“Your #cloud atlas is discombobulated.” “My what?” “Cloud atlas.” “I’m convinced you just pulled that term out of your ass.” “No, it’s a thing.” “Know what else is a thing?” “What?” “How much I detest your crunchy granola bullshit.” “See?” “Shaddup!” #vss365

The back room in a #tavern isn’t the best #habitat for a teetotalers’ meeting, but if it’s the only place available, #what the heck. It’s not like there’s a dark #cloud or any cloud hanging over them. The #volume should be lower in that room, too. #vss365 #vssdaily #2wordprompt #thingstowriteabout

Greg flipped through the dictionary. “If #renouncing something is rejecting it, then nouncing it is half rejecting it. You nounce it and nounce it again, but if it gets too nounced, you can denounce it.” Maria raised an eyebrow. “The dictionary really says that?” “I’m parrot phrasing.” #vss365

On Planet Cinema, if you #talk during a #visit to the #movies, you have to #renounce your citizenship. Then you're slumming it on TV World, where the streams go on and on and nobody knows what to watch. Those that can remember long to return to the Betamax Dimension. #vss365 #2wordprompt #vssdaily

One last look at the world she’s leaving behind. #VSS365 renounce #VSSMagic sparks #Emoetry lonesome
27.09.26

Her bag was already packed, ready to renounce this life she had led. Her former friends though her dead, or at least gone through to another realm. All vestiges of her life was now far behind her. 

She was through with her lonesome life, ready to find friends anew. Maybe even someone special. Someone among that new continent full of people. 

Outside the land was celebrating, sparks lit up the sky in patterns the wielders that were left could make. 

Malin didn’t stay to look at the displays, instead letting the shadows take her to that spot she’d found in her dreams. Ready for a new life.

A priest of one of the Patrons had once caught Ilyna. He had prayed for her and begged her to #renounce her dastardly, thieving ways. She had left him stripped and tied to his altar as she left with a sack of gold and robes for disguises. She didn’t want redemption. She wanted excitement. #vss365
