I loved camping for the return it offered to an almost #primordial state: just nature & me. When society collapsed, others sought my help. Lasted a week before I ensured I was the last one #awake; fled. Left a #letter & some fruit, though. Hope they made it. #vss365 #vssdaily #blueskyrelay #vsspic

Ann’s car was old; it’s #speaker crackled, the exhaust #pipe rattled, & the Windows squeaked. She loved each #flaw however—they gave her vehicular #sanctuary a more vintage, #authentic feel: her favourite vibe. #vss365 #vssdaily #vsspic #blueskyrelay #inkMine

Dee sighed contentedly as she snuggled into her bed. The #key to joy, it seemed to her, was in the little things—like successfully #plotting to have her humans move the bed to a window, or the #peaceful warmth of a #sunbeam. Dee’s sighs soon turned to snores. #vss365 #vssdaily #blueskyrelay #dogsky

A while labrahuahua snuggles into her gray fluffy bed, basking in a sunbeam.

Logic #absent, he made an #adventurous #vow: He’d climb the tower, #tie his #scarf to the top. It became his #final act (slipped). #vss365 #vssdaily #inkMine #blueskyrelay #vsspic

I sped past the #canal, alert. There’d been rumour of a local #predator, but the #winter cold was bad & this a shortcut. I saw a woman reading posters; said, “I wouldn’t linger.” “Right! Safer to walk together?” I agreed, missing her crossed fingers—& the gun. #vss365 #vssdaily #vsspic #blueskyrelay

“Your Honor in my #defense: I didn’t try to #bribe the cop. He looked sad; I wanted to spread #joy & #pink is a happy color! You know blue is sad & red is #mad, like your face…the 50s were pink so it seemed appropriate. I’m sure you agree. I rest my case.” #vss365 #inkMine #blueskyrelay #vssdaily

I follow the #red EXIT like an #anglerfish light; run out of the store & into a lunch board. “You ok?” My coworker asks. “Bad prank, to cut the #power & chase me,” I scowl. Color drains from his face like sand in an #hourglass. “I’ve been here, no #lie.” Wtf? #vss365 #vssdaily #blueskyrelay #vsspic

Ian felt #heavy as his #Eclipse smoked in the fading #light. “Sorry Ma, tow will be a bit.” “In that #case, let’s go there!” She led Ian to a bar. “Pool?” She asked, a #light in her eyes. Ian bought them beer; she racked up. “Happy Mother’s Day!” They chugged. #vss365 #vsspic #blueskyrelay #vssdaily

Tara cracked open a door & snuck into the old theatre. Sunlight softened via a dusty window illuminated the dark #wood stage, & marble trim. Tara’s #jeans seemed incongruous with the #secouth aura the space still radiated; even so, she smiled. It was perfect. #vss365 #vssdaily #blueskyrelay #vsspic

After a mortifying #mondegreen on a date (he’d thought it was “Smoke on the Walter, fire engine guy,”) Sal tried to think of an #exit #plan. Then his date, Lee, dragged him to a dartboard. Desperate, he tried a throw: bullseye! “Good job…Walter,” Lee winked. #vss365 #vssdaily #blueskyrelay #vsspic

The thief’s inner child enjoyed his latest steal: wind-up teeth toys. Then came a #nightmare that his teeth fell out while eating a #waffle. Awake, he began to hear…chattering. He fell ill; a #gastroscopy found teeth in his stomach. He returned the toys. #vss365 #vssdaily #horrorprompt #vsspic

They cut through the fog; the love they radiate burns it away like the sun’s rays, yet is delicate as a #flower petal’s touch. #vsspic #inkMine

Their fires, meant to scare, instead inspired: showed flames so hot water turned to steam. We joined, via #trial_and_error together as one voice, one #howl. Our #Indivisibility made Them harmless steam. #vss365 #vsspic #BlueSkyRelay #inkMine

The #interregnum had stretched too long—citizens’ #understanding? Thin. The regime’s distraction plan: #jam the sky with pretty lights. #vsspic #vss365 #vssdaily #BlueSkyRelay

Panic began to #disjoint me. My #pomeranian had run into this...place. Was she ok? I turned & saw a dark figure on the stairs, holding my pup. A #syzygy of joy & fear hit. It passed her to me; I shakily thanked it for its #assistance. It tipped its hat. #vss365 #vssdaily #blueskyrelay #BSR #vsspic

What’s happening to the snow? Harder now to be #incognito; can’t easily hide from calls to come inside. The return of outdoor #diversity in colour leads to such adversity - but also, at least, to spring & the fun that season will bring! #vss365 #vssdaily

Blue, transferred from a #science lab, felt like an #opsimath next to veterans of The Butterly #Emporium. “You’ll do great,” a new friend said, giving her a #drop of confidence. This became a flood when they were surrounded by admirers, snapping pics. #vss365 #BlueSkyRelay #BSR #vssdaily #vsspic

Dee’s #lust for a wintry backyard adventure turned quickly to #nausea upon remembering snow is wet. She now longed for the #safe_haven of indoors instead, & realized it was time to #meditate on her choices. #vss365 #vssdaily #blueskyrelay

A small dog in a coat, who begged to go outside to play in the snow, stares angrily at the camera because she is now in the snow.

He asked her name; she Replied “Jessica”. “Like the #Rabbit?” he quipped, hoped The joke #disarmed her. In a Predictable #twist, she left. #vss365 #vssdaily #inkMine #vsspic

Mel was mid-haircut when her stylist slipped; sliced Mel’s carotid with scissors. “Get a #doctor!” The stylist called, horrified. “It’s okay,” Mel said. The blood began to #congeal, & the wound closed on its own. She noticed the stylist’s horror deepen; sighed. Time to go. #vss365 #vsspic #vssdaily

Eve reflected on the #crisscross of usual & unusual in different timelines. On a tennis court, surrounded by lemons instead of the rubber & felt balls she was used to, she decided this was a fun change. Could this be her new reality? Only one way to find out; she pulled up her app. #vss365 #vsspic

My fiancé just informed me that eating pomegranate seeds feels like chewing fruit with bones - I think I’ll have to work that into a #vss365 or #horrorprompt story soon 😆🦴 #fruitbones #WritingCommunity
