The well called to him. The roiling #dark, curious & lustful, spoke to him in a voice so soft it hit his ears like velvet. The man told his secrets, and the well took his time. Hour by hour, day by day, until finally the dark invited him in.
The man stood over the well & gladly submitted. #vss365

He shivered as the ghost of her #touch tickled his skin. For a moment he was there again in the theater: smoke lifting up towards the harsh lights, the taste of her lingering on his lips. Rouge & palm sweat & the thunder of applause. The play was done but feelings remained, trapped in amber. #vss365

My brother
Loved to steal
My #towel
Poolside
And as I climbed out
Twist it into a snake
Then yell #run
He had a #touch
Of evil
Which I was grateful for
When Tooter Stoia
Chased me home
And left me
Face down
And bleeding
In the cedar bush
My brother
Loved to steal
My #towel
Poolside
And as I climbed out
Twist it into a snake
Then yell #run

It would only take a #touch at the nav console. He could take the blame and leave his crew largely innocent. This support role was total BS and they knew it.
But Dylan knew lives would be lost. They weren’t big enough. Not powerful enough but, one day, that wouldn’t matter.
Not today.

An aesthetic #glare
illumes London's coterie;
no lamps need be lit.
[The #haiku wouldn't permit me enough runway for an honest Gilbertian Collapse.]

I wake up to humming, beeps, body #ache-s, and the memory of losing control of the shuttlecraft and crashing. Outdoor light trickles in from somewhere. Storage cabinets and electronic equipment panels obstruct my view.
Where am I?
Heavy footsteps interrupt my thoughts.

She emerged from dark oblivion w/ a scream. When the sedatives kicked in, the doctors told her she was found in the woods somewhere, a victim of some unknown accident. She couldn’t remember. Nothing remained but a constellation of scars & scratches all over her skin.

Early one misty morn, his lover climbed a high cliff &, in the blink of an eye, was swallowed by the sea.
He buried his heart in a cave near the shore. There it remained w/ a lingering #ache, hollow & deep. In the high tide, it bleeds out into the cold waters in search for his other half. #vss365

The question repeated itself in the dark corridors, softer each time, like something learning my name.
I followed the voice anyway.
Past the broken mirrors. Past the cold that wasn’t cold.
#ache lives in the walls.
#castle keeps what it takes.
No one has ever left the same way they entered.

A winter ache settles in me as the season slips away, yet the memory of those snow lit days stays bright in every photograph I keep.

I hate landing on Vin6. The whole damn place is built on #bones, and they're proud of it. Cutouts on the glidewalks to see the bones underneath, sculptures of what they looked like when alive, playgrounds built of bones, the works. I met a live one once, y'know, far away. #vss365 (bones)
