#vss365 Toys with misplaced or missing parts, & toys that didn't look like or operate like other toys, were ghettoized on Misfit #Island. Toy producers said that abnormal toys should be deported to the island to prevent the normalization of differences. Some said they should be exterminated.

#FromOneLine 431 She counted the bells, tolling gloomily in the coal-stained fog clinging to the cobblestones. The sour mist reeked of roasting mutton, cheap pipe tobacco, & the sulphur of coal fires. She counted the bells over the clatter of iron-rimmed wheels & the cries of street urchins.

#vss365 A needle-like ship with a dragon's head #sailed on the magnetic fields between stars and planets. The helmsman kept the dragon's aluminized polymer sail facing sunward, while the steersman chanted rowing songs to synchronize the oarsmen, who rowed using ion-drive paddles.

#vss365 A big black dog escaped the Demeter when it ran aground near Whitby #harbour. Quayside mariners said they saw no dog but a monstrous man bounding on all fours up to the abbey, & claimed he had red eyes and sharp teeth. Searchers never found the creature but did see a bat among the ruins.

#FromOneLine 430 The fields are black like a moonless sky, & even the stars have fled—a void heavy enough to be touched by creatures of the night. Vamps hollowed out crypts deep in the earth. Weres used their victims' bones to create lairs in the loam, where unspeakable horrors shrieked & squirmed.

#vss365 The blue expanse stretched from the northern city skyline to the southern mountain range, separated by a plain of geometric fields. Above, a wandering #cloud sailed the blue like a lone car on an unused highway. The cloud felt lonely & miserable, for Wordsworth was nowhere to be found.

#vss365 Caught fencing souls to Astaroth & his soul-eating spawn, DEATH waited on Life Row for either the governors' #reprieve or corporealization. Inhabiting flesh & bone filled him with dread. The horror of facing daily routines—showering, shaving, brushing teeth, & deodorizing sounded awful.

#vss365 A winged creature of light, covered in eyes, rested under an oak in Ephrah, & it called for the thresher of wheat. When the thresher saw the vision, he became aware of his lack of #purity. His soul felt as if it were robed in a lead garment, & he fell to his knees under the weight.

#vss365 The monks of Farne #renounced life, the universe, and everything. They retreated to their stasis tubes and slept in a dreamless state. Nourished on a thin, oat-free gruel, and a vapor free of oxygen and hydrogen molecules, the sect ceased to be within three to seven days.

#vss365 It was the day of #reckoning, and every soul had to remove their armor of excuses and listen to their entry in the ledger of the dead and the living. Our sandcastles of illusion built to protect our pride were washed away leaving us exposed in the mirror that does not lie.

#vss365 A savory steak, grilled to perfection, melted in her mouth like butter. Its subtle metallic tang suggested that the steer had grazed in Hawaii. It was a dreamlike feast. "Another case of the #Hungers," said a bot watching the hibernating occupant of a Somnolent Pod chew imaginary food.

#vss365 The photon sail caught the solar wind, & our catamaran #embarked into the space eddies. We rivered through fluid vortices, fighting the pull of a black hole's tightening swirls, heaving & pitching in turbulent plasma instabilities. These dangers are nothing compared to The Sirens of Sirius.

#vss365 It was a dark & #stormy night. A night not fit for man or beast. Which was fine, for she, an unearthly night creature was neither. Cloaked in thunder & freezing rain, windows rattled as they were peppered with ice. Her cold howls made streetlamps flicker & die. This night belonged to her.

#vss365 Cailleach traveled the shadowy ocean of hot plasma, gently turning over the #infant universe, preventing its premature end. The blinding fury of the first moment was over. Now she waited in the expanding twilight for the day when she would ignite stars and roll planets on their starpaths.

#vss365 She #commenced with her #autumnal salad, a rather sad affair. Dewdrops from the morning mist laced a cobweb, gracing the red, orange, and purple foliage dripping with golden maple syrup, and she yearned for the flavors of summer’s garden vegetables.

#vss365 A fleet of cut-glass jelly bowls full of trifle quivered through space at uber limespeed. A simple tap with a spoon on the jelly made the fruit #mélange vibrate at the petahertz frequency. The fruity vibrations captured by the sherry-soaked sponge cake powered the lime-ion engines.

#vss365 With a barrage of AWOOGAS, & squeaky honk-honks, Killer Klowns advanced, shooting water jets from squirty flowers. #Intuitively, Sal Ubered a fleet of mini minors circa 1966, & the Klown regiment filed passively into the minis and were whisked away to amusement parks, parades, and circuses.

#vss365 In search of the #elixir of life, Jed walked the Dragon Trail. Its hot, scale-like path scorched & blistered his soles. He suffered paper-cut-like injuries walking through the sharp emerald grass of Zhejiang province. At the end of his journey, a Taotie offered him a cup of Yorkshire tea.

#vss365 As I walked through the landscape of her mind, I was captured by a starfield created by sparking neurons above me. A #gloved hand unfolded #tissue- thin memories, while hopes and dreams appeared in warm fuzzy outlines awaiting the crystalline solidity of becoming set goals.

#vss365 Bereaved partners sued the Thunderhead #Pillow Company for the untimely deaths of their somniphile partners. While the Cumulonimbus-down pillow was soothing and sleep-inducing, the bolster puddled whenever a thunderstorm was nearby, and many Thunderhead Pillow users drowned in their sleep.

#vss365 Tripping over a mop handle, Ren fell face-first into a #sponge. She disappeared into one of its many holes, ricocheting off the sponge's sides like a steel sphere in a pinball machine. As she fell deeper into its interior, hunger overtook her, & she wished she'd fallen into a donut hole.

#vss365 Sal watched a white rabbit fall into a black hole at the far end of her garden. She interlaced solar flares arcing from the sun with the spaces between her heartbeats & made a #cord, which she secured around flowering fairy thimbles, & lowered herself into the hole in search of the rabbit.

#vss365 With a flick of her wrist, she released three 8-sided #dice, which tumbled across the expanse. As the 512 numerical permutations flashed, the void’s geometry folded. Time contracted. Space stretched. Stars, planets, & life emerged & vanished. All depended on the outcome of the roll.

#vss365 King's executioner, Blod, wielded the sharpest axe in Fenmoor. On a day of execution, just a glint of the #razor-sharp blade in the eye of an enemy of the state was enough for a head to self-decapitate, roll to the nearest pike, & skewer itself as a courtesy to the precisely milled axe head.

#vss365 At the School of Fish, Black Cod, the best of cod, secured the artisan & highly sought-after Yumi Nakamura copper #kettle for the popular fish, while the socially isolated finfish trawls huddled in the rims of tires & discarded boxes, & debris on the seabed.

#vss365 Rosie worked the mead hall, listening to the minstrels chant their tales of creatures & kingdoms at the world's end. Their bewitching tales made the odor of the bar of rendered fat bearable, while she #soaped away the previous night's affairs: dislodged teeth, congealed blood, & matted hair.

#vss365 She returned the Run-a-Comb-Thru-Your-Hair to the counter after seeing a Walk-A-Comb, which promised an effortless, yet tidy presence. But she chose a #comb with crooked tines. "That's a bedhead comb," said the vendor. "For a tousled hairstyle that trades perfection for lived-in texture."

#vss365 Sally removed a slender stick from a #matchbox and ran through unmown grass chasing fireflies that took to the air. Each time the stick she held touched a firefly's lantern, the fly deposited a bead of red phosphorus at the tip. The game of tag continued until she had a box full of matches.

#vss365 The #remotes were considered a new class of missing people. Not so much people who had disappeared, but people who were misplaced by family members. The remotes were often found hidden between sofa cushions, lying under furniture, or carelessly placed in the refrigerator or a drawer.

#vss365 Yesterday's had piled up, tattered and faded like a stack of old magazines in a doctor's office. Deb turned the pages of her memories, recounting old stories and gazing at the keepsake photos captured by her mind. Remembering how she had mistreated friends and family made her feel #ashamed.

#vss365 As Jim descended at 120 mph in free fall, he noted that #cling film is good for sealing bowls and casserole dishes. However, the film did not provide the cling-adherence he had desired for scaling a sheer rock face.

#vss365 A mist summoned by twilight wreathed gravestones & marble angels in stillness. High in a yew tree's branches, a creature trilled & fixed its #evil eye on red brick houses beyond a meadow. The creature abandoned its perch, swooping low on leathery wings toward a soft yellow light in a window.

#vss365 Dennis planned to quit in spectacular, flamboyant fashion and chose to #defenestrate through the picture window in his office 25 floors up. For added panache, he ran Naruto-style. Failing to account for the strength of the tempered glass window, he hit the pane like a bug on a windshield.

#vss365 An error in a black hole recipe left Ruth with another #batch of gravastars. A costly failure. She tried to recoup her loss by selling the cosmic bubbles as the next boba. Sadly, consumers of the Gravastar boba were ripped apart at the molecular level. Fizzing away as raw energy.

#vss365 Dark Speed galactic liners were designed for leisurely voyages through space. The ship's crew encouraged travelers to stop and smell the redshift. To #putter aimlessly around the decks without purpose or destination. Loitering was urged, and seizing the day could earn one time in the brig.

#vss365 It was a simple braided cord laced with pinpricks of primordial fire. At one end of the cord was a metal ring. The other end of the cord disappeared into the cosmos. Attached to the ring was a tag: Pull To #Undo The Universe. Stella slipped a finger through the ring and tugged.

#vss365 After an interminable struggle, Betty stood by a table, hacksaw in hand, smiling. It was a #victory of sorts. The beheaded victim lay on the table, flat, convex discs spilling from its neck. She picked up two of the discs and swallowed them. "Childproof cap my ass," said Betty.

#vss365 Lightning seared the dark, while a torrent of rain impeded Stormy & Night, who were carrying a #Midnight Hour over the Cheviot Hills toward Chillingham Castle. 100+ ghosts at the castle waited for Stormy & Night to arrive because haunting is prohibited when the Dead of Night is absent.

#vss365 A troubadour emptied a flask of #primitive fire on a stack of wood, and as flames licked & curled around the kindling, creatures & humankind flared. "Tell us about what we see," said the folk around the bonfire, & the troubadour revealed the #wonderous stories cast in smoke & flame.

#vss365 It was a map of an unknown world, a continent of mashed potato and various orange & green vegetable islands in a thin film of congealed gravy for an ocean, the #remnants of last night's meal. The pleasant aroma of the meal now a stagnant flat odor, Palatability Lost, Milton might have said.

#vss365 He sought purification in the Ganges. Chalice Well offered no spiritual healing. Every time he rose from the water, the souls of millions who died in his slaughterhouses awaited him with torments. #Immersion in the Jordan, Lake Titicaca, & the Sacred Cenote couldn't wash away his evil crime.

#vss365 My life felt as threadbare as my favorite aged tee, soft, comfortable, & as sheer as frosted glass. The threads #tethering my soul are as taut as a bowstring, where even the waft of a butterfly wing might snap them. And as I walk into the shadows, my bones have acquired an unfamiliar weight.

#vss365 The Count's kiss #lingered in the form of two puncture wounds on her neck, along with the bliss of perforation, which was going to make her next date with the Count less agreeable. The wooden stake strapped to her thigh irritated her skin, & soon she'd use it to irritate the Count's heart.
