Some of the lost asked only to be remembered. Others establish kingdoms, and I kneel long after the sovereign has vanished, carrying tribute to an abandoned throne, the old oath continuing to govern when the world that bowed before it is gone. There must be some moment when keeping faith with the lost means releasing the living from its rule.

The institution moved at the speed of liquid methane. Frigid lakes turned beneath an acrid sky. Nothing hurried. Nothing had to. Still, the blows came: window, gate, name, number, wait, each small refusal delivered at a temperature no human being can live. I came carrying a human claim. The machinery had no category for it.

It turned out the new rallying cry of Chief Seattle High's volley ball team seattled the victory crown on their heads. Their opponent died laughing at the lyrics of 'Into the "Volley of Death." 1/1

Minashi-by-the-Sea (The Piping that Spoke of Nyarlathotep)
#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt 9/7 -11
As the moon touched the hazy rim of the ocean, the Cat Who Stole Dreams indulged in one last #meal of the inn’s famed curried prawns, a #mash of almonds and sweet cream, and #distilled lime blossom liqueur. It was just a sip, enough to fend off the night's chill, no more.
Then, as the full dark of night blanketed Minashi-by-the-Sea, she donned her black, dew-spangled cape and her quietest #slippers and went out into the #late night. All was still except for the laughter of the fountains. The chorus of cicadas and revelers had long fallen silent. Not even the few unfortunates stirred by dreams of dark things said to slither from Hypnos Nor Slid’s House heard the soft footsteps of Kurotsuki.
With catlike grace, she climbed the outer walls of the High Citadel of Perpetual Petals. So lithe was her ascent that not a single petal of the trees that ringed that lofty place was disturbed, and thus the #wards that are triggered by their fall remained silent. The silent monitors, without the walls, perhaps saw a shadow flicker, but nothing more.
Thus, Kurotsuki Kaibyō reached a vantage from which she could observe the Toads of Leng cavorting and hear the fateful shrilling of the piping within the tower. The #luminous toads as they danced #round the tower #instilled no fear in her heart, yet a #current of dread set her fur to bristle, hearing the piping that spoke of Nyarlathotep, for it came from far beyond the ken of man.
Woe betide the mortal who, in a dream or drugged state, passes through the portals to that eldritch creature’s dimension. Better to face the nightgaunts or to be torn asunder by the ghouls of Pickman’s ilk than to glimpse the dwellers of that realm.
Shaken but undeterred, the queen of thieves came away that night ready to plunder the heart of Minashi-by-the-Sea.

"Gah!" The rogue spluttered.
The barbarian set the empty bucket down. "Glad you're awake."
"But, we were at the fair?"
"I carted you off."
The rogue's eyes narrowed. "We were drugged?"
"YOU were. I mistrust wandering traders offering odd-#flavoured sweets for free."
The rogue checked his coin pouch. Empty. His laugh was #hollow. "I #suspect I'm not the first."
"Yeah." The barbarian gently patted his own purse. It was heavier than a few minutes ago.

It was not an easy door to open.
When she did, #boundless possibilities became, the threshold a #liminal space between #illusion and potential. Arctic desert morphed to #tundra upon new #sentiments that #burnt away the shackles.
A pang of pain, an old #acquaintance, told her, it was not quite yet time to #celebrate.

In the darkest night of my soul, a #hollow scream echoes into the night. Then, #otherworldly silence falls. I catch a #notion of a draft, then realise the giant pendant. It #swings soundless. As it changes direction, a #splash of #cerise illuminates the #celestial canvas.

The crows tell their tales. Leaves #crunch under feet on #dozy afternoons. #Spirit soars as Winter's bride passes by one last time. Silver, with a #train of golden leaves. #Floral reminiscence. #Fulcrum of season's turn, before the #grove goes to sleep. #Cure for a weary heart.

The day started golden before #gray clouds moved in. Wind lifted leaves and sand fine like #powder. #Entwined in a dance, they twirled through the streets and #garbled the view. When his arms slid around her, she felt a surge like #fireworks. It was those #stolen moments that maintained her #resilience.

'Beware of dogs'.
#Beyond the fence with the sign lay a garden with a #birthday table. She saw the scene through an #hourglass made from #topaz, before the smell of #toast woke her up.
Pondering this #projection of her subconscious, she decided, there was no shame in asking for #help.---

When your world turns black, see through the illusion, so the thorn in your side won't become your gravestone. Take the thrill of the pain to wake up from the graveyard. Don't dread the darkness. Be the light. It's #Halloween, and the veils are thin tonight.

She sees the dragon and does not blink. The monster stares at her, opens its mouth, and breathes fire.
For a moment, panic rises inside, like the flames that surround her. She can feel the migration of atoms in her body, changing her, but not causing harm. One cannot deny the sigil has worked. No esoteric cult did this, but merely an open heart filled with love.
The flames ebb away, and the dragon smiles.

I screamed to see it gone, but the pain persisted. With it, a #deluge of emotions surged through my body until I cried a #serenade. A #frame of relief to #outfit me, before everything melted down to a #soup of agony, its weight about to #squash me. The room started to #spin, then all was #black.

Trees in the forest, tall, each one connected to the other. I watch my specimens share hubris. Ironic, as this is what divides. I don't give a penny for it. My two cents: Rather root in love and connect with those who do the same. A liberating thought.
