The warmth and twinkle of the #hearth permeated the Frédéric Chopin filled room. A line of scented candles set her soul adrift as the flickering fairies led her through the house where she found a heart shaped ring of flowers and him on his knee, ring and #deluxe heart offered.

“We’ll begin peace talks when my son arrives. Shouldn’t be long.”
A #deluxe #hearth in the affluent chamber roared and sizzled from the spitted meat as the king’s #lancet removed and offered a beautiful hunk. “While we wait.”
“Delicious, this, what is it?”
“Your son.”

‘’So you decided to go to the party as a vampire?’

‘Yeah. I splurged and got the #deluxe edition at the costume place.’

‘You look good. Do those fangs really work?’

‘Not really. They kinda suck.’

In 1648, the first woman in Massachusetts was executed for witchcraft. Her name was Margaret Jones, and her story inspired my debut novel, The First Witch of Boston. Thrilled to bring her voice to life here on Bluesky. #HistFic #AmWriting #Writingcommunity

His jokes aren't funny, but the drink is free, so she laughs.
"Don't run away," she coos, heading to the ladies.
More bronzer to tan her pale skin, more blush to hide the rotting #undertones. Fresh lipstick for a kiss pressed to his carotid. Blood and bourbon, her favorite cocktail. #vss365

Just clear a 4+ hour block, dig in, and enjoy.

Be warned Divine Comedy has a side effect of encouraging medieval poetic prose for some time. 😉

Beethoven was on the telephone
Selling sheet music and having a moan
Frankly not sure which is worse
The overtures or the #undertone

“Don’t #fret little guys.” #Spike the #werewolf #taught his prisoner pain and fear. Gold eyes gathered an #undertone of danger and broke the chained vampire's mind. “One foot at a time. I want you to enjoy my school of #piranha. And once you heal, we'll do it again.”

Always he waited. Forever time stopped for her. #Piranha chewed nerves and #fret paced as an #undertone to the tarry of the day. The reward for constant procrastination and dally would come later with a #spike of adrenaline and musk of love only to return to impatient patience.

#WIPSnips #push
Miranda led Acsel and Tune through the broken Breach Zone beyond the borders of NF. She knew what's out there among the skeletal remains of the long dead city. Here in Between Neon and The Light, the guys work up the nerve to ask her.
#amwriting #cyberpunk #godpunk #action #adventure

$Fallen skyrisers and old skyscrapers littered the ruins. Scattered among them a graveyard of twisted vehicular remains and craters from age-old bombs. Wear from the irradiated sand on the wind aggressively attacked the broken concrete landscape. Domiciles, factories, and more created piles and resembled clawed protrusions amid the dismal darkness and wasted remains akin to ancient angry gods who reached out from below the wretched earth. Others crumbled low and created deep and wide chasms, the likes of which spanned miles and resembled giant cracks in dried mud. Miranda led them as if she’d been in that decayed place before and indeed, she had. The dread determination in Miranda’s face as they worked quickly along the fractured terrain instilled silence upon both men. Approximately an hour scrolled by when Tune increased his stride to trek alongside her. Secondhand terror and weary legs had worn thin. “I’m deathly tired and so thirsty.” Tune whispered. Emphasis on his immediate pains plagued any reluctance to break the silence. “Push through it. We have to . . .” Tune interrupted first. “But . . .” Acsel interrupted the interruption as he rushed closer. “What we runnin from anyways? Why’re you so scared? You’re scarin Tune, 'ell, you’re scarin me.”$

This writer has near flawless technique and an admirable ability to seamlessly attribute prompts into a complete story. I poured over @spauffwrites.bsky.social's timeline and had to force myself to stop because most of them are excellent.

He sang a bold ballad
in a lilting baritone
But she could hear
the pathos buried
in subtle undertones

Storm's coming. The charge in the air put her hair on end, makes her heart race. Donning her heaviest #raincoat, she leaves, feigning illness. The drizzle nibbles her cheeks, every drop a #piranha, tearing flesh.
You're not that sweet.
No, she's tears and tides, Lot's wife, slowly melting. #vss365

MoonSea Log Entry Day 251:

Our automated reef-bots keep the kelp clear as we prep the divers, their lensed eyes shimmer in the dawnlight. 0630: Bridge watch noted, unexpectedly, the bots rising higher, circling the pontoons, blades glinting. Someone joked #piranha, the name has stuck.

She screamed when her boyfriend collapsed to a #knee. The #raincoat kept spatter to a minimum as the storm washed his life away. The Headless Horseman, #incarnate and reborn, turned on her with no mercy and collected skulls.

It was a dark
And stormy night.

"Best put on my #raincoat
And galoshes," I said staring at the rain drenched pavement and wishing wistfully for a spring day full of sunshine as if I gave a toss about anything.

Being Gen X, however, I opted to watch telly and eat soup from the can.

Yeah, no, I mean…the other one…instead of that one…the clingy one…

#Raincoat?

Yea, damn! Now I know why I married you!
