RoM01-8: "This Business of Jupiter"

Tom is in the water for a second time, and it seems that he wishes for the rest of us to drown. Presenting Tom's second choice of Muse:

"THIS BUSINESS OF JUPITER"

This will be the theme for the eighth chapter/entry of your story/creative expression. If you forget any rules, refresh yourself here: 1st Annual "River of Mnemosyne" Challenge.

REMINDERS:

• Don't link until you've posted the entry on your site and link that entry directly (not your blog home page)
• Keep in mind that if you want to participate in the voting process, you MUST submit an entry for at least the first Muse. This means that if you ONLY submit a first Muse, you are eligible to vote for the entire competition.

***Also, the admins have realized that the possibility to combine Muses into one post exists: this is NOT allowed. Well, it is allowed (write/create what you want, after all), but it will only count as one chapter for purposes of entry and of voting.

The Muses so far:

1. 1. "A Random Memory"
2. 2. "Fear of Writing"
3. 3. "An Ambiance of Technology"
4. 4. "Omitting Your Mistakes" 
5. 5. "Of Feral Mind and Carnal Heart"
6. 6. "Earnest Mockery" 
7. 7. "Shattered Mirrors"
8. 8. "This Business of Jupiter"
