HJ Anti-Academic Anecdotes: Some Words with a Caravan

While everyone's busy on Halloween with candy and the triple feature in the Academy of the Fantastical Mystics, Aloysius Spinks is more concerned about a exotic band of travelers who happens to be lodging in the nearby meadow. And if it's not the mummified foxy brown who came from the Academy that'll make things difficult for the likes of him, then it'll be the American farmgirl who happens to be travelling with them.

And who ALSO happens to wear no shoes and an Academy robe over her tattered overalls.

The following story contains strong language, Middle-European jive and takes place between Chapters 5 & 6 of Harriet Jinjur vs. the Academy.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: The following story contains fanciful, yet inaccurate, portrayals of Romani people. While they won't be vilified in this story, it's still important to address that these people have been under scrutiny throughout the ages and it's only now that we're starting to treat them more than the stereotypes they're commonly depicted. This is still a work of fiction and isn't meant to be seen as a portrait of the Romani. I wasn't intending to depict my version of Romani as unscrupulous and not planning to bring them back unless they're handled by a steadier hand than mine. So, please enjoy what I have written and as always, READER DISRECTION IS ADVISED!
