The Mortal Kombat tournament is as rigged as the FIFA World Cup — or so I gather from Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997).

#PennedPossibilities 912 — Describe your MC to us. (Looks, flaws, character attributes, their struggles, etc.)
I'm going to have to pass. I'm working on a section where Ume is really down on herself. I don't want to interrupt that headspace till I'm done with the section.
Snip #WIP #RoughDraft
I’d messed up badly. Not only had I frozen and gotten Matsumoto hurt, but I’d ruined the vision we were following. Matsumoto had been with us in the Katasu vision, but now she had gone home. Shishi should be yelling at me, not comforting me. Glorious me was going to protect her. Right, instead, she was comforting the big baby.
When we reached the tunnel, she finally spoke. “We should chant. Those hands were creepy.”
She was right, and I should have thought of that. But no, I was too busy wallowing in my own shame.

- #WordWeavers 23 first and last MC dialogue
- #ScribesAndMakers 23 pigeon drive the train?
First: “You shouldn’t,” I replied. “That’s a graveyard, and she’s dead.”
Last ** Snip #WIP #RoughDraft KonbiniIdol**
The train doors opened with a hiss, and we stepped inside. Underfoot, cicada corpses crunched. They were scattered around the door like Christmas snow the wind had blown in. The seats were empty except for items passengers might have left behind: a girl’s sailor suit, a briefcase, and an elf’s hat.
I pointed to one of the seats in the front. In it sat a pigeon, pecking at a cicada. Next to it was a Western-style conductor’s hat.
"At least one of them isn't driving," Shishi said.
"I wouldn't be so sure," I replied.

#TimeTravelAuthors 17. Wednesday POST-SIZED snippet (optional word: room)
**Snip Goldilocks and Three Grim Fates
I tried to turn toward her, but realized I couldn’t move. It was like sleep paralysis, where only my eyes moved. By squinting to the side, I could see a glass dome. Through it appeared the distorted shape of a can of red bean soup towering above me. Beyond that were the cabin and the bed#room. Floating above it all was Claire’s distorted, terrified face.

#wordweavers 11/11
It was a simple cafe, advertising carefully sourced ingredients. The interior was dim with lots of wood. Brown was the word that came to mind viewing it. The shadowy brown of an ancient haunted grove. Faces with masks under their chins floated in dark liminal spaces. The smell of food gave a sense of warmth the decor failed to lend the place.

#writerscoffeeclub 2025-09-20 How might your work be seen as a criticism of the present moment?
Arisu, Girlfriend, KonbiniIdol: Homophobia and Transphobia intrude periodically.
Return to the Fate Gear: The ship's mission is to tear down God portrayed as a patriarchal, dogmatic, monothistic tyrant.
Bijou the Time Traveling Ghost:
Emily continued. “I used to believe that at least they were at peace. The guns are silent, and treaties are inked. I thought, ‘We’re done with war, and they can rest.’ But here we are, ghosts. You’re from the future, singing another sad song about the needless dying. The guns don’t stay silent long, do they?”
“No, they don’t,” I said. “Nor the sound of jackboots. ‘Gotta get down to it. Soldiers are gunning us down.’ That’s from another song—the fascist rabbits scare me.”

#PennedPossibilities 751 — Check-In: Share a snippet you’ve written recently that you’re proud of.
From a future serial still in the rough draft stage.
<Snip #WIP #RoughDraft >
...a statement Arisu had made on the way here returned to her: “I’ve even forgiven Touko-chan’s poor taste in rejecting you.”“It’s ironic… you hated me for not returning Sayaka-san’s feelings, and hated Haru because she might.” As soon as it was out of her mouth, Touko regretted it. It was rather an oblique way of answering the question, and one was likely to antagonize Arisu.
Arisu must have missed the full meaning of the statement. Instead of rising to the bait, she pressed Touko with a difficult but reasonable question. One that sounded less like a challenge and more like a genuine question. “Well, what would you do if you thought someone was going to steal Yuu-san away from you?”

#ScribesAndMakers 31 yellow
#WritersCoffeeClub 28. How do you write sensory experiences that fall beyond the usual five? Give an example. (Kinetic, UV, emotive, and demonic hunger)<Snip #WIP #RoughDraft >
The human emotions helped me refocus, and I looked out. At first, all I saw was a blur of sand #yellow, but then streaks of motion. Three gecko soldiers were running, and then they were gone. Some monstrous, unearthly purple thing swallowed them. A violet cloud floated up from where the geckos had been. My eyes locked onto it. “Warm. Good.” A hunger I had no name for eased.Then the violet haze vanished. “More.”
My eyes — eyes of the frog — followed the shapeless monster as it swooped across the yellow toward…
“Tsuchigumo, youkai purse spider,” I supplied a name. The frog had no names for these things, only fear and joy. The latter surged as the formless purple thing swallowed the Tsuchigumo. “Good, More, Good,” and feed the violet hunger.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2 July. Where did your last idea come? Part 2.
The rabbit got cut.
But
<snip #WIP #RoughDraft>Finally, a couple arguing caught my attention. On second glance, the argument seemed one-sided. A woman in a white linen dress addressed her twin sister, seated at one of the tables. In a shrill, New York-accented voice, she was saying, “You need to listen to me. Please, it’s important. You’re going to die.”

CW: #PennedPossibilities 706 Novel spoilers
#PennedPossibilities 706 — MC POV: Do your friends know about any regrets you have?
<Snip from #RoughDraft #WIP How many times had I thrown Tomo under the bus: I’d brought a toxic girlfriend into our house; refused to get rid of her, even Mikawa threatened our lives; attempted passing Kashima’s onto him; risked his life by refusing Takiyasha-tennō. I was a despicable partner with morals, like shifting sand. And now Shishi’s and Tomo’s life on the balance against each other.

#WordWeavers 27. What small precious memento does a character keep on their person? What makes it precious? Part 3
And into my WIP.
<snip> #WIP #RoughDraft
Shiomi: If I’d had money, I might have stopped to buy Ume a token of my love. I saw a marvelous silver ring with a red stone that I would have loved to buy for her. I bet she would never take it off. That was a romantic thought.

I've never shared most of the #stories I've written in my life. Endless stacks of paper and composition books I've never shared.
I am always scared to, and I am trying to get past that. So I typed up one of my drafts and posted it here.
It's not finished, and I will add more to it with time. Just another endless project.
I am just #writing for fun, and it's #horror inspired by The Road.

#WordWeavers 7. What were the smells in the last scene you wrote? 2/2
From WIP "The Little Match Girl,"
The innkeeper might disapprove of my bringing in a frozen waif, but he arrived with my desires promptly and the room was soon warm and full of the smell of drying wool, fresh bread, and a thick mutton stew.

#wordweavers #Writing 11. What emotions did your character experience in the last scene you wrote?
Terror
I felt my sanity slipping as I staggered toward the far end of the cabin. I wish I could say I was seeking another exit, but it was blind fear that motivated me. The dreadful laughter and evil chant drained my energy and sanity, leaving me stuck, unable to move. The foul smell physically choked me.

#writerscoffeeclub #Writing 5. Share a snippet of what you've most recently written.
<Snip>
“Lets’s see if can force our way through the woods,” I said as I approached the forest. The branches intertwined like a shifting, chaotic basket. A wind moved through it seeming to whisper. Ma… ga… ga… mi... I remembered Ume’s stories about cursed truths and blocked it out as best I could. I was about to grab a branch when Kan-chan pulled on my arm.“We don’t have time! Come on! The Lake!” Kan-chan yelled.
I followed Kan-chan’s gaze where arms were rising from the center of the lake. It was the most terrifying thing to happen to me since the Red Door. I stood frozen as the arms moved toward the shore and heads emerged. The wind whispered Ma… ga… ma… gi… sama.

Day 24 - #Inferno
I'll admit, this was more an excuse to get some ideas for drawing a busted down home. Did not take long to realize I need to practice busted beams
Also, I am not built for daily drawing. I start treating it like a chore unless it's a prompt that excites me

Dear past me:
"Site" is not "Sight."
Thank you for your attention to this matter. #roughDraft -
I've been putting off writing a introductory post, so this is the start of it. I'll edit when I have a bit more time.
Sometimes just getting the rough draft started and letting my brain start thinking about it, is what I need.

"The Walls"
A new wall surfaced in a strip mall parking lot. Like the others, it would’ve been more urgent if it came up faster. But no, the walls are just fast enough to be a nuisance, but too slow to get any kind of emergency support. Under a meter, the veins of multicolored plastic were pliable enough to pull apart by hand if you had a few hours to kill. The problem was numbers.
Somewhere underground, a gossamer-thin protein scaffold[...]
