Affixed

For I have held the arc of time and rent it into shards I have dealt the tarot deck and lit aflame the cards I have cast the iron dice then ground them into dust Affixed thou art in time and space, affixed to rot and rust

Procrastination Benefits

I tapped my pen to a blank page of my note book. Well almost blank. I did have a head line for the topic I was going to expand upon. Typical English Sayings – Idioms. It's a paper that is due in a week. I should have started this weeks ago, but I tricked myself into thinking that I had plenty of time. Instead, my time got consumed by other courses and their material that either needed to be studied, written or researched. I looked around the large room and I was impressed with the tall shelves as much now as I was on the day I was here on a campus visit when I was evaluating my choices. I watched a female student walking along the balcony next to the archaeology section on the third floor. Her moss green plaid socks reached her knees, or at least I think they did. Her wool looking gray pencil skirt didn't allow me to see further up what appeared to be promising legs. Her sweater was the same rich brown as the curly hair that looked liked it use to be belong to a more dignified

The Uroborose Saga: The Promise- chap 1

Chapter 1 The Promise Reykjavir, Capital Region, Isogeldur. The end of Samhain month. 1708 B.C. The ancient gold bells situated north of the capital at the outpost on Engey island rang in sharp alarm. The wind howled through the town set by the long, narrow fjord.  The sound of the bells resonated in the radiant valley to warn its inhabitants of the foreign vessel that threatened to breach their shores. Baldur, the tall and fair captain of the Ljósálfar guard, arrived at the dock, sword drawn, flanked by his battalion of warriors, all mounted on gray dun fjord horses. Baldur’s blue eyes caught sight of a small wooden dory boat

Letters to Marileen | 3 ~ Your Friend, the Reaper

      Three days after her initial arrival, Marileen tended toward bounding around the house in an attempt to hang out with both of her roommates at the same time. She talked quickly and couldn't sit still, leaving Handwing in a dizzied, tired state. He often felt the urge to nap after his interactions with her. What really irked him, though, was she always seemed to get into his stash. He tried to talk to Vilkas about it and was met with a response that infuriated him.       “Uh, they’re technically mine,” he’d said matter-of-factly, “you used my money to buy them.”       Vilkas was just lucky he had a

Drowning Sirens: Chapter One

Chapter One: Voyeurism "How many kids do you have?" A voice crowed from across a large maroon fence separating all the neighborhood's front yards. Deanna Finnegan accidentally dropped the large box marked "breakable" and cringed at the sound of shattering dinner plates. She clenched her fists nervously and caught the eyes of her disapproving stepmother in her peripheral vision. "Just pick it up, Deanna." The immediate Mrs. Finnegan ordered, raising her tone at the end of the sentence to intensify her disdain. Deanna scowled and watched curiously as her father crept towards the large fence until he came face to face, so to speak, with a lar

Home

Time again Home again Welcomed by an empty room Will you come home soon? Time again Home again Years went by without you Will you come home soon? Aimlessly living my life On the brink of my lifeline My ego doesn’t want to change All I could do was barely manage It came out of nowhere You didn’t even give me a chance All I knew it was a divorce All I felt was just remorse What could have I done more So you wont leave me alone There's no way its fix in stone So baby pick up the phone Time again Home again Welcomed by an empty room Will you come home soon? Time again Home again Years went by without you Will you come home soon?

Why People Hate Rainbow Ponies

or In Defense of the Word 'Cringey' This isn't a contradiction of the popular argument against bullying individual artists. It's an elaboration on why the issue is more complicated. Let's get passed the "live and let live" formalities, and admit some people have negative opinions. Not everybody agrees certain types of art are harmless. This is an explanation of why the sides exist, so we can get to the root of the matter and admit it's not about rainbow ponies. I don't support attacking individuals. I do support posting general criticism against specific trends or tropes. I believe in objectivity. This is a war of personal philosophies, n
