#vss365 You said you're a villainess An outcast out to get the world I see you... the real YOU Beneath the rage and isolation We both #harbour no ill will And that is all we share But what a similarity Hearts beating in tandem in grief... Skip a beat when seeing atrocity reign We... Are Same.

Shark blood coagulates As it hits the #harbour shore With bated breath A knife unzips The flesh Mr. D was a man Of few words— He inked the cosmos On his left arm His first love was swimming The silence hit Before the rot Mr. D's stars Went supernova In an acidic soup #vss365 #horror

You don't need to be the smartest, strongest, or fastest to succeed. You simply need to redefine success to include reading, napping, and eating your weight in fried potatoes.

Night night sweet dreamies Some days you’ll have the strength to take on the world. Other days, you’ll need to curl up, shut the world out for a little while and just rest. Both are okay. Learning to listen to yourself, rather than always pushing through, is important.

He shakes the scout to his senses. “Sed quid existis videre?” “Monstra!” The centurion squints. “Elephanti?” “Non ita! Horribilis, spineta lacertos!” A horn blows as the primus pilus and his legion see the Iberians charge… riding giant, spike-tailed sauropods. #vss #sff

Your daily affirmation: It's ok to feel out of place. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to become the haunted horror at the center of a haunted world.
