Pillowfort is restful so far because I have 12 followers so I feel like I could just say anything at all. The early days on all social media sites is always like shouting into the void & the void doesn't shout back, which is nice 😂

Anyway, if you're there, so am I!

Happy #Invertober day 14!

Bobbit or sand striker worm (Eunice aphroditois)

This one was a bit terrifying-looking, so I went in a more abstract direction 😂

#Invertober2025

Drawing in white ink against a dull blue background of the head and upper body of a worm with spiky protrusions on head and sides. It is drawn in an almost abstract style to emphasize shape and pattern rather than being strictly realistic.

Without power, the office was filled with night and shadow. But Agnes could hear its amorphous slithering. Smell its acrid, sweet odor.

Crouched on her cubicle desk, she lit the floor with her cellphone.

Above her, an oily, dark mass prepared to drop.

“It’s the #deluxe version.” She pushed the stack of gaily wrapped confections toward him.

“You shouldn’t have.”

“We don’t go out anymore, but it’s your birthday.”

He popped a candy into his mouth, and his lips tingled. “Nuts.”

“I know.”

He collapsed. #vss365

“It’s not bad.” She tapped the pencil on the desk. “I like the #undertones of longing for what he cannot have. Very subtle.”

“So we’re good to go?”

“Not bad is not a green light. Lose the orphan and amp up the sexual tension.” #vss365

“What do you see?”

He studied the sea of gray cubicles. “Dunno. A workplace?”

“It’s an entire ecosystem with #piranhas, drones, and sheep. And to survive, you have to know which is which.”

“But those are different species.”

She shook her head as she walked away. #vss365

Morning my friends it's day 12 & we're close to the final stop on our musical mystery tour.

Our word is inspired by a band who cheered us up with a cheeky reworking of Tom Hark in 1980, today's #vss365 #prompt 12/10/25 is #Piranha .

What's your favourite cover version?

“I had the best idea. You know how we just have a bowl of candy for the kids at Halloween? Boring. I’ll answer the door and…” He opened his #raincoat, displaying various sweets lined up in small pockets.

Her mouth fell open.

“Great, huh?”

“Nope. And burn that coat.” #vss365

Standing in Nelson Mandela’s cell on Robben Island (for 18 of his 27 years of imprisonment) is an emotional experience. The brutality that was inflicted on the political prisoners here is hard to even process.

He danced, pink, purple, and gold scarves swirling. The little kids on the block trailed, endeavoring to mimic his moves.

Gladys rocked on her front porch. “Gotta love that boy’s #verve. I was quite the trailblazer in my day too.”

“I remember.” Her husband nodded. #vss365
