There is nothing timid about the Ouroboros when it starts to devour its own tail. There is no stepping back from this decision. It has accepted its fate. A never-ending existence of meeting itself where it both ends and begins. #vss365

#vss365 A woman in a crown of spoons knelt before a puddle and tried to translate its ripples into Latin. She sighed, “The #quest for clarity always begins with shimmering confusion.” A passing jogger stopped, cupped some of the water, and poured it over his head like a benediction.

Have you ever seen The inners of a Dragon ? There’s no guts wrapped In trenches of blood No bones to take home For gifts of the glory Of my mountainous quest All I have are scars, From a beast bursting Full of just glory and fire And the Phoenix Witch’s lies #vss365 #quest

#vss365 #prompt Feb 28 His #quest was one of solitude unbroken. Effort unseen. Hunting dragons in the north country, among the bogs, the icy winters, and blood-sucking bugs of summer. Sweat-stiffened leather jerkin molded to his body. It was his purpose.

#vss365 The beauty of a hummingbird is speed disguised as stillness. It hovers above a flower, wings, with insane #velocity, blur. I watch, dazzled, realizing that grace is not the absence of effort but its perfect disguise.

#vss365 #prompt Feb 27 Everything he #obsessed over in life gone. The sea taketh... Eyes once gazed upon treasure, now pearls. Flesh once pampered and moisturized now replaced by coral. Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange.

A screengrab of a long skeet draft. It reads:

"#vss365 He had to be careful with the power to dematerialise and materialise at will and to teleport from one place to another. Mainly as he was unable to control it all the time. Out in the sticks it wasn't a huge problem. Less moving parts. But in the city, it was murder. 

He had to see a place in his mind's eye before sending himself there. 

The punch to his chest, threatened to collapse his ribs and crush his heart. But the #velocity from the impact made it tricky to materialise himself to safety.

He never saw the next blow land, having found himself partially materialised from a breeze block wall - his head still encased in suffocating cement and his legs dangling twenty feet from the ground."

#vss365 #prompt Feb 26 Once orbital #velocity is reached, you travel so fast that you're always in free fall but never get closer to Earth. Each moment a balance of speed and vulnerability. Our love is the same, each outrunning our fears, constant motion, eternal commitment.

#vss365 Lunatrick Mischievous moon flicks a slithered grin at Earth. Tides misplace themselves, roads fold like marked cards. A wind, thin as snakeoil, hisses, “Guess again.” And the planet, slow to notice, finds its weather gone orbital. #orbital

It's loud down here. Let's go somewhere quiet. Let's hike over the moors and find a space just for us. Hopefully there's a cloudless sky. We can lay on our backs and chat until night. Then we can look up and trace fingers across the #stellar polka dots. What will we see? It doesn't matter. #vss365

A series of #stellar flares in 1859 had a terrifying though little-known effect. Any vampire created on that night gained immunity to the sun’s rays. The affected fledglings were destroyed, but rumors of “dawn-born” that escaped the culling persist to these very nights. #vss365 #microfiction
