‘How long have you worked at this aquarium?’ ‘Forever.’ ‘You have a favorite?’ ‘There’s one species that I tend to
#exalt
over all the others. The dolphins.’ ‘Why?’ ‘Most people don’t know this, but they used to walk on land.’ ‘Really?’ ‘Yeah. Then evolution de-feeted the porpoise.’

One day I found A magic pen— Tall tales It would create Yarns spun and bound To please, confound, And always…
#Fascinate
I read With rapt attention In hopes one day I might learn To, like that pen, Write stories Whose own pages Yearn to turn

"Give me a hat to
#fascinate
!" I begged the harried hatter, "With hues of marv'lous scarlet red and on the top, a feather." Well, I got the hat I craved - it dazzled many a guy poor Harry could not move his gaze and ended up cross-eyed!

He was
#spellbound
– had weighed the cost of the spell and been wrong, paid too much. They estimated it would be months before he could move again, the magic draining him of all energy except his life force itself to settle the debt. At least the dam still stood.

More games should have a cowardly baby mode. More games should let me suffer less consequences for dying or mistakes. Should have a "I just want the story" mode. Games should not pride themselves on "look how difficult we are". I'm bad at video games and I wanna experience the good stories too :c

The sun is

through the dusty windows. My breaths come quick and quiet, the ground beneath me watered with my
#blood
. This was a temporary building, like my body, broken open by the
#wound
. I don't know who to blame. It is getting so dark. I look for the stars.
