[1/2] I've never seen the moon exert its power this way before. Beyond the tides, its pull invades realms deep within our souls, attempting to draw out the unknowable evil it assumes is plaguing us.

Hope is a powerful thing. When there's no way in sight, it can guide you. When you are out of strength it can renew you. Yet, hope is a living thing. It must be fostered and sustained. It can be born of one, but thrives among many. And if cared for, it will tell the story of what it survived.

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

“Understand?” She nodded once, then bounded from the park bench. Her friend waited. “Get in trouble?” “Something about I shouldn’t #associate with the wrong kind.” She shrugged. “Wrong kind of giraffe?” The little girl swung from the bars. “Adults are weird.” #vss365

I’ve never seen the moon, quite like this, hung up on a string, against a cardboard sky with the scene you’ve prepared for me #fromoneline 363 #poetry

So love doesn't follow all the rules Bodies just vessels to hold It’s the inside that matters What feeds quenches us We’re all beautiful In somebodys minds eye The place time unforseen Till the flutters of a big bang within Become the #associate to bind Us as one #vss365

The #advert for the next dlc flashed up as Rory logged in. It looked incredible, with a ton of exclusive free stuff, but he had others to consider now. Well, Katie. Then again, she was as mad for the game as him, mostly or so.. A chewed lip and a click and he had it on pre order. #vss365

So strange to see a world Outlined in adverts selling Selling selling A March of rights Humans think they have Commenting on animals adapting Yet humans carry on Imposing demanding citing Rights rights rights Humans have forgotten how To adapt To a dying world Which needs giving Not taking #vss365

When she spotted the dour chef's glower, The young baker-in-training would cower. She was desp'rate to bail, For he'd rail, "Sour! Stale!" ... And then shower the "culprit" with #flour. #DailyHaikuPrompt #Flour #Limerick #Limericks #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #PoetryCommunity

Velak's followers are weathered in a way bolstered by corruption. By the need to do anything to avoid being alone with themselves. Velak only associates with them when it needs worship energy. This is hard to maintain from any being close and alone with it. #horrorprompt #vss365 #associate

Spell makes time go as a blur, but the curse is how much hollow voices trip you up - how they fit time like a glove it never replaces. The curse is how much you don't, and in this spell, you must still figure out how to utilize the time on their side. #vss365 #blur #horrorprompt
