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.

For those, who like to hear me read to you, my microstory 'Confiding' - inspired by #vss365, #mpotd, #Whistpr, #MicroPrompt, #MastoPrompt, #rise365, #BrknShards & #vssnature.
When I #glance|d at the snow globe with the #fox & the hare #cozy|ing, #water filled my eyes. This #impression! I had my act together, the loose ends rolled up to a neat ball of thread, but some events #traumatize a person. I closed my eyes, confident I'd solve my mind's #puzzle.

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.

When the white hare appeared, snow began to fall. It sizzled, when the white flakes got near the couch on the field, that was burning like bridges. The #maize was already harvested, most of it to be used as #fodder for cattle. ...

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.
