She’s picked up. And I got to hold her, she’s so tiny! Now for the six hour drive home…

Got to hold an adult too? So awesome? Amazing creatures! And so nice!

Mum might never vist me again though… and hopefully my nephew will never learn to be wary of such creatures!

Oh, shyte, not chapter one, this would fit probably in ch 5 or 6… in a «lost world» type realm…

We’ll see. The book islands for sometime in the winter. I need to redo a few things before I ship it off to the editor. So:) maybe a scene like this finds its way in… the tie in novel is coming first though, tentatively November 12th or thereabouts:) lol

A snippet from Paolo or Amir here, from «Earth’s Hidden Realms» ch 1 a scene that could fit in one of the realms…

A side adventure

Through the #cascading waterfall he could see strange cat-like creatures, but with #leathery scales, reminding him of the #Torm from a book he knew well; A weird #evolution at ready!

Rather #fatigued he felt a strange #verve as he ventured on. His #prize awaited still. Avoiding the creatures he ventured into a cave where he found what he could only describe as an #exquisite #corps.

A beautiful creature seeming almost like glass laying serenely on a stone slab. Something someone could write a whole #oeuvre about! But something strange seemed to happen, almost as the corps was changing. Maybe to become one of the #torms?

A small cornsnake:) unlike in Britain where we can get them in most pet store, here it’s usually only from breeders. The pets store barely have the stuff you need to keep ‘em. Until a few years ago it wasn’t allowed to keep such here.. so that’s prob why:)

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 9h

Off to pick up my new pet :)

Her #base is ready, she can #shed her attire whenever, without #foaming. I hope never to be #bitten by her, but accept the possibility. It is a #niche hobby, at least here. The lights on top like #satellites shining down on the #structure below

Now. More prompts please @titaniatempest.bsky.social

In Europe, we have good democracy.. even Canada has that! But sadly, the US looks to fall far down in rights to us at least. We just hope most people are ok!

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 18h

Because driving along the coastal road E39 lacks bridges across the two fjords between me and where I’m going, and driving inland to avoid the ferries takes 3 hours extra each way. Besides half an hour ferry rides are good breaks from driving:)

Excursion day…
Paolo ate a #peach while he waited for his phone’s #battery to charge up. He dreaded today. Going to the #structures at Teothihuacan - again.

All the little structures there, like artificial #hills. Built so very long ago by long dead dreamers. He’d been there many times before; of course he had.

He decided not to put in his #earring, no need to add that to today’s experience, Not brave enough for such #defiance; Though he wished he could be so.

If only the bullies would grant #respite, just a day would be bliss. ‘But alas, no #libertine day for me it’ll be. Anyway, it’s time to leave for the bus.’

‘Wish me luck’, he thought.

Two days to go.
A serpent will come.
Not to dwell in the #dungeon
But here in my #library
Though, with less than 100
Probably doesn’t qualify.

Her scales are shades of red
From #crimson to orange
She’s lacking a gene
So no black scales at all!
The drive will be tough tough
5 hours each way!

One night the sky was dark
Cloudless and moonless
On nights such as that it’s easy
Or at least easier to see them
The artificial #satellites

Not just the natural satellite-
Or the one perturbed to be so
The moon, our luna
Usually so bright.

Life, continued.

Lots of time spent in the #library
The local one was in a #dungeon
Long gone now, a bitter ode to that!

Once lived in a city called #satellite
Close to pyramids and ancient history
Long since now, but still alive in me

I am strange, I know that well, really!
I also don’t need to #sonder at all,
I know everyone else has their own stuff

I thrive with #crimson walls - really!
#peas on the other side - despised!
Two opposites sides, both whithin my life

The future is unknown to all
Unless the world burns to #ash
Let’s live each day as if it’s the last!

Lost in my own mind….

Lost
Sometimes I feel like an #insect
Unworthy of notice, hiding.
Never finding my #niche

I see others #beaming, shining in Light
They’ve been #granted special things
Not a depraved hack like me.

I hide in the darkness, as the #rain pours.
That’s where I feel #safe. Secure.
This appears to be my niche in life

My goals often #clash, though…
My feelings is #ineffable always.
Never easy to say or explain.

Lost in my own mind, between all
Thoughts and feelings’ clash
Safe, but never found.
