The city has become unaffordable and I feel I only have two viable options left. One: move to the suburbs, live in an affordable bungalow and become a commuter. Two: move to the Caribbean, live in a luxury shipwreck and become a mermaid. #vss365 #shipwreck

Caught in the in-between, where all feels temporary. She sets up camp in the middle, #paralyzed at the fork in the road. Cheap, plastic moments bring brief respites from grief, but her gnawing gut craves rich sustenance and growls, "choose to thrive, not merely survive." #vss365

I made a machine that could #predict my depression. It has bells and flashy lights and a hole that blows out bubbles. It's great. When it goes off I can stock up on tea and good movies, I can text friends with an apology well in advance of canceling plans. If only, eh? #vss365

#vss365 #Reverie Soft-shell Sally woke from her reverie when she felt a presence with her. "Who are you?" "I'm the wind of change." "I don't want to change." "You must." "But I like my dreams." "They won't take you anywhere. You have to become Hard-hat Helen." "But I'm happy."

Monsters The monsters in my head Make friends with the beasts under my bed I lay awake in search of the deep My sixth night now without sleep While rasping upon my door they keep The clock tic toc’s its own personal rhyme As ever keeping time No longer can I stand this

I knew he was having an affair. I asked him to #end it and he refused, saying it was the best thing he’d ever done. Eventually I worked it out: my love rival was my bad self. It was a ménage a trois - his two selves and my bad one. They invited my good self to join. #vss365

15th May #vss365 #prompt #end “Light is the left hand of darkness and darkness the right hand of light. Two are one, life and death, lying together like lovers in kemmer, like hands joined together, like the end and the way.” (Ursula LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness) Thank you

Those with a fear of the dark would avoid the terror and therefore miss the ensuing comfort from seeing what the might-have-been mirror would reflect. We always assume it might have been so much better, had we been better. But what if we had been a lot worse? #vss365

You know, son, my father left me with this powerful, compassionate thought. People who are so concerned with building and maintaining a #barrier do so not solely because they want to keep others out but because they know their limitations and fear exposure. #vss365

She traced a finger along billions of threads, of different hues and colours. Some of them sparkled under her touch, others became muted. At last, the #weaver stopped: one thread pulsated with the kind of energy she was looking for. Unravelling it, she hummed of rebirth. #vss365

I press against the membrane The #Barrier between the living and the dead I can hear my loved ones And friends long passed I want to tell them things I never said in life That I miss them, and I love them ‘We know,’ they say It was a dream Or was it? #vss365

I read somewhere that 97% of all writers fail to complete their first book. This little nugget of information. Strangely motivated me to strive to be the 3% whom had completed their first novel. .
