Mr. #Shrewd walked into the class carrying a briefcase & a caged crow. As he settled in & wrote his name on the chalkboard, the crow looked out like it was sizing us up. Mr. Shrewd turned to face us. "Look to your left, then to your right. One of you will be possessed by end of the year." #vss365

Finished this book. I give it a solid 9/10. Lovable characters, simple but memorable world-building, & warm, graceful, unpretentious prose, I only wish we got more adventures from these scrappy goblins. #booksky #reading #fantasysky #goblins #tkingfisher

It's been six years since the demon was exorcised from me, but the damage can't be erased. My soul is still scarred by the beast's claws. Its dark power #clings to my insides like old gum. And my family still can't look at me, let alone talk to me. Why did they even bother trying to save me? #vss365

If I wasn't a killer cyborg, I think I'd have liked to tend a #garden. One with flowers, herbs & vegetables. Maybe grape tomatoes. Ones I'd use in a salad. Not that I eat. Although I could buy an artificial stomach. Yes, if my job wasn't hunting human rebels, I think I'd have liked a garden. #vss365

It's been my experience that imposing a human standard of order upon the inclination of nature - aka Beth vs. the garden - produces frustration and decay when what I really wanted was zucchini. Your #vss365 #prompt for August 12, 2026 is #garden How does your garden grow? 🫜🌻

You live in literal Paradise. You're innocent, naked and unashamed. You're besties with the divine Creator. The lure is dangled: Taste this fruit, and you will know everything good and evil in the world. Your #vss365 #prompt for August 11, 2026 is #evil Would you? 🐍

She loves her new family. But there are seven beds to make, seven sets of clothes to wash, seven dinners, seven lives to #toil over for seven days a week. "Late shift today," they say, off to the mines. Finally, a rest. A beggar woman calls, "Apples for sale!" Girl dinner, and then a nap. #vss365

My brother-in-law believes he is Sir Gideon #Toil, Royal Knight of the planet Chromatar, sworn enemy of the Kryloids (insect aliens). Everyone thinks he's delusional. But today, I saw a human-sized mantis eating a man's head like an overripe melon. It's time I paid my brother-in-law a visit. #vss365

The #urge has claws & they scrape against the underside of my skin. It wraps its tongue around my liver. It sniffs at my heart when I feel anger or lust. Its jaws threaten to clamp down on my brain. It's hungry. It's waiting for the next full moon & I need to replace the locks on the cage. #vss365

I'm worried about my brother, #Urge. Lately, his skin has felt colder. His palace has lost volumes of vigor. Even his dragon just sleeps & grumbles, coiled into herself, wings tucked underneath. I'm worried about my brother & I don't know how to help. I hope Enigma may have some idea. #vss365

You know that feeling when a powerful animal impulse surges through you—no thought, just instinct—and completely takes over what you do next? Your #vss365 #prompt for August 9, 2026 is #urge Do tell! 😜

My gf has a cat named #Sprout. Sprout tells me things sometimes. About the future. Dark things. Things that threaten his mom. Things I need to stop. I tell Sprout I think I'm going crazy. Sprout tells me sanity is not only relative, it's highly overrated. Should I tell my gf Sprout can talk? #vss365

I work for the DMV. No, not that DMV. The other one. The Department of Murderous Vegetation. Specifically, I’m a landscaper - someone who fights man-eating maple trees, demonic daffodils & bloodthirsty Brussels #sprouts. #vss365 #writesky #writingcommunity #fantasy
