‘Shh! Do you see that? It’s a vampire sleeping during the day.’
‘Whoa. He left the coffin lid open. What should we do?’
‘Do you have a Sharpie?’
‘What are you gonna do with a felt tip marker?’
‘I’m gonna draw a penis on his forehead. It’s not like he’ll see his #reflection or anything.’

I have travelled from the past - with an accidental time slip into the future - aka I napped.
And I feel very out of it.

Home again, tired and considering a sneaky nap.... (after a shower to wash the imagined smells of other people off me)
But it was a productive trip. 🙏

Nights had run long for weeks now, but, ultimately, day and night were ephemeral concepts when you spent most of your time in space.
Dylan caught the #reflection of his face on one of Magpie’s consoles and mused that it was a good thing he wasn’t in a proper military.
He looked a mess.

I see in my
#Reflection
Vivid mirror of my peace
But something
Always mars it
Sure as sunrise in the East
The ripples
Never bother me
Not one bit in the least
I build my joy
On gratitude
A choice my own to keep
So even when
The gruel is thin
I claim it as my feast

Seeing only partial #reflection,
but not allowed resentment,
am I?
That would make me wrong,
to look for something,
Thought deserved,
But little more than courtesy.
The worlds in the mirror,
Think only of the images they make,
Caring little about this one.
And why should they?

#vss365 It was always better after a thing was done to devote a little time to #reflection. To cast one’s mind over the steps taken and work out if any mistakes were made.
But in the moment, one needed to roll with the blows dealt to overcome the obstacles life presented….

my place in the world is irrelevant
the sea ebbs, flows, heart beats
the outcome of what I see means little;
yet it gives breath, life begins again
when storms pass, raindrops from eyes fade
your skin glows:
it is you who makes it relevant

#Timed quests. One of the banes of Rory’s gameplaying existence because, even though they meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, they always made Rory’s heart race and he wasn’t entirely certain his heart could cope.
And he got distracted easy, seeing chests to unlock and stuff.

The ships screamed overhead, within the atmosphere of the moon, and Dylan checked the auto-chronometer. Fast, but simply not fast enough. They needed to eke out more speed, more manoeuvrability, more everything,

#vss365 Sometimes life was divine. Sometimes it was hell. The difference was a divine razor edge and a punched ticket. With only one chance to sway the balance and buy more #time.

He hopped in & tossed his backpack into the backseat. He was drenched from the pouring rain. Moving across time wasn't a sport for the weakminded. As a hitchhiker, he favored people with the courage to unknowingly pick up Jack the Ripper. #vss365 #vsshorrorprompt #vsstimetravel

You have to walk a haunted country mile to get there, where people notice lately how bats are always a relevant subject of conversation for you.
And if they really care to listen, it's bats made of wood that have weaved through strange echelons.

In days of old
You had to be bold
Under the #gaslight
You’d hold her tight
Hope she doesn’t
Put up a fight
Or take flight
Before you’ve had
Your way with her
Leaving a red puddle
In Whitechapel
