This is lovely, askye. Thank you for bringing it out into the world.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's amazing and powerful and, as Sail said, fierce, askye. Thank you for sharing it. I agree, it needs to go in ita's thread.

Thrive to spite them
I'm really glad you guys like it. I feel like it needs a little polish but not much there was so much I wanted to capture but mostly ita through my own lens.

Always Anti-fascist!
Hate to follow that, but here are my thoughts about "flag" Summer 1984
I was almost eleven, and not quite sure why I was so intrigued by the cover on the album.I knew it wasn’t just the stars and stripes. The driving beats thrilled me more than Thriller and were more fun than Girls Want to Have Fun(although I always turned that one up and sang along) I couldn’t even picture the shuttered factories and quieted smokestacks, but somehow Bruce made me care anyway.I could feel his music with my body and not just from the tight worn jeans on the cover.

Because books.
Another good one, erika.
This week's prompt is two people, one chair.
A little different, I know, but it can be interpreted a million different ways.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's lovely, askye.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Not quite in response to the prompt:
A companion piece to the one I just posted a link to in Beep Me, because ... because you are my people and you have always shared my pain. And because I can't judge the quality of the writing; I'm too close to it.

I'll be in Natter for the next few days, if anyone wants to talk.

Wow, Karl. I am so sorry.

Old Prompt: Burn
It tastes like shit, but she disguises it immediately with a hunk of lime and a deliberate swirl of her tongue across the salt. When she does, she always makes eye contact with the cutest guy.
“Why do you drink tequila if you don’t like the flavor?”
“I like the burn,” she always replies, and the tone of her voice when she says this makes people flush and stammer.
Would they look at her the same way when that burn becomes hot lava spewing into cool porcelain?
She likes the burn. But the conflagration is turning her soul to char.
