'It was long dead, this alien world, the land reshaped by the elements and stray asteroid strikes. Whatever had once thrived here had long ago passed, only random artifacts remained, breaking down over the aeons. Still, they looked up for fear of the child whose toys these had been.' #AlienWorlds

'The scars we bear are monuments to the damage done by those around us, by an uncaring world, and even wounds we inflict upon ourselves. The wounds may heal, after a fashion, but the marks remain, marring our appearance, both what the world sees, and how we perceive ourselves.' #Reminders #Trophies

Piss off orange man. Portland has it's own issues, like every city. However, in no way do we want or need any kind of federal troops. Trump has hated Portland for a long time and we knew this announcement would sooner or later. PDX strong. #resist

'Spring, summer, autumn, winter, the cycle starts anew and renews forever. The more life grows, the more it dies, the seeds it sows grow where it lies. What was is no more, what will be was before. Summer, autumn, winter, spring, death and birth, the next cycle bring.' #Renewal #Rebirth #NewHorizons

'When at last the age of ages ended, when after endless wars and more death and destruction than should have ever occurred, when after all the blood and fire, both sides came to see reason and peace silently settled upon the world, only then did both dragons and humans prosper.' #PeaceIsProsperity

"They misremembered and embellished every detail, the neighbor the boys had forayed against became a terrible dragon whom they had vanquished with a mighty spell, which happened to take the form of a water balloon, atop a high mountain in the forests of suburbia." #novel books2read.com/OnceUponALane

'All who know the flayed man's true origin are dead or mad. Of the many immortal abominations that walk the world and strike fear into even the bravest heart, sending any rational mind adrift, he should be the most feared of all. For his true name should be the Self-Flayed Man.' #BodyHorror #eldrich

It's always okay to say, "Have a great day!" It cost you nothing, could mean everything, and even if you never know the repercussion or resolution, your words likely lifted another up when they were at their lowest, reminding them that the world can be better.

Hey, y'all, Davis Bickford said...

'From before there was time, it was foretold of his coming. From the above the heavens and beyond the grave did the whispers and wailings warn the world of its wicked ways. Alas, now he has come, and lo did death, destroyer of worlds, look upon his kingdom, and saw that it was good.' #DeathKnight

'Waking when all are asleep, catching sight of passing dreams with wide eyes and infinite curiosity, the world can hold such potential, such promise. When we dream beyond our sanctuaries and sound sleeps, when we look to the stars and see a celestial sea, then we are truly free.' #TheStarsAbove

'Most think force must be met with greater force, that the greater the power of a foe, the stronger one must be to resist. And yet, the eagle flees from the crow, and tyrants fear those they oppress, not from strength, but from their persistence and determination to drive off predators.' #ResistNow

'Oh for the silent spaces, the sanctuaries of solitude where we can reflect on our lives, the world, and the very question of why anything is at all. Oh for the spots no one else wants or cares about, the sites for soul searching and serenity, where we can find or lose ourselves whenever we wish.'

Oh no. We got a disconnect notice on our power bill. It was due Wednesday, not today. The cycle got shorter? And I don't get paid this week because I was sick last week. So uh. I have until the 10th to scrape up spare change & bring in commissions. Consider my art, please? 🫡 ko-fi.com/enberlight

"There are no deer in these woods. Not for many generations now." "But, I swear I saw one!" "… A stag?" "Yes! Dark as night!" "That is no deer. That is the spirit of all the deer that once were and are no more. It haunts this forest. It is not a friendly spirit, not to mankind. We should go." #wilds

'Water does not wash away the scars or sorrows of the soul. Just one more dip into my own reflection, one more idle dream of drowning the me they all see, and perhaps I can emerge as they all want me to be. No, water does not hold the answer, it cannot wash away their lies.' #WhatWeSee #WhatWeAre

'Her home was all that remained here, these many generations since the cataclysm. It had been natural, though those that suffered as the world cracked and buckled beneath them cursed the gods, or cursed her and her magic. Her magics had saved her, and now, she lived here alone.' #microfiction #magic

Writers write, readers read. Not all writers read, but those that do write what readers read. #writingAdvice

Forget the rules, lose your #beatsheets, don't write to market, write for you. If your characters are compelling, if your prose is pretty, if your story is scintillating, if your world is wonderful, your story can take its time getting where in needs to go. #controversialtake #writers #writingadvice

'The evening sun always cast such an alluring hue upon the world. The hottest hours of the day were also the most colorful, when crimsons danced with deep oranges and vivid greens. Golden hour was more than just beautiful though, it was also when all sprites arose and played.' #microfiction #fairies

'Oh how frightened the whole world had been when they had first arrived, these unfathomably massive creatures from the depths of space. But beyond an interruption of air travel soon adapted around, they had proven gentle, playful, benign. Now the sky cephalopods were treasured.' #microfiction #scifi

'You and me, and every tree rise and fall with age. But you and me, unlike the tree, have but one long stage. When we fall, as must we all, our lives are measured by what we've dost. When all trees lose their leaves they are measured by what they've lost.'

'From the darkness I descend, my sword unsheathed, my blade unguarded, wet with the blood of all who oppose me, all who resist, all who stand up to my will. Into the light of day I tread, no guilt, no shame for my slaughter, no regrets, no remorse for the fallen.' #EvilIsAsEvilDoes #introspection

'From life, death, from death, life. All that is will fade away, all that will be will not stay. Cycles of seasons, seasons of being, endless repetition of propagation, expiration, fertilization, and germination. From the corpses of the old spring the young. From life, life.' #renewal #mementomori

'Red sky at night, all sailors delight. Red sky in morning, the same take warning. Should red moon bleed, all mages take heed, should skies shake and tremble, all wizards assemble. Red gasses greet, abandon square and street, Red skies muster, undead soon cluster.' #microfiction #poem #zombie

The Golden Rule is not enough. Many hate themselves, so treat others as they would treat themselves if a stranger, with less kindness than they'd show stray animals. No, to 'do unto others as you would they do unto you' in any way that makes a better world, first you have to become a better you.

'It had a hoard, as one would expect of a dragon. It had spent countless centuries collecting it, gathering it together in one place to guard and treasure forever. Yes, it had a hoard but it was a hoard of knowledge unmatched by any other. It hoarded not to possess but to preserve the written word.'

In case you didn't know, everyone should read @hntdove.bsky.social 's (many) books dealing with tyranny.

'There was no question who was king in this land, no question and no quarrel. The lord was terrifying and solitary, the subjects timid yet thriving. Though they duly feared their sovereign, they lived in peace. The dragon hunted elsewhere, and no threat intruded upon their home.' #microfiction

A few of my book covers #drawn by @andrefmsimoes.bsky.social , who is #CommissionsOpen for all my fellow #authors looking for stellar #coverart.

'It had been thousands of millennia since the world had been shattered in the great upheaval, and still there were places where life had not returned. Not but mosses and lichen now knew these rocks that had once been mountains. Not but birds and dragons hunted here. This was their ideal demesne.'

'They warned him of the wolves, they called them demons of death, devils of danger, and feral foes. All feared the beasts and hid in their homes when dusk fell into darkness and the howls arose at night. But he sought them out and earned their trust and learned their ways. Now he was their leader.'

Here's the cover without the title! 😊

I made the illustration and animation for the trailer of this game, Second Sun! store.steampowered.com/app/2085620/Se… There was a demo at steamfest and I totally forgot to show this 😅#gamem#gamingng

'The sun was rising, night was falling, and his strength was failing. It was past time to roost and rest, to recuperate until the stars shone once more and the small and the scared scurried in the dark, seemingly safe from all danger, safe from all, of course, but from him.' #owl #microfiction

'The stars of the firmament were once distant and dim, but the stag drew them closer in the sky. The world was once cold and dark, but the stag summoned the sun from among the stars and brought forth light and heat and all life flourished for its efforts.' #art #fantasyart #illustrator #epicart
