#vss365 #FirstLine Being Chief Conjurer of Oldbridge, Massachusetts, is like Odysseus listening to the #siren song: the power might drive you mad, but you have to face it while keeping everyone else from hearing it so they stay safe.

"Sages say #sin is disobedience; immoral selfishness. Sin led to downfall. Looking from the other side, downfall was gravity, motion, direction. Without down, no up. Sin is to create, decide, shape, choose," he waved me over, "Come look from here. You decide. Who's guilty? Vote up or down?" #vss365

#vss365 #FirstLine Being Chief Conjurer of Oldbridge, Massachusetts, is like being a kind of #sin eater: you do the hard things and darken your soul so nobody else has to, without even a cake or a bit of bread as recompense.

For centuries, sin-eating was a funerary tradition grudgingly tolerated by The Church. Usually a reviled individual on the edge of society, the sin-eater went to funerals and ate bread or cake off the coffin, absorbing the deceased’s sins and thus allowing them to speed through purgatory. Presumably, they hoped someone would do the same for them, when the time came.

The fear was caving the man in, & that was his problem, right? A metallic hand reached out and touched his shoulder. The sirens went off. Right ... thought the man. If any being should know what's beyond edgy, it was one that had to be programmed to even get built. Stiff upper lip. #vss365 #scififri

In some ways, Tarkar’s Bridge was much like an #island, separated from the rest of the world, yet still a part of it, requiring a hardy nature to reach. It brought with it it’s own customs and traditions. It’s own ways and means. And visitors. Outsiders unaware of how things worked there. #vss365

Distant cries echoed and it was clear danger lurked where the ocean was deepest. So did the gold they coveted. When her song soothed their worries all evil would be washed away. Today's #vss365 #prompt is #siren.

It was a #sin to do this, it was a sin to do that. With all the things Marge was told were a sin, she might as well sit her room and wait for the end times. So she took her vows and became a nun, because it seemed like the most fun way to corrupt others. Those young nuns were just so cute. #vss365

We don't believe in #sin, but we do enjoy it from time to time. The good stuff. The sin you would never tell your mother about, though she probably enjoyed hers in her time. The kind of sin that makes the neighbours blush and avoid eye contact in the street. I'll ask for forgiveness later. #vss365

Silk tangled. A moment buffeted by wind. I watch paper wings flutter as they are caught in threads no longer pristine. I pause and consider if interference is some deadly sin. I carefully free the moth from the web. No passive observer but an interfering god am I. #vss365 sin #vssdaily moment

The strangest thing wasn’t Dad being on Desert #Island Discs. It was that he’d chosen a Queen song. He hated Queen. Also strangely, my violent ex had just been found dead. Wait. “Just killed a man…” I pictured Dad miles away reclining against a palm tree as By The Sleepy Lagoon faded out. #vss365
