I #eased her to the floor as her strength faded. "Is it bad?" she whispered. "Can hardly #notice," I replied. "Liar," she smiled. The #virus took her. I felt her bones #bend and break and Change. I held her close, #exhaled. Crying, I snapped her neck. #InkMine #2wordprompt #vss365 #vssdaily

A frame cracked And glass on the floor A nail in the wall Where it hung once before The people we were The things we adored The memories shatter As you slam the door #SenseWrds 174 #poetry #writingcommunity #blueskypoetry

We thought we'd have forever. An eternity together; #sunny days and starlit nights. Happily ever after. But life gets busy, you know? And in the end #time runs out. Look for me in the garden, where eternity ends. I'll be waiting. Forever. #InkMine #PennedReveries #PenStricken #FoxProse

sparrow on the fence— the whole morning fits in her chest #haiku #poetry

She lays her head on his chest, listening to his heart #murmur. Butterflies #wander through her stomach. Could this be lo- No. Not love. Hunger. Bloodlust triggers the #emergence of her fangs. She bites. Twists. And drinks. Sigh. Why do all her dates end this way? #vss365 #InkMine #vssfantasy

I gather all of myself around, and beg them— 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩. I’m here to listen. And they all lead me back to an abandoned room, that echoes— and remembers, just like I do. #Poetry #Poem #BlueskyPoetry

Old dog, new tricks: finally read some #romantasy. And if A Court of Thorns and Roses by @sarahjmaas.bsky.social is anything to go by, my romantasy reading is gonna be an awesome adventure. Intriguing world-building, compelling characters, and all the tropes you can eat. What's not to like? #BookSky

she’s got a glance like g r a v i t y the kind that ties your shoelaces to the skin of the world and whispers “hold on, love” into the soft cradle of your ear #poetry

He #wanders the house alone, no #staff in sight, drawn each night to one #object. The #wonky portrait shows a bloody beast with a puzzled expression. He stares, unsure why. At last the truth hits him. It's not a portrait. The beast smiles, and he smiles with it. #InkMine #2wordprompt #vss365

Jimmy was an #untamed soul, bringing fun and chaos wherever he went...and then he'd simply #fold space and #Jump away. But after his small #snafu with the princess and the priestess, he learned an old truth. You can run. But you can't hide. Oh well. #vssfantasy #vssmagic #Penstricken #BraveWrite

Rush rush me no more. Don’t stem time let it flow. Over the horizon, fireflies glow. Like a floral scent, let me disappear into pages unfolding slow. A #symphony falters when rushed. Play those sensual, fluid, rust-toned notes low. Rush rush me no more. ~rev #vss365

She was tired of waiting for Mister Right. So she built him instead. From #wild hearts and #mighty body parts, and things even stranger than that. "So where did you two meet?" Graveyards are great for #witchcraft. "A lady never reveals her secrets." #BraveWrite #InkMine #PennedReveries

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The Beast #personified savagery. What was I supposed to think? I heard the girl's soft talk turn to #shallow gasps. Screams. #Struggles. So I kicked the door down. And two things became clear. One. They were...not #fighting. And two. He really was a hairy bugger. #2wordprompt #InkMine #vss365

She's no #common fairy. She has a job to do. She finds her victims while they're sleeping. She takes what she needs, leaves a #shallow #memory of rusted pain. And some change. Then the tooth fairy moves on, like a #leaf in the wind. A gig's a gig, you know? #vssmagic #InkMine #vss365 #vss365

Be sensible, they tell her. Keep both feet on the ground. But at night she dreams of flying. She gets higher with each swing. Higher. Higher. At the #apogee she lets go, between the #green grass and the #starry skies. And just for a second, she's flying. It's enough. #vss365 #whistpr #vssmagic

She is a stray word that wormed It’s way deep into my beating heart, Until my eyes showed the yearning All I should have known at the start. #poem #quatrain #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity

She haunted the attic. He lurked in the cellar. It could've been a #fine relationship. But he was a boogeyman; she was a ghost. They wanted different things, you know? In the #end, she took the kid. He ate the parents. Small #consolation. But at least they were tasty. #InkMine #whistpr #vss365

He was sweet and #suave. A proper Prince Charming. But it was the #principle of the thing, you see. Sometimes she just wished he was less #bashful and more...beastly. Like the old days. Plus, let's be honest: she kind of missed the fur. She always did like #sable. #vss365 #2wordprompt #InkMine

In this house we believe: - love is love - science is real - carbs are our friends - gravy can fill the cracks in your heart - turkey ghosts rule the night, and their terrifying gobble will one day find us all

Otto #understood things. Every crime solved; every mystery uncovered. Except the weird gaps in his own memory. And the Case of the Mirror Murderer, always one step ahead, leaving messages scrawled in blood. "Look in the mirror." All he sees is his own #reflection. Curious. #InkMine #vss365

She'd #timed it perfectly. But it was still close. Too close. A second after she activated the circle, the lights went out. Something cold and hungry moved in the dark, testing, #challenging. Waiting. Her wards held. But she couldn't relax. Not yet. This was only the overture. #vss365 #InkMine

Choose kindness. Choose love. Choose books, both fun & powerful. Choose a vehicle capable of outrunning the law, and fill it with banned books and friends who excel at a certain kind of mischief.

Count your #blessings, they told her. Stick to your lane. Know your place. But Beauty would not be bound, or #bent. Or broken. She was a whirlwind of #action, and where she went, change followed. And she'd rewrite the stars if that's what it took. #InkMine #whistpr #vss365

He's a market maker, you know? Trades in #options. Futures. Lives, #interrupted. Because butcher, baker or empire maker, everybody wants to be somebody else. He can make it happen...if the price is right. #Join the fun. Make an #offer. And remember: no backsies. #vss365 #2wordprompt #whistpr

The best time to plant a tree in your yard was ten years ago. The best time to build a wizard tower in your yard was five years ago. The best time to brew moonshine and invite the old gods of moss & mischief to share a drink in your yard is this very minute.

He wasn't exactly a #saint. But it was just supposed to be a #summer fling, you know? A little holiday romance. No feelings #involved. Now he feels the larvae moving inside him. #Feasting. Leaving him weak, and empty, and #hollow. It's so beautiful. #vssmagic #2wordprompt #InkMine #vssFantasy

She wasn't promised forever. "Your love will last as long as the #lantern burns," the fairy said. She didn't waste it. Just used it now and then, to remind them. When passions flared or faded; when they forgot. The usual #issues. It was enough - for a lifetime, and more. #vssFantasy #vss365
