~aftermath~ I cannot navigate the #geography of loss I don’t know these valleys or how to scale the cliffs I hear a stream nearby but where is it? I want the fresh water I am cold and dry the brambles catch pulling skin to find blood I am covered, blanketed in a constellation of wounds #vss365

#vss365 #prompt #Nov6 Good morning! The next word from my Xword book index is #geography - not one of my better subjects from school, though I enjoyed drawing maps. I still prefer real maps - if I don't know where I am now, how can GPS tell me where to go next?

we are from different cities with different accents I've never told you I don't get half of what you say but guys from my #geographical region don't make my heart race if love has a different language yours and mine are the same #vss365

I am obsolete: The new battle drones outclass me. My programing is also now divergent: Unlike them, I am sapient and know fear. I had no choice in being built for war on humanity. Or in my resurrection by its refugees. But today I choose— To protect. #vss #sff

#vss365 famous novelist shuns pens and keys for whiteboards they’re remarkable #famous

Most people do their jobs, maintain a family, educate their children, retire, and die of old age. They do not become #famous. Are their lives meaningless? Living a life of contentment and without regret is a life well-lived. What truly matters is valuing ourselves. #vss365

#Famous last words I don’t think I have any Just look at the stars & from time to time remember me #vss365

#vss365 #prompt #Nov5 Morning all! When I flew from my then home in Tenerife to meet an agent, my kids hoped I'd become rich and famous. Unfortunately he turned out to be a scammer, which is partly why I have self-published my books. At least I can trust me! Today's word is #famous. Have fun!

Their spiteful plans grow They fear the #educated Burning all our books #vss365 #haiku

When I was but A high school lad My “crush” Wore #Daisy Dukes Those short shorts had My young loins sprung And that’s The gospel truth I sometimes tripped Bashed into walls As her legs I perused My education Threatened by My puberty’s Cruel ruse #vss365

there is no #education that teaches the way we are wanderers through shadows of the day searching for connection for a heart that stays learning dreams together because beauty never fades. #vss365

There were options, within the game, to perform small quests, or big ones, for people and organisations and, as part of the reward, they would provide an #education in certain skills. Rory didn’t want to take those shortcuts with Esme. He wanted her to learn her skills naturally, by doing. #vss365

Dylan had new recruits. Young pilots in their first ships, hoping to make names for themselves while forgetting the imminent dangers involved. They would need a hard #education to make them realise this wasn’t a game and that the only prize, the only graduation would be their survival. #vss365

We need a different kind of #education not just another brick in the wall. Not bound by reservation but free & fair A syllabus that unites not divides that teaches peace, not war. We need books that breathe love with lessons that shape gentle hands & open hearts ~rev #vss365

Love, hate and jealousy, are inherited, human emotions. Be the better guy and turn the other cheek, are a pacifists #education. #vss365

My education never took me high up in a mountain or sailing round the seven seas I was never taught to love and be loved It just sent me on some unknown destiny #education #vss365

"It's quite an #education, isn't it. A book." Mother tapped the seat beside her for Gee to sit. "We begin empty. An opening line. A chapter. And then, if it hooks us, on we go, wanting, but not, to reach its end. And after: the promise of another." Her eyes shone. "We're near 'The End'." #vss365

'Members of the council. Our town is plagued by Werewolves and Zombies. May I introduce Gornan the #Creature Slayer. He is here to save us.' 'Oh no, umm, I'm actually Gordon the Bleachers Surveyor. Here to examine the seats in the sports stadium.' 'Oh for fuck's sake.' #vss365

Last night I saw My neighbours cat yawn In a place she should not have been But at the sight of her cute paw I bit my cheek and let her sleep On my dogs comfy bed It was fine no break of a law He’s at my other neighbours place In love with their cheeky parrot #FromOneLine #poetry

#vss365 #prompt #Nov3rd Morning all! When I went to infant school, we had free milk at playtime & after-lunch naps on tiny camp beds. How things have changed for my grandchildren! Now even 5 year-olds use computers. Today's word from my xword book index is #education.

This was a strange quest for Rory, but it fit right in his new character’s purview. Not so much a fetch quest as a little #domestic organisation for a family with a sick child. Gathering ingredients for a potion that was right up Esme’s alley. There weren’t a whole lot of quests like it. #vss365

'I finally bought the new #Domestic Bot 3000. On the plus side, it does the housework, cooks dinner, mows the lawn, and feeds the dog.' 'That's amazing. You'll have so much more free time now.' 'You'd think. The downside is I have to work 90-hour weeks to pay for it.' #vss365
