“Get it out!” she yelled after a lengthy hour of pain & pushing. But just when she felt ready to give up, a sudden surge of relief came as the tiny human slid out, screaming in a bloody heap on the bed. It was then she thought maybe it hadn't been a dream. #SlapDashSat#SciFanSat
She had to be hallucinating. Maybe it was the impact her family had on her. Or maybe she was suffering a psychotic event. She couldn't imagine any other reason for what she was seeing. People simply did not go to sleep in 2020 & wake up in the 17th century #SlapDashSat#SciFanSat
Distance had become relative. Traveling five star systems meant you had time to hit the head and change clothes. But the DMZ, that was going to be a trek. It meant refueling in some unsavory locals. The kind of places Vince had left smoldering bridges in his wake. #better2sday
She no longer saw the deep blue sky surrounding the storm, nor its dull edges, where warm summer sun met the blight storm’s freezing rain, onyx hail & barbed lightning: A roiling #chaos of pulsing black defying both wind & tide, steadily lumbering closer #1LineWed
The tavern had been thrown into a swirling swarm of panic and mayhem. The chaos suggested every single pubgoer in the tiny establishment thought they too would be poisoned with death sure to follow. #1linewed
The woman wandered around the classroom, her eyes wild, her hair frizzing by the moment. If Claire narrowed her eyes, she thought Ms. Martha must've been quite attractive once. But now she'd been reduced to a crazed home ec teacher, cooking a cauldron of squash goo. #2WordPrompt
Crashing onto the deck of the airship, she gulped in air trying to catch her breath. But there was no time to rest. Her brother let out a bloodcurdling scream. The net he'd been caught in singed, sending him writhing in pain as poison burned into his skin #SlapDashSat#SciFanSat
Unable to stand, he collapsed in a heap at her feet. The poison spread across his skin like a purplish web, tracing a beautiful but deadly pattern on his bare arms. Convulsing, he gasped & gagged as his sister watched in utter desperation, feeling helpless to save him. #thurds
Leaning against a marble dais holding a green dragon reared up on it’s hind legs, she pulled herself onto the stone slab. The Chantry sat quiet & peaceful. Gazing around, much to her surprise she found herself across from an elaborate archway carved w/her family name. #1LineWed
When she was younger, she loved myths and magic, but her history teacher had made it clear, nothing from the past proved those things were real. According to him, dragons were more likely dinosaurs and magic nothing more than misunderstood science. #Thurds
Interpretations cannot deny the truth of history. It's the gladiator that gives the past a reason to live. Just as a plea went up to Mount Vesuvius for Spartacus to come and rescue the oppressed, those times will come again. Freedom always requires a willing sword. #1linewed
Facing her brother, she calculated his moves. Feigning to her right, he jerked, she struck, he parried, she spun. They danced & jabbed until finally the point of her sword connected. Her perfectly timed lunge sent Dag flying backward, crashing into a nearby target. #1linewed
