#vss365 From the cool crisp day to the shadows of night, the rot of #autumnal leaf fall persists. Insects busy about the task of corruption, as scavengers prepare for the harshness of winter. And all the while, as green becomes golden fire and ultimately drops, the veil thins around us...

She’d never been a naturally sanguine soul; she always saw the dark cloud in every silver lining. But carrying her sister’s memories made her want to see the bright side, just once, after all. #vss365 #sanguine

Thanks for [what Google calls] "high-density semantic nodes. These are words whose modern definitions are a compressed pile of history, physics, and human nature, where changing the context completely shifts the meaning without changing the word's soul." Kept it interesting hence #sanguine. #vss365

#vss365 The sentinels of the black circle and keepers of the apocrypha stood watch in the cavern as I approached. 9 runed columns formed a protective circle, within that the 5 sentinels occupied marked sigils and one stood empty for me — all located within three linked circles.

As they bade me enter and take my place, everything changed. The light struggled to enter, the air felt heavier, and the #esoteric text I held open before me, began to read itself in my mind, until my voice gave the spells flight.

As the sentinels took up the closing chant, I felt the sleeper’s eye had opened.

#vss365 Though he had a more than adequate vocabulary and had been known to occasionally wax lyrical about a variety of subjects, when liquor had greased the gears, he now found himself struck dumb by rage.

The clumsiness and sheer gall of the text had robbed him of his #eloquence. All of this money, to commission enough spam numbers and to hire the servers to spam the entire nation with one divisive message. Its aim, to sew division. To poke blind xenophobic finger at the Islamic faith.

When his terse two-word reply failed to send, he resorted to the best backup. He took their beshitted political flyer and popped it in a jiffy envelope. Then mailed it to their HQ.

#vss365 #prompt #tanka #intuition I gave you my love Although my intuition Warned me — and my mother Wisdom comes in afterthought And I rise from the ashes

A large bird with outstretched wings is surrounded by bright orange and yellow flames. The bird stands on a pile of dark debris, with its feathers and tail illuminated by the fire. The scene is dramatic, with the flames forming a vivid backdrop. White text is placed to the right of the bird, reading: 'I gave you my love / Although my intuition / Warned me — and my mother / Wisdom comes in afterthought / And I rise from the ashes.'
