The ET's ship had alit in the square, frightening the village's denizens. They ran to their cottages to hide. A creature emerged, its mouth began yawning, propelling a captivating siren wail. Mesmerized, villagers trod to the square's edge & bowed. #horrorprompt #vss365 #Scififri

#BraveWrite #vss365 #WIPㅤ #AmWriting #Script “Normal is a mirage. The only 'normal' is the setting on a washing machine. I'm not going to apologize for surviving my share of life's storms & pouring rain. For the most part, I AM 'sunny with blue skies'-but beware- so is the eye of a #hurricane.”
He sat on the cot staring at the steel door. The cellblock was noisy & disquieting. At the age of 52, he was sentenced to 9 yrs. He was nervous, scared & at peace. He pondered if his God thought it to be a sin for confessing for his son. He gave his loving boy a chance. #vss365
His dissociation with humanity wasn't new. His sociopathy was life-long. Each month, he'd choose one of the deadly sins & act it out. His favorite was anger. There were so many ways to display it. On this occasion, he chose gluttony by eating his neighbor. #horrorprompt #vss365
i think life will always be a mix of light and shade.. a blend.. and you have to jump into it.. even if whatever appears is unexpected.. pretty.. or not.. and do it however you can.. make sure to stock-up on music.. and laugh at it all a little too.. -dww
Out of a tempest and off. The world is still spinning, and you have to navigate the coast that way. That's how you find the island that at low tide isn't one. A state of the art road flows to the walled city. Someone sees you with your boat on your back and screams. #horrorprompt #vss365 #islands
We don't always say what we want to say We don’t always say what we mean Even time loses its way Sky changes and so do we light grants supernatural clarity Though at times memory slips into storm grey to forget #PoetsofDoom #Sky #poetsofbluesky #poetrysky #Photography #WCK #ECK 💙📷 me
#vss365 #vsshorror It had been many decades since he’d been banished to the isolated #island. So when the ship with no #sail crashed into the rocks: his sea green eyes glowed, licking his lips in anticipation. It’d been years since he’d had the taste of human flesh, alive or corpse.

Alluring aria of luring temptress echoes within the damned island, her fatal kiss seals depraved spirits fate vindictive foxes devour their bloodied flesh, mournful sable roses lie across ruined cemetries writing elegies in tandem #thingstowriteabout #vss365 #inkmine #Foxprose #vssfantasy #emoetry
Where do souls go at life’s end Perhaps only a boatman can say Perhaps only Charon knows the way to an isle of transition A restful place with no decisions Island of the dead isn’t vindictive only Cypress trees glass seas and light #vss365 #ipoetrysky #Emoetry #poetsofbluesky #ECK 🎨 Böcklin
He was emotionally isolated like a deserted island. Yet he craved human contact. Not for support or love but for their blood. He dreamed of being a real-life vampire. Draining his prey's blood, he'd congeal it to the viscosity of cough_syrup for his dinner. #horrorprompt #vss365
Island quietude Rumblings from the depths below A crater of doom #haikuhorrorprompt #vss365
The eerie green clouds of the tempest slowly dissipated, revealing a ship sailing toward the harbor. The sails were tattered, the main mast toppled. People stood on the pier, gazing for signs of life. The ship's sailors showed themselves as zombies & hungry. #horrorprompt #vss365
Adrift on the sea, iron on bone, chained in pairs to the dark unknown. Row the boat at the bite of the whip bleeding tears on a one way trip. Hope turns to dust, shackle’s rust faith slips away the slave ship sails where the shadows stay. ~rev #vss365
Your sails aren't fueled by kisses. They are fueled by knowing these discordant winds could be far worse. With these sails, you've scarcely managed to navigate round the giant poltroon robot - the one a thousand spineless sycophants formed to strong-arm their way through this. #inkmine #sail #vss365
