“I always feel like I’m forgetting something important,” you explain, your hands #clinging to the arms of the chair. “Another life, somewhere far away.” “It’s just anxiety,” your therapist says, offering you another handful of pills. But when you step outside, the sun has lost its twin. #vss365

You fall in love with someone who always wears sunglasses. When you finally get them to take them off, they have googly eyes. Suddenly you realize you've been dating a sock puppet. You can't be together. Your love is forbidden.

She found the old warrior’s bones by the stream, moldering with mycelium. She buried them under a patch of dirt in her garden & #tended to them w/ daily waterings of sow’s blood. When harvest season came, he clawed his way out of the mud & kissed the feet of the witch, his new master. #vss365

Kill all Wizards by Jedediah Berry is a bloody fantasy romp filled with fun characters. The irreverent tone of the narrator and the touches of real emotion and horror makes me look forward to the next chapter of the barbarian Gotchimus’ adventure! #reading #fantasybooks #books

Rory moved warily through the extensive gardens, avoiding the people that stopped to #tend to the flowers, probably the weeds, too. They didn’t act like enemies, but he knew some NPC’s could turn in an instant if you did the wrong thing. Like step on a geranium, or something like that. #vss365

When my Grandpa got sick, the doctor said he needed a new skeleton. Dad wanted to take him home and DIY it, but human bones #tend to be pretty expensive. I got some cheap rubber bones from the pet store. It seemed like a good idea at first, but after that, Grandpa got chased by dogs a lot. #vss365

He stood above the inky bowl of #creation. When he dipped his hand in, he admired its ripples & the trails of cosmic dust that brushed against his fingertips. Draining the last drops of ichor from the dead gods’ veins, he could undo the fates & finally bring her home. #vss365

Well, this was obviously a trap, or, at best, a test of conviction, of morals. On the one hand, the #temptation of riches. On the other, a prisoner, condemned for murder. A simple lever releasing one or the other. But Rory played Esme with a definite morality. She could not choose wealth. #vss365
