Dying light doesn’t give the living a second thought Even when a sunset bequest springs forth Spry rain in sly agreement won’t give the undeserved a single, terrifying drop #vss365 #bequest #poetrysky #inkMine #spry #poetsofbluesky #Photography #ECK #WCK #OurPoetryX #terrify 💙📷 me

Built on deceit and crafted lies, the elaborate facade you framed will implode beneath its own heavy weight.  No honour do you #bequest, only division, fracture, and hate. We will stand and watch you fall. For that, I'm afraid, is your fate. ~rev #vss365

There was no #reprieve from a life in #Slow #Town. After, living anywhere else just feels #plain wrong. Bodies become like trees with skin turning to #bark. But nothing compares to putting down solid roots in a fast universe and finally being able to breathe #vss365 #2wordprompt #vssmagic #vssdaily

And with a puff of fairy dust, Tod, the Elfin King, disappeared. Brit was dumbfounded. Was that a confession? Did Tod kill those people? Did he even exist? The phone rang; a #reprieve from driving herself mad. ‘This is the FCIS, Folklore Creatures Investigation Service’ #vss365
