'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'
Nick Cave.

Two-faced prick.
Why sell me lies, all smiles on the outside?
While inside you fester, plot, grow bitter with rot.
Did you just set out to ruin my day?
F*ck you, avocado.

Xmas, 1985.
Head buried so deep in the tree, I can taste kitsch.
Blurry fairy lights. Woven bauble magic. Engulfed in tinsel.
Their row's over, Mum's swore - She never does.
Welcome to the #crescendo
Dad's hands up; concession.
It's blown.
Calm.
Xmas dinner is served.

Hey all, I'm very new to (and loving) vss365. Are there other similar hastags for daily writing that I should be checking out.
Loving blowing the creative cobwebs away on these daily writing workouts. Thx in advance for any pointers! 😉

Jude placed two sweets on the counter, "Just these, ta"
"No need to say; it's all you got"
She death-stared the cashier, pointing to a trinket on a high shelf behind, "And one of them"
He sighed and fetched a ladder as Jude slid a pile of coppers over.
"Keep the #change"

Intelligence, overrated.

Subterranean Mushroom monster, protector of the shaded children of giants, bonded for millennia. Sugar and nutrients reciprocated; a community of roots tangled wide. No words uttered; a woodland #harmony of silent gestures.

"Hatson, the murderer is..."

"Not the butler again Sholmes?"

"Precisely. Even murder needs a bit of #harmony"

"Harmony? How so?"

"The butler hit all the right notes, mate"

"Too perfect Sholmes"

I laid awake as all the various noises in the office conspired to make the perfect #Harmony to keep me from falling asleep, with Riz’s drunk burps acting like a conductor.
Oh for a night away from this...
