#vss365 #cloud I left the club a couple of hours later. A half-hearted dub act had gone through the motions; I wasn't in the mood to dance. I had a coded brief in my pocket, and Raincoat's request in my head. I needed to get to Schipol: clouds broiled forebodingly, obscuring the midnight moon.

You would prefer it was cloudy. It shows a kind of possibility people who prefer clear skies don't see readily, or at all. But it's not cloudy, and you've got to work around all the minds that don't see that kind of possibility..have to subtract a bit more than you'd like. #writemap #vss365 #cloudy

She hopped from one fluffy #cloud to the next til she reached the veranda, where father slept under a blanket of sky, dreams bubbling out of his ears. A jester recited poetry, while juggling rabbits and the dying sun, weeping pearls, was chased by ill bred children. #vss365

Our daughter Lily, four, has a #cloud she keeps. It followed the car home from Blackpool in June. It sits over the house now and it only rains on the garden, at night. Dad has a lawn he's proud of. He’s not moaned about the weather since, and he’s stopped going on about the hosepipe ban. #vss365

Puffy with excitement, we moved through their existence. We were filled. No hunger tolerated in their wishes. A drug, we were a #cloud in their minds. Intense was the collapse of reality. #vss365

All the man had to do was #renounce his faith in the demonic entity that, quite honestly, couldn’t care less whether the man died or not. He was nothing more than a teeny-tiny cog in a vast conspiratorial scheme among many demonic schemes. That was the way of the game world, really. #vss365

Dylan didn’t do enthusiasm. Not unless it came to Magpie. He did the job in front of him and made the best of it. He couldn’t #sustain any interest in things unless he forced himself by sheer will to keep going. Like now, doing this job. He hated it. Wanted to do more, but he endured. #vss365

When they come, no one was afraid. In the past, they did the only thing. They tried to #sustain hope. It was all they had. Coming together for wishes and dreams, monsters sought to devour them. The love for humanity never quelled In the face of them, then, or ever. #vss365

The invite withered under delightful songs. Bravery did not guide him further than the dying leaves. They cried for the passing of nature's youth, the coming of #autumnal remembrance. A twinkle in the eye of mother shined when dewdrops reflected glee. #vss365
