It’s a strong move to leave a new acquaintance something to remember you by.

Once it is published I will share a link. Here's one of the three drawings Tandye (@werebit.bsky.social) did for it.

A grey and black illustration of a werewolf curled up asleep. It's covered in blood. In the foreground, a severed hand lays in a pool of blood.

i must not produce takes. takes are the mind-killer. takes are the little death that produce total obliteration. i will face my takes. i will permit them to pass over me and through me without posting them to the timeline. where the takes have gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

I still like it and think semi-aquatic ambush predator anatomy is great for candle placement, as you demonstrate.

Awake hours are for play and mischief, but when she sleeps she wants to be close. If she wakes up and doesn’t know where anyone is, she cries and comes running for reassurance. She loves her family so much.

The nights are dipping cooler. Kazoo curls up against me in the dark. If she hears a noise, I see her little ears pop up and she scampers off to investigate. But soon she’s back, back to nest in the still-warm spot, back to sleep like she can’t be close enough. It’s an honor to be mom cat.

Goo morning, monsters. What is it that slops and slides glistens and gloops? It’s not a riddle. And there is no answer. No time to learn from the eager truth of the enclosing thing that keeps such secretions.

And this is why I sigh a little when I have to correct people that no, I’m not a Dr. I’ve never claimed to be. It just happens now and then. Which brings its own satisfaction in saying I’m a dropout.

Held By The Land

Beneath a moonlit, starry sky, silhouetted birds fly south, as a heavy stone disk descends over the land. A dark figure of a wolf woman sits, cradling a small wolf child in its lap. They rest, nestled among the islands towering over the landscape of isles, inlets, and mountains of the puget sound.

And the designation of dominant, I feel, is more about flow. Who is giving what to whom, given a direction or a shape. Giving is getting, getting giving. Cenobites push the boundaries of experience, after all, and I don't think their violence is all in being dominant flayers.
