This Week's Devastation:

Picture by Mariana

A Gentleman Villian

A man came to visit me last night,
His name was whispered in my mind,
A tall man with an easy gait,
A neat and handsome man full of wit,
Yet, despite his charisma I sensed a fiendish charm,
Lean yet fearsome all the same,
A devilish grin,
A penchant for sin,
Soon you too will know his name.

Exhaustion as a Motivator

My body is screaming for rest and  my lazy eye, my curious tic, is misbehaving badly. Still a productive day all-in -all. My writing completed despite my cramping, cold fingers. Submissions sent and I am anticipating what the mail box bring over the incoming months. Now, let's see if I can unfurl my legs and crawl the tall stairs to rest in peace. Goodnight.

Platform

I have found another platform to dangle from. My first offering is thus: http://jottify.com/works/note-the-end-of-the-line/

This however is my nest. I will continue to post here my electronic home.

This Week's Inspiration:

Incubus Attack

Another night, another nightmare. Waking sweating, tense and tight. Screaming into the darkness. The details gone, lost in a fog of fear and terror yet the feeling remained. A dark presence hanging over my bed torturing me, taunting me. I lay back down and stared at the ceiling. My body yearned to resume its rest, yet my mind maintained the dread. So it was I lay and waited for my dreams to take me and I hoped in earnest that they would not haunt and horrify me.
