I am the sun
You’ll never feel
To darkness you must run
Any spectrum of light will kill
I am the #raredisease
DNA chose you
1 in a million receive
Only way out is through
I am the moon
Along with the stars
In our #aphotic garden you bloom
Glow from within not from afar

The mausoleum doors sealed forever.
His eternal #commitment was to watch over her asleep in stone, as generations turned to dust outside.
Sitting in total darkness, a living shadow fed by love—forgotten by death, slowly forgetting his own name.

The next winter solstice is 21 December.
Would anybody be up for an old school #Flashdogs #FlashFiction thing? I'm thinking
Solstice Darker.

Never ever go down less than twelve hours before the next storm. No matter what. That was the divers' creed.

Football fans,
Bayern fans,
Spurs fans,
England fans,
I ask you to push for Harry Kane one last time. It would be the biggest Ballon d’Or robbery since 2020. Not a single player was better than Kane. If you love this sport, let‘s help him out. For him. For the love of the game.

Ten years?
My goodness.
You created something enduring and that's something to be proud of my good virtual friend. #flashdogsforever
How on earth I missed this, I don't know. Thank you @NoirOnTheVine
Massive thanks to everyone that has hosted, written, supported, read, contributed.
Eternally grateful to @voimaoy or there would be no #vss365 as we know it today.
Thinking also of Scott, Dawn and others.

What a World Cup Pedro Porro has had! Defended brilliantly, attacked brilliantly. Always given everything for Spurs even when it was falling to pieces around him. Lovely guy as well. Deserves all of this.

I slouch in a chair
atmospheric pressure pouts
Dawn & Scott both died
#vss365 stars
last shined here in a July
grief is like a #flea
infestation that swarms
my screams locked inside
#ForDawn @DawnHosmer7 🕯️
#ForScott @Poetryin13 🕯️

In my fictional work, a character is about to die, then re-appear as time re-sets.
I need your help.
How should they die?
