Her shiny red nail scraped across my stomach. Sweat glistened on my skin.
My fingers crumpled the sheets. If I moved...
She lowered her head. A quick flick of her tongue made me inhale.
"#Delicious," she murmured.
I kept my eyes away from my fiancé. He was almost free...

Lina squinted at the bird flying across the gray sky.
Mal sheathed his sword and took a ragged breath. "A #stork. They bring new beginnings."
Blood dripped from Lina's sword onto the wilting grass."They don't." She studied the castle where the false queen resided."We do."

This year, I was going to get #organized. I had big plans for not getting distracted. I was going to hunker down and write.

The world thought differently.
And it's only March...

I walk under the seas
In an abundance of silence
You threw me messages
In dainty bottles
Storms sent down your ships
Now, you assault me
With cigarettes, bags
nets, and cans
But all those ships?
I raise them up
An #armada from the drowned
We fight for silence and solitude

@SuspiciousPig Thank you so much! 🌺

[Khidra Kay @KhidraKay]

The #robot body was a prototype and I was dying. They told me I'd live forever.
At first it was amazing. Then, the pandemics started. Soon I was alone. Unable to end it.
Yesterday, I cried when I felt the heat from the sun. A few more years and it'd envelope me. Finally.

@EdHaiku575 Thank you ��

[Khidra Kay @KhidraKay]

The first time they told me of this #foreign concept, I wept.
But after 30 years, I see the wisdom in their tradition.
By leaving babies in the forest during their first full moon, we can be sure that only the strong ones live.
After all, wolves don't attack werewolves.

"Where's the food?"
"Right here."
"That's not a very big bag. Are you sure it'll be enough for five days?"
"Yup."
"So what did you get?"
"Lembas bread."
"That's not a real thing."
"Sure it is. One bite of these will fill you right up. Look."
"...that's #stroopwafel."

You know when you go years without hearing a word and then it pops up all over?
A while back we found something interesting in the cookie-aisle. Then it showed up in my YouTube recs and now it's the prompt word
At least we have #stroopwafels in the pantry.

Sometimes, the world, life, seems #insurmountable.
How do you go on when your insides are screaming in panic?
How do you smile when your brain is hyperventilating?
How do you hide what you can't show?
How do you swallow when your throat is iron?
You do it, for her.

[Khidra Kay @KhidraKay]

I thought my actions reasonable. They didn't.
It was all I could do, but they said it was #unfathomable.
Life and death for me.For them, only death.
If your family's starving, how far would you go?
Shame on the talking chickens though.Would have brought a fortune in town.

One by one they disappeared. Taken by the wind, like the crumbled buildings that travelled on the breeze.
I had no need for #words, no one to share them with.
But like sand in my shoes, a few of them nagged me, wouldn't leave.
Love. Mother. Abandon. Come back.

[Khidra Kay @KhidraKay]

I never chose to be a #soldier in this war of games. Yet here I stand, sword in hand and murder in my heart.
I never chose sides in this war of folly. Yet here I stand, protecting those who did. Protecting my family.
Some choices are made not by you, but by love.

When the world collapses around her
when primal instincts rule
when adrenaline urges: fight
or flight
it is time
for the #ritual
Breathe in, touch every finger
Count them, breathe out
Again
and again
each finger a prayer
keep me sane
let me live
leave me be

Her hand trembled when she finally trusted him enough to keep the lights on.
"Radiant."
"Marked."
"Every scar is a story. I want to memorize them." He traced them with one finger. "So I can use them as an #atlas to find all the places that make you smile."

"No. Remove it."
"But Grandma it's only a little."
"We don't give any #extra."
"But the baker always throws in-"
"He can afford it. Do you have any idea how much this costs?"
"I know."
"When you can make magic from flour and sugar you can give away as much as you want."

She smiled, tilted her head and giggled. Said: "I don't have #adversaries. I'm just here for fun."
I watched her. Saw her eyes narrow, the plans she made. She was here to manipulate, defeat, win.
In the end, it didn't matter. I watched her through the scope. Saw her die.
