It was a swamp. A damned swamp. Erza wasn't sure what she hated most about about this swamp. Perhaps it was the heat. Perhaps it was the scummy water she wad to walk through, up to her knees. Perhaps it was the humidity. Suddenly an insect flew up her nose. "Ka-CHOO!!!!" Wildly she batted at more of the bugs. They were flying around her face, buzzing, seemingly trying to get into her nose. No, it was definitely the bugs. They were everywhere, hundreds, thousands of them, all seemingly attracted to her, Erza. A shushing sound drew her attention. Erza saw her friend and mentor, Ylarr, looking at her, a stern look on her face. "To warn wanting ye our enemies here we are, aye, lass?" Ylarr shook her silver tressed head. "A bad thing be that, oh aye." "But Ylarr, it flew up my nose!" Erza protested. Yarr nodded. "Do that bugs sometimes, aye, lass. Of them full this swamp be, oh aye."

It certainly seemed that I managed to, with the help of the Weldings of course! So, here is a chapter of my life that I am… extra-fond of. This is when I began forging a name for myself, started pushing myself to my utmost limits, and really began to learn so much more… Naturally, dark things still lingered in my mind, but I’m quite happy to say that the happier times lingered more here... Cries of horror erupted into the cold air, fire flickered all around… and Their chant… That macabre chant an echo in his being. The dusk was stained by the gruesome views that flooded the streets that night… “N-no… Not again… No… NO!” Ryan was jarred awake, nearly flying out of his bed as he sat bolt upright.

The Old House on the Hill
Three boys dared each other to go into an old house That sat at the top of the hill just outside of town. The house was old and was falling apart. It seemed to have been abandoned for years. No one could remember who owned the place Nor who even had lived in it, whenever that was. The three boys entered the house at sunset, As they wanted to see who could stay in that place the longest And wanted to make the setting as spooky as possible. They had all packed some snacks and a flashlight with fresh batteries As each of them had planned on staying a while. They gazed about the location. It looked like a house out of an old Hollywood movie, Except much more run down and exposed to the elements. The elegant old-style furniture was rotting away And a musty smell filled the air. Vases and sculptures sitting on tables and pedestals Were all collecting dust and cobwebs. The three decided to split up and explore different rooms. One entered the living room and looked around, Another took a
Mister Sandman, he's more than he seems, has a handle on all of your dreams. His intention is mastering sleep. You'll be quiet while slumbering deep. While you're waking he's being deprived of every mind he wants to imbibe. Meanwhile, children who struggle awake and find that life is harder to take, ask for guidance while going to bed and imagine him inside their head. When they wake up they struggle instead to remember whatever he said. It won't matter, his purpose is clear; he'll inculcate the children so dear. When he needs them to wake and deploy, he'll activate a girl and a boy. Then, they'll march out, call others to arms, and scare the world with nightmarish charms.

A small bush, really, about 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Its' leaves were broad and dark green, better to catch sunlight. It had canes, not a central stem, with branches going in all directions. There were no thorns or sharp things on the bush, for this was a friendly bush, a hospitable bush. This one grew lush berries, very sweet to eat, and of good size for such. It required only sunlight and water, both in plenty, to grow and provide the berries. The berries were green in color, deepening to a dark red when ripe, and ready for picking and eating. Bushes of this type were common in elven lands, and quite popular, for they

The Good Ship Friendship
I cut water standing atop my Friendship's head. With droplets running down into the oceans red, reflections of the sun, mark the tides a crimson and beautify the waves. Waters are made winsome. Sometimes I drown under my overwhelming life. I walk over rigged lines on the edge of a knife. Just as I go under the riptide I deplored, there you are above me and pull me back aboard.
In a loving embrace she plans on keeping me warm, she's got a magical countenance atop of her form, inside of her mind it proves so powerful strong that I can't do justice lest I'm singing a song. There's a sense of urgency that's guiding my pen to say all the pretty poems that's up in my head again. Inside of her mind it proves so powerful strong that I can't do justice lest I'm singing a song. The love that I fell reveals with instant appeal as the melodies saturate the air that she steals. I'm out of breath and she's knocked the wind out of me one punch to the gut; she tells me she's proud of me. The butterfly flies away so vibrantly wild, she's got a charming composure and a radiant smile. Gazing upon the children living in glowing space from the starburst shining forth from her face. She's got a rogue streak, she's shocking, no time for static she's rocking out to the paradise by dashboard light with every word ingrained in her by deep dark night. No one's as powerful that I

After merely four hours Of bending and reaching on a concrete floor in a warehouse, My back and neck always ache With an irritation that seems to drone out loud, Worse on some days than on others. My spine and neck need their sweet relief. Thus, on a bed within my bedroom, I sink into the mattress and the pillow in defeat. Even my thoughts and my feelings are weary. I feel quite unable to focus and meditate. With a cellular telephone in my hands, I stream videos for several hours straight, Mostly about video games, Animated series, comics, and weird movies. Sometimes, I try to expand my mind With videos about religion, occultism, and history. What about the ones who work Many more hours every day To provide their two or three children With food and medicine and still have bills to pay? With such a greater pained fatigue, How can they give their families proper care, Much less march for justice? Even with real pain, I remain aware.
I have learn to let go Instead of holding on so long I have learn to grow I have learn how to be strong I want to sing my own song I have learn to change First it was very strange I have learn to be wise Everyday is a new surprise I have learn how to live I have learn how to forgive I have learn how to be right I have learn how to fight I have learn how to be kind I have learn how to work with my mind I have learn how to leave it behind I have learn how I special things always find Sometimes things come easy sometimes not Often I take a photo and it is my best shot I'm not a fast learner oh God no But no matter how I can and will grow I'm maybe a thinker and a dreamer too But I will learn how to see the wrong in right In everything I will always do Yeah that is from me always the best side That my dear is oh so very true Jill

The Anniversary Dinner: Part 2
The hotel suite that had been booked for the night was a lavish, luxurious space that took up a fifth of the top floor of the hotel. It had a great living area, a balcony overlooking Celadon City, as well as a master bedroom, ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi bathtub big enough for four, and its own separate dining area, though that wouldn’t be used until the morning for breakfast. Ash looked out onto the city, smiling as he rested against the balcony rails. Gary was inside double checking their reservations for both the dinner and the show. This was perfect. The location, the event, the evening. It was the perfect way to celebrate five years of being a couple. Ash wondered what the future held for them both. Ash closed his eyes as he pictured what would happen. He felt the embrace of Gary as his boyfriend wrapped his arms around Ash’s waist. He could feel Gary press against his back, and his arousal.

A man named Raymond sat down in a chamber in a secret lab deep in the north of Canada. He was then standing with wires attached to his solid frame and his eyes scanned a room of busy scientists. Raymond had displayed an amazing intelligence all his life and seemed to have hidden knowledge that amazed everyone around him, though he suffered from a type of psychosis the more this wisdom of his increased. He was admitted to a mental institution later on in life and deemed as delusional and psychotic and was denied a brain scan for a heightened brain function upon his request. His amazing intellect however led him to be discovered by a secret research team that had infiltrated the hospital and had taken him in and promised to keep him far from the mental hospital if they stayed with them in their lab, deep in the icy tundra of northern Canada. As he stood inside the glass chamber the doctors' computers and instruments started to spark and the chamber was surging and radiating with a

Hi, it's Pot. Just calling to see if Kettle is in.
I used to love your hot breath on the back of my neck. So thick I could write "I love you" in it. Now my dewdrop skin feels like a nuisance, and your body language reeks of indifference. How easily passion is replaced by lust. How convenient is the simple betrayal of one's trust? Relationship-based disintegration in exchange for instant gratification. Again, and again, and again. Until you have nothing left to bargain.

They might even wind up turning on each other. It would be a monkey flamethrower massacre. It’s a very good thing That monkeys do not have flamethrowers. The world is a much better place that way.
The hail falls from the sky down onto the earth. It can be dangerous to be caught in such a storm. One could find themself seriously injured. At the very least, being pelted with hail will probably hurt. It is best to stay indoors Or at least find a place of shelter until it all blows over. Smaller pellets of hail are not quite as bad As larger chunks of ice falling from the sky. However, it still is not pleasant to be in such a storm, So one should still make sure to keep themself safe.

A Celestial Heirloom: The Princess (Ch.2)
A First Lady-in-Waiting for Elisabeth of Austria Jeanne arrived in front of a double door made of solid ash wood. The door was adorned with the coat of arms of Queen Elisabeth, displaying both the fleur-de-lis of France and the silver lion with forked tails from the escutcheon of Maximilian II of Austria. The countess paused for a moment to compose herself. Her conversation with the Duke of Guise had deeply unsettled her. True, the duke regarded her almost as an enemy, which she was well aware of. However, there was more to the threat he had uttered than just the pleasure of unsettling a rival. No, something was brewing at the Louvre, and neither the Countess of Mourniac nor the Count of Oustremont were invited. Jeanne gently knocked on the door, which immediately opened to reveal a woman in her forties. She was dressed in a long black surcoat concealed under a warm and lengthy ermine pelisse – rather surprising for such a warm day – which she wore like a cape with the sleeves

Jeanne of Mourniac The small coach jolted along the dirty cobblestones of the glassworks path, struggling to navigate through the bustling crowd on this hot day of August 23rd, 1572. Seated on the rear seat of the carriage, Jeanne, Countess of Mourniac, faced the Count and Countess of Oustremont. However, the attention of the young Countess of Mourniac was not directed towards her uncle William or her aunt Justine. She rather had her eyes fixed on the handheld mirror she had just purchased on the Saint-Michel Bridge, gazing at her reflection for quite some time. Jeanne was a rather tall and attractive young woman – though rather slender by the standards of the time. She was dressed in a long scarlet silk houppelande with white sleeves and fringes adorned with speckled white and tawny stoat fur. The houppelande was adorned on the front with a long pearl necklace that accentuated the shape of her chest otherwise discreetly concealed by the rigid corset she wore beneath her gown. Her
Reawakenings The North Atlantic Cold, that was the first thing she felt: unyielding, bone numbing cold. It was the same cold she had felt that night, the night when it all had ended. Now, as her senses slowly returned to her, she felt that cold again. All throughout that night it had been there. From the last time she had seen the sun, to when the dark mass loomed ahead of her, to the moment the screaming started, and finally to when everything went dark, that cold was there. Now, there was back again. Just darkness and cold. Her right side no longer hurt, but she wasn't sure if that was because she was just numb or it had been repaired. It was a comfort, however fleeting. She was, at the very least, whole again. But then a new feeling took over. A beat, strange and new, pulsed through her body. It was slow at first, and yet rhythmic. But then it began to get stronger. In no time at all, that rhythmic beat kept going. This was different from the one she felt before. That beat was

“Come on, Lee; let me go.” Conner said his neck twisting has his big brother held in a headlock. Upon releasing him, he staggered into the gathering that his sibling had also coerced him into. “I want to go home.” In an obviously mocking tone, his brother—or, more accurately, stepbrother—said. Conner scratched his neck and thought, Vampires can be such dicks, but they could also be step-siblings in general. He knew very little about either. “Our parents want us to bond, so we’ll bond.” “Wherever you will enjoy yourself,” Conner retaliated sharply; he was a brownie, a housekeeping fae. He would only be completely content when he had his own place to look after and defend. He was only comfortable at home. “Vampires enjoy interacting with each other,” Lee mocked him once more. You could try finding someone who needs work for free, or you could stay at my dad's house until you are 100.
