Raq, that was painful, in a good way. Fay, can't imagine anyone complaining of more Fay.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I knew these drabbles would hurt to read when i saw the topic. And they do.
Hi Fay! I'm very interested in hearing how the children's books progress - I have one of my own that I'm trying to figure out what to do with.

Because books.
Fay! Come and join us, of course.
Raq, that was absolutely raw and painful, in the best possible way.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Faylove, always ready to hear from you.
Raq, um. So, that Depression. Made things miserable for more than just the ones who lived through it. Painful.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Ouch, Raq. Ouch in a good way, though. I haven't tried one of these in a while, so here goes:
Some days are so beautiful it's painful. Skies so clear and blue you want to jump up and swim in them. Orange leaves that glow in the afternoon sun. The barest scent of star magnolia on the breeze, fainter than imagination. Sunrises of shell pink and soft gray blue - not a sky to swim in, a sky to wrap around you.
I took me a while to discover what it was I was feeling on these days. It was almost like discontent, or greed. I wanted to consume these days, make them part of me. They made me hungry.

Thanks guys...that drabble tried to come out for "comfort food" but kept twisting around on itself.
Anne, that's perfect. I know that feeling, but didn't know it until now!

Misunderstood
Arms flail. Legs kick. Chest gasps for air in talons grasp.
The dragon loosens his grip slightly on the black armor. “Sorry” he tells the knight.
The knight inhales a long relieved breath. “That’s OK. Thanks for the rescue.. Who knew those ‘fair maids’ were cannibals?”
Roar and flame of a dragons chuckle. “Anyone with sense. Everyone on this mountain is some sort of bandit.”
Now there was amusement in the knight’s voice. “Anyone? What about you? When you destroyed the cannibal nuns, why did you save me?”
Another fiery dragon chuckle. “For later, knight. I’m saving you for later.”

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, nice!
...is it VERY wrong that I'm slashing the knight and the dragon like crazy?
