Hungry? Why not feed?
Tired Of Waiting? Don't hide.
There's a remedy...

The weak call me Greed -
that sliver of need inside
to claim Destiny.

Be the storm! Take lead!
Let Ambition be your guide;
Chase your Apogee.

"Oh, is THAT how it is? Well, I don't need your fancy Holiday Party! I'll have my own party, but with peppermint brandy, and 10 tins of Danish butter cookies... Ya know what? Forget the party!"

"So... yeah," Mike stared at the email, "Not only do I not get the promotion, I'm lucky to still have a job. "

"Well, if it's any consolation," Darrel nursed his warm coffee, "sure, shit rolls downhill. But office fires? Those burn all the way to the top."

Forced open - Mind's Eye.
Snow begs to be vernal rain;
Black, above the Blue.

Dark augury... Why?
Weathered Icon bearing pain.
Old things can't be new.

Hear, the cosmic cry:
Golden Glow shatters the chain!
False things become true.

An ancient obelisk stands over the ruins of a destroyed alien city. The lone, ancient obelisk stands tall during a snowstorm turning the sky dark. In the middle of the obelisk is the sigil of Drunok - A sideways oval split horizontally into two halves: onyx on top elongated to the right, lapis lazuli on the bottom elongated to the left, with a solid golden circle as the iris in the center of the circular gap.

"I didn't know this was even a thing."

Mak looked at the circle forming around the two combatants as they prepared their duel decks.

"It's not every night," Candy watched the vespertine display with guarded interest. "Just when the stars empower the cards."

Look skyward. Go now.
Flying Free; we flee the nest!
Each launch brings a thrill.

Claim new worlds - Our vow.
Fire flies on sacred quest,
taking all! But, still...

Star now ours, somehow.
Falling snow on all the rest.
Our dreams: Did we Fulfill?

"A Redsplosion? Not your usual drink, Kindi."

"It's not for me, Klex."

"Oh?" Klex looked down the bar. " Ah! Getting some action, huh?"

"Oh shut up. I'm not into humans."

"Yeah?" Klex teased. "You keep eyeing him like that, you'll end up with a human in you."

It's Apple Cider Day in the United States today. Apple Cider is a taste and tradition of Fall where I live.

Small things like apple cider speaking for a season is why I try to imagine at least one "feels" food for my characters whenever I plot and world build.

#amwriting
A tall pitcher of apple cider. The picture is set in a rich deep teal, futuristic sci-fi style, viewed from a high angle perspective with an elevated, advanced technology, luxurious, and vibrant aesthetic. Because apple cider is awesome enough to deserve that level of detail.

I honestly didn't think I would ever need coffee as badly as I do right now. Not just for writing, but for staying in the moment.

I'm somewhere between needing a coffee IV drip, or just snorting instant coffee.

Slash the ties that bind?
No one hears the old fear's din.
Flee the Pale Sun's grope.

Leave limits behind:
Observe the Beyond, Within!
First dream — rising slope.

New buds from new mind.
Reject the truth? A Great Sin...
Nurture growing hope.

"Oh please," Paulza waved his hand at Caldrick, "that's just a myth!"

"You don't believe the Chronicon?"

"I'm supposed to believe humanity came to the Aster Shoal from planet Dirt—"

"The planet's name was Earth."

"...on magic light ships? Uh, no. That's crap."

Beware the stranger!
Bright Sparkles of Mischief tease,
behind eyes blue haze.

A deal? Game changer!
Fates forced along a cool breeze;
all before his gaze.

Now, you see danger?!
Greed is the mortals' disease.
Charms - The game he plays.

Spring Thunder, release!
No rest for those that follow -

Again, we weep and wallow.
Now gone – The “glory.”

Bonfires mark peace!

"It's just like you said, Zeke."

Zander locked eyes with Zodos 'Zeke' Kodos. Despite the danger, Zeke allowed himself some smugness at being right.

"I can't even detect the magic" Kryt's gaze fixed on the #unearthly obelisk. "And there's nothing about it in the runes."

Old friends, new desire.
Can't forget their word; and yet...
Cold Need drives treason.

Fickle bloom of fire!
World ablaze, in hateful haze -
war is in season.

Cry, oh deadly choir:
Blade talks - The Night Hunter stalks!
Justice the reason.

"That's great Kacey!" Captain Reynolds smiled. "How about the injectors?"

Enough! Heaven strikes.
False spring sky starts to slacken,
destroying the dome.

Storm wind heaves, and hikes
golden brown bits of bracken -
breaking the biome.

Smite, with ice shard spikes!
Frozen fate! Cold skies blacken.
We mourn our lost home.
