    Summary

    For Burns Night 2022

    Something is attacking travellers near the Auld Alloway Kirk, and since it might be smugglers, and since he knows the area, Robert Burns - poet, farmer and currently His Majesty's Exciseman for the parish of Upper Nithsdale - is sent to deal with it. But while he waits in the dark to see what might lurk around the old, haunted churchyard, he sees something far more surprising - a blue box that appears out of nowhere, and a strange, auld man known as The Doctor.

    This is written in Ayrshire Scots, the language Burns wrote in, slightly anglicised to make it easier to read, with a modern English translation in the second column. It's an imitation of Burns' style, and inspired by his epic poem "Tam O'Shanter", and I've borrowed a couple of wee couplets from the original here and there.

    Summary

    In 1927, Richard Upton Pickman, infamous painter of horrors, disappeared from his Boston studio. In 1957, a man claiming to be the missing artist reappeared at the Nevada Nuclear Testing Site near Las Vegas and was promptly committed to a mental institution. In 1958, Doctor Smith managed to have a somewhat sensible conversation with Richard Upton Pickman. What was revealed, on the other hand, wasn't sensible at all.
