first part – – – – – They fill every corner, stretching out across walls and floors alike, impenetrable to conscious eyes. Turn away again, outward, and they are no longer simply areas of darkness. The small shadow-creatures scurry-drift outwards, sweeping across the floor like tendrils of smoke, impenetrable to the light. They disturb nothing, [...]

Somewhat inspired by Lyn; one of what may be a series of short little vignettes describing the inner workings of my mind. – – – – – The room is quiet and empty, the dim yellow glow from above softly brushing against the impenetrable shadows. The machine is embedded into the wall; smooth, featureless but [...]

The moment I walked into the shop, I knew this was the right one. Decades of digging through these damned shops and finally, finally I was close. I could practically taste it, buzzing the air like a wooden table under a vibrating phone. “Can I help you, sir?” The friendly woman behind the counter smiled [...]

Guess who it is again? ;D the details the words: dare, essence, practical – – – – – The essence of a dare is risk. If there isn’t much of a risk, then it isn’t much of a dare, is it? And as such, there is very little point in accepting it. I don’t accept [...]

It’s all Lyn’s fault. :P It is a villanelle and I figured out what to write it about by gazing around the room. – – – – – This wall of shelves, with books galore That someday I still have to read; And boxes upon boxes more. A certified bibliovore, I strive to sufficiently feed [...]

See, in such a highly flammable environment, you aren’t going to get nice fluffy plant material for spinning. No cotton, no linen. There might be something along the lines of [...]

Dreamwidth post So I’ve pretty much decided that this is going to be a moon of a gas giant at this point. Which of course gives me a whole other set of things to decide! First, of course, is the obliquity of the planet’s rotation. The reason this is important is that it determines the [...]

Dreamwidth post One of my favorite ideas that I came up with has to do with completely separate evolutionary tracks on the northern and southern continents. To summarize and over-simplify: the northern will be twos, and the southern will be threes. The northern continent is where my civilized humanoid biped species is going to develop [...]

Dreamwidth post One of the interesting aspects of a high-oxygen atmosphere is the tendency for things to burn. Lots. Earth actually went through this before, a couple of times, but that’s besides the point. The point is that easily-flammable plants are extremely unfavored due to the BURN BURN BURN BURN BURN AHAHAHAHA nature of the [...]

Dreamwidth post It all started with a language. To make a long story short: I began making a language a long time ago, and in my efforts to be thorough and plausible, but I am also now making an entire fictional planet for this language to develop on. SO! I am going to start blathering [...]
