Three Owls

If you have been reading this "blog" for a long time, you will understand what I am about to tell you. If this is your first time reading the "blog," you are out of luck. Get out while you can. Where were you when I needed you? That's what I thought. Why are you still here? Go on, git! Anyway, in the Peter Straub novel GHOST STORY, one character tells some other characters, "You look like three owls." Five pages later, she is no longer satisfied with mere simile and calls them "You three owls." Let me stress, she is referring to three humans, not three owls. This should not be confused with the time I went to Los Angeles and encountered three books with owls in them. This is one book with three owl-like humans in it. (See also. And also.)
