    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    Post: I thought I cut him at the root // Wilt

    I slip from tree to tree, sucking down air in thick gasps. My shoulder aches where a bruise is blooming. Couldn't keep my mouth shut, as usual, and also as usual I've paid the price. Coming down into ...

    I swallow down whatever thoughtless retort would have spilled from my lips. She's my mother, and there's nothing I can do about it, but I won't have that be my definition. I scowl instead, first at th...

    The lack of trees, of a pocket full of hideaways that I could duck into at any given moment, is a glaring distress now that I'm no longer alone. The black stallion, such a contrast to the color of the...

    There may be hell to pay when I get home, but for now the sunlight bathing the springtime world makes up for it. There is warmth and color in every direction, the air only just cool enough to remind t...

    Post: Maybe this will be my cure // Galadriel, Any

    The bones finally spoke to me last night. I've been coaxing them for so long, and it finally worked. It was an accident, as so much of my life is. I didn't mean to knock over the pile of fox and badge...

    Post: RE: Cool with wasting my time [ANY]

    I can feel his dismissal like a physical thing. Cruel eyes that harden for a moment, before they pass over my shadow-clad face. He was angry for a moment, and that wasn't bad. Angry at least meant I'd...

    Post: RE: I could make it better for you

    My eyes roll at the lady's words, and a snap of bitterness rises in my throat. Manners are something my mother only teaches selectively, and they are mostly concerned with not pissing her off. Conside...

    It's his voice that brings me back to what I'd been doing. Following a stranger, wondering what he was doing in my neck of the woods. It was easy to be distracted though, and I'd been rearranging the ...

    I lift my head drowsily from the thick leaf mulch I'd been nesting in. Something had woken me, but I'm not sure what. Mother isn't near, I don't think. Her voice carries. I glance at my friends, their...

    I am pleased when the bony face turns to me, and then my mouth forms an O of surprise at the words he says. "But-" I stammer, my world suddenly shifting on its axis. "You're not supposed to say no. Th...

    I crept through the trees of home, and the forest and the fields. Now I'm here, and I don't know what to do with myself.  My eyes are adjusted somewhat to the dim. The world is a greyscale now, and...

    I am Calavera. Sugar skull. Sickly sweet and morbid, and my mother is insane. Half the time she doesn't know who I am, and that's when I go off on my own to play. Hours or days later, she will find me...
