’t plug too much into one cord. Finally, never run cords across pathways where they become a tripping hazard.

4 Best Energy Efficiency Tricks for Halloween Decorations

In addition to being safe with your spooky outdoor décor, let’s also save you a bit of money!

Go solar. Pathway luminaries and other outdoor decorations are available with solar power so you won’t be consuming any extra electricity and running up your energy bills.

LED. Upgrade your fun holiday lights and regular outdoor lightbulbs with LEDs. Energy Star products can be up to 75% more efficient and last 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs, according to the Department of Energy.

Timers. Anything you plug in should also have a timer, so it isn’t running longer than is practical. If you don’t want to spend money on timers, set alarms on your phone to remind yourself to turn decorations on and off.

Heat. Even if you’re expecting a chilly Halloween night, don’t blast the heat. Because you’re opening the door frequently, you’ll be wasting a lot of energy. Instead, turn the heat down, choose a cozy costume, and fully close your door between trick or treaters. Up the efficiency with new weather stripping around the front door!

(Trick or) Treat Yourself to a Cheap Gas Rate

In addition to the efficiency tips above, a great way to lower energy costs is with a new gas plan. Rates are cheap right now! Furthermore, snagging a sweet natural gas plan with a fixed rate today sets you up to shop in the fall shoulder months for years to come.

8 Cheapest Countries to Visit from Dubai

Everybody dreams of visiting Dubai one day. The suave and uber-luxurious Middle Eastern country is everybody’s dream destination. But what about those who are already living in Dubai? What would they do when they want a change of scene? And let’s admit it. Dubai is expensive, and not everyone living and working in Dubai can afford a holiday to Europe or America. But that does not mean you have to compromise on your travel dreams. Instead, you can choose nearby locations that are budget-friendly. Moreover, Dubai, which has one of the best airports in the world, has direct flights to almost all the countries mentioned here. The eight cheapest countries to visit from Dubai are as follows.

Georgia

Georgia is a country flanked by the Caucasus mountains. What makes it even more special is that it is one of the countries that lies between Europe and Asia. This is why you will find influences from both continents here. Residents of Dubai love visiting this country, as there are plenty of things to do in Georgia. You can go sightseeing, mountain trekking, and even wine tasting in this gorgeous country.

Moreover, there are plenty of inexpensive flights from Dubai to Georgia. The country also offers several budget-friendly accommodations, making it perfect for travelers on a budget. A week-long trip to Georgia can be done within AED 4000.

Iran

Dubai is a bustling city with tourists crowding it, especially in winter. If you want to take a break from the crowd and visit a beautiful place that is not on everyone's radar, then Iran is one of the best cheap getaways from Dubai. Unlike most people, the whole country is not a war zone. On the other hand, Iran is a historically rich and geographically diverse country with so much to see and do. The gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the splendid landscapes, and the mouthwatering Persian cuisine will hook you to this magnificent country. You can easily spend ten days in Iran on a budget of AED 3000 if you go for modest accommodation and use public transportation.

India

One of the reasons why India is a part of this list is because of the short flights from Dubai to reach the country. You can get to India in 3 hours from Dubai.

Uzbekistan

The country where you can go on a holiday from Dubai without breaking your budget is Uzbekistan.

Spending eight days in Uzbekistan can cost you anywhere between AED 1800 to AED 2,000 depending on your budget.

Armenia

Armenia is a great alternative if you need to postpone your holiday to an Italian vineyard due to budget constraints. It is another country between Europe and Asia. The wine yards here are quite old and can give you a fantastic experience. An interesting fact about Armenia is that humans are said to have lived in the country since the Bronze Age.

Apart from sightseeing, Armenia is known for its wildlife and cultural tours. A 5-6 day tour in this country will cost around AED 3300.

Sri Lanka

A tear-drop-shaped nation right under India, Sri Lanka is most popular for its spotless beaches, breathtaking waterfalls, dense forests, and mighty mountains. Also, the country is known for its ancient history. While relaxing on the sandy beaches of Sri Lanka sounds really appealing, do not miss out on the water sports available here.
