  1. #TimeTravelingGhost Part 47: EP 4: 1937 Amelia Earhart.

    #Wss366 #MastoPrompt #TimeTravelAuthors 10/5. Why are you important to the story?

    As we stood there, trying to figure out what to say, the moon topped the surrounding trees. The apparition became even fainter.

    “I need to tend the signal fire,” she said, gliding by us. It felt like a chill wind, and in the warm tropical night, it raised goosebumps on my skin. Inland, a bird #piped, eerie and forlorn.

    “I suppose we should follow her,” I said, starting back down the track. “You’re lucky you weren’t caught in an obsessive loop like her.”

    “Explain?”

    “Classical ghost stories feature spirits caught in a loop created by unfulfilled desires, grudges, or death trauma. They’re doomed to repeat the same actions over and over.”

    She nodded. “I might have been, except you came along. We wouldn’t be traveling through time except for you.”

    She paused, thinking, then spoke. “Neither of us is a typical ghost, especially you. Are you sure you’re even a ghost?”

    “It’s the only term I can come up with.”

    The mist was thicker when we emerged from the jungle. White tendrils passed over the moon, causing an unsettling flicker. The clicking of crabs communicating had ceased in the direction the ghostly form had gone. Behind us, the sound resumed.

    I've been intending to do Kodama. Did my own twist on them being spectral energy attached to the trees

  3. Day 23 - #Corvid

    I don't have a crow addiction, YOU have a crow addiction!

    Wing definitely is sized wrong, going to need to work on that before I do a good copy. Second pic is a quick lasso and transform to confirm for myself and boy oh boy did that ever confirm. Out of practice with feathered wings, that's for sure
