We hunkered down in the sub-basement,
Listening to the crashes of the waves
Against the rocks below.
We prayed for morning light,
And sanity,
As we weathered the storm.

crashing down below the waves
maybe I can't breathe.
there's light somewhere there
far-distant
unreachable
oh well, at least the temps pleasant
a warmth I couldn't feel before
drowning
in delirium.

She came at him with murder in her eyes. Amused by her #fury, Malachi disarmed her easily, crooning placations he didn’t mean. Vivy spat a curse in his face—literally. He sputtered and dropped, paralyzed.
She took her knife back. “Let’s try this again.”

never fear the fury of the storm,
fear the calm that comes before it.
before you see the lightning
coming out of my eyes,
there will be a silence so deep,
no one will hear you scream.

We are but insects.

Those hellish flames raced
Down the hill and down,
Eating everything in their path.
They were aware,
And they were out for blood.

She crossed the #hellish landscape, dodging rips in reality and eldritch creatures; ignoring the screams and blood and fire, to stand beside the one who had caused it all.
“You came back,” he said.
She took the Antichrist’s hand. “I thought you’d be lonely.”

The longer the guitar solo went on, and the drums—the more the clouds churned above, the higher the waves rose. As lightning struck the horizon, and strange shapes moved in the shadows, Jynx felt a #primordial fear lodge in her throat. Someone had tricked her.

She was born during the storm of the century, so naturally her father dubbed her #Tempest. When she whistled up her first gale at six years old, she was shipped off to her Auntie Pru’s ranch, who knew more of such things and where Tempe could do much less damage.

And a gnashing of teeth.

In this tempest, you are doing okay - flowing and shifting with every swelling wave in ways that help the ship balance.
This must be a dream, you think vaguely.
