Once in a while
our world must #flush away the detritus of its inhabitants
once in a while
a civilisation arises
to hurry themselves
down the pipes
taking innocent bystanders along with them.
And here we are
hanging to the rim
our feet pulled towards
a brown abyss.

Stripped are the words from her dry mouth, gestures swathed in an oversized #cloak.

Thoughts held captive, her time is short, but the information she has could change that.

Though her wrists are bound, the window beckons, and the fall beyond screams for company.

I ain't ashes
I ain't #dust
I'm haunting, bitch!
I'm haunting.
Body underground, but a spirit on top
I don't make a sound when I'm freaking non-stop
Making 'em scream in bed
Making 'em scream when I remove my head
That's what you get for cremating me

Certainly unpredictable
expect the unexpected
rifle in the fridge
cool and protected.
Count the stairs
from bottom to top
and #measure the distance
you'll need to drop
from the bedroom window
onto the lawn
knife under your pillow
like Jason Bourne.

Books, am I right?

Back to work with you all!

No more procrastination.

No more lollygagging, whatever that really means!

And definitely no more slobbery!

Don't expect me to lead by example either!

"Putting the rum back in #decorum" was not what Lady Morgan had meant when she suggested some civilised afternoon drinks.

But here she is, up to her eyeballs in cheap fondue and swapping clothes with peasants on a Tuesday.

Etiquette is for those lacking imagination.

Writing a synopsis for a book while waiting for beta-reader feedback...

Industrious or idiotic?

🤔
December 28, 2024 at 5:54 PM
Yeah,

I should probably...

You know...

Yeah.

Wash your pillow
Wash it right
Or Curdleshrew

There is mercy
in its song
You're

late
just
sing
along.

No more #drama
No more pain
No more cold and winter rain
No more guilt
'til you're insane
and no more waking up again.

All he had to do was wait for the powers to develop after having his cheek sucked by an #axolotl.
Everyday he tried to camouflage, or breathe underwater.

Just before he cut off his toe, to try to regrow it, the nausea hit and hundreds of eggs poured out of him.

It's probably time I introduce myself...

I'm Jethro (Yes, like Jethro Tull 🙄)

I'm an author, a physio, an actor, an English tutor and a voiceover artist... Not necessarily in that order.

I've been #vss365 ing for years and hope the #writingcommunity migrates safely!

What do you lot do? 😃

#Propagate scandals
Propagate lies

Propagate pies.

That crackling sound
the heat it brings
raging through
fabric and wood
beautiful, smoking horror
caused by something
so small.
I hold it
between finger and thumb
this tiny piece
of #latent destruction
but touching it
to a cigarette
I destroy myself instead.

Met this guy today.

Seems nice.

Think he was using me for food.

His name's Tom.

After a storm
the #creeper comes
feeding on debris
on panic and devastation
this shadow
with no need for light
maw agape
but unseen
absorbs emotion
until all is forgotten
or repressed at least
and the same mistakes
are made
so it can come
to feed
again.

The bird may still fly
with clipped wings
but the butterfly
is barely out of its chrysalis.

A #citizen of my own demise
I chase moonlight
for the sun is too bright
and only shadows lend themselves
these silhouettes of success
painted on the ground
shifting with the passage of time
lengthening until they are excoriated
from the land
by the promise of tomorrow.

It really was as simple as saying #yes.

They know me by name now.

At night, they whisper it to me.

Illegible messages scrawled on walls.

They feed on my discomfort.

They bring me gifts from nature, ugly gifts, living gifts sometimes.

I thought I wanted kids.

Now I'm not so sure.

Digging through old boxes
for forgotten #souvenirs
a reminder of the time we spent
drifting through the years
and even though I'm older
and time rushes past in haste
regret is not the feeling
it's a shame but not a waste.

#Home is where the hearts are, and the livers, and the pancreases... Or is that pancrei? It doesn't really matter, as long as they're cooked well, and the people they've come from don't manage to escape.

Does anyone else find it impossible to read through their work without editing it?

I physically cannot not edit!

I even want to edit this right now!

Stuck somewhere between the afterlife and the life before, he wanders without focus, for focus here is dangerous, it suggests ambition, and ambition in a place like this is a runaway #train heading only for insanity.

Insanity, though, may be his best bet.

At last, we have an accurate model of time, to demonstrate its non-linearity.

It has both an ebb and a flow, though the ebbs outweigh the flows ten to one.

It is only a matter of time before we gain control and, in war, #delay tactics become the only path to victory.
