He sat before greatness and hoped for a rewind on his life. A hope that would never bear fruit. No prayer could stop fate. But, disbelief exudes off his blade. With trained percision, he strived to see if he could make miracles.

It razed endless. Their disdain licked the concrete hoping to get a taste of life. Its core rotten red with hatred, it had only known destruction. The

left were black with envy and scorn. Darkness grasped at the heavens and prayed for escape.

The distance begged a word. It cursed in the verse. Between rocks, their mood settled and stained the smooth surface. The curves of cracked stone,

and gorges that craved a path.

The ants came out to dance under a grim tune. They gathered in a fierce storm of discontent. When the order came down. Clashing like myrmidons, they broke ranks and some fell away in the rain of violence.
#Gravity
gave no assitance to the natural selection.

Her hand reached for him. His madness devolved. The
#signal
distorted. Through the chaos, aspirations dashed. Fingers recoiled back from the shot to the soul. Lost forever, he fell for her and faded into her pages. The book closed, the end.

You submerged under the weight of cruel hands. Become versed in the battle of self,

yourself until you reach heaven in the end. They grasp onto the ropes tight around you but they never pull you up. Wrangle it and climb, your fantasy wasn't a grave.

Good morning, lovelies. Happy Friday. I never knew that a word like this existed. Did you? Now it's one of my favourites. I love the feeling when rastrophiliopustrocity happens, don't you? Have a good weekend.

In daylight I
#linger
. Ignored for the most part, I'm cast aside with less than a second glance. In the moons gaze, I occupy the night. You hesitate, breath short. Fearful of the dangers which lurk within me. In darkness I am immortal. For I am the shadows...

Waves of joy guided them to the field. Whistles flew through tall spines of the marsh. The wind wanted to soar into the sun's embrace but mother

Water cursed by the strands of adventure. Like writing our life story, the pen crafted dreams on that page. Blacker than the closet darkness if we closed that chapter, it felt like a

Their eyes burned with it. A heart that lost the fight to consumption. In death, no one threatened to exhume their thoughts.

"Forgiveness is such a cruel thing to ask me." She turned to him. "I can't do it. It will break me. To give them that? Never." "Who said you would be doing it for them? It's not about them. It's about your heart. Do it to clear your soul and their bad memory will fade."

In the dark mirror, a light blew past all the dust. It would reflect on their
#diligence
. But it chased in vain what it could not attain. Indifference was shown when they preached haste. The destination became their only importance.

Minds tortured and cursed. A haughty breath weaved under highlands, the lowly fiends ran and laughed. The ferns and shrubs become

I Was a Run DMC Square. I learned to rap late, not until I was 5, retarded for Brooklyn in the 1980s. Even my rap
#name
was copied, Jake Blues, from John Belushi's Blues Brothers character, not even a recognized rapper, but I daydreamed skatting a mean fusion of Danny Kay & Andy Kaufman.

Sotkari politics became

. You were for or against people with telekinetic and telepathic abilities integrating with the rest of society. That drove every decision until the Lostai arrived. Our divisions made us vulnerable. They took advantage. We lost control.

My gaming take for the night: Video games are good but the chase for visual fidelity has dealt a massive blow to the health of the industry So many amazing games remain unplayed by many because the standards for graphics is so high (for the majority) Seeing retro games as ugly=bad is a mistake

The vicious storm raged in his chest. Hasty breathes escaped with each explosion of
