Introduction, to an #introvert, is a lifeline in a society where knowledge of who far outstrips knowledge of what. Take me to a person and strike up conversation or I am left hopeless and forgotten. I want to talk, but without your help I'm silent. #vss365

Simple joys #awake my soul. Keep my heart afloat. A swallows song, The babes of spring Whose winged mothers Slave to bring Them up to face the peril of the earth. And bees who dance From bloom to bloom Tis nature makes life worth Its tortured part. #vss365

On a steed of dreams I #gallivant the world. Lying safe in bed Adventure unfurled. Imagination wanders Exploring all the wonders That I could never hope to see In life Tied down, But free To ride My steed of dreams. #vss365

To #vanish into nothing, To fade inside a wisp, Escape into a dream world Where pain does not exist. To live, like you, beneath the earth A corpse creating life, From where I stand all I can do Is drain the world of light. #vss365

Life And death Harmonious circle of existence, The eternal #duet Of two opposing forces At constant war Frozen in peace #vss365

#Furtive glances shot across the room. A sly smile from him as she nervously bit on her bottom lip. A subtle not towards the bathroom from her. Neither of them noticed the knife in her husband's pocket. #vss365

I didn't ask for you, I needed you. #Besotted from the start. I didn't ask for you, I lived with you. You stole my beating heart. I didn't ask for you I cried for you Nine lives reduced by one I didn't ask for you I was given you But without you how could I go on? #vss365

This morning my cat was hit by a car. I was terrified. And appalled that someone would do that and not stop to see if she was okay, or find someone. The vet says she should recover, but the fear of her not is still there.

#vss365 They first came to me, young, breathless, #besotted. Every year they shared a picnic & poetry beneath my leaves, bringing children & grandchildren, dogs, friends. This year it was just him, he left her with me & I expect his ashes will join hers one day.🌳

A perfect pair of swans are gliding by On glass like lake, disturbed not by their touch Such beauty show they, no feather awry, In love each nape doth to the other clutch. Their struggles 'neath the surface out of view But always working hard to stay as two. #vssdaily #swan

A second figure emerged "Stop messing,we destroyed their sun upon descent". It tossed the towel aside. The alien leader hearkened back to when they obliterated planets from space. "Gather the earthlings,we need them". An ugly horde exited the ship screaming. #vss365 #7DayStory #D

Hundreds fled from the sandy shores. As a small green figure ambled down the ship's ramp with a towel over its shoulder. It lay down on on the beach and frowned. "What happened to all the sun?" It #critiqued #vss365 #7daystory

It looked similar to a blue whale but 7 football fields longer. The ship’s descent slowed and a #fracture appeared at the end nearest the crowd. Like a gigantic maw, it widened until the bottom slammed into the sand, making waves reverse course. #vss365 #7DayStory #D

"Don't just slash willy nilly. Griffon organs are expensive." Ferrak didn't mind taking #critique from a professional, but this interfering little gnome had never lifted a sword in his life, let alone killed a monster. He stabbed the beast's heart and smiled smugly. #vss365

The nurse smiled. He kneeled down and placed a hand on Ella's shoulder. "She will." He said. Ella smiled an unsure smile. The nurse pulled a stethoscope out. "I think you've got a #whopping big heart inside you." He grinned. "Shall we have a listen?" #7DayTale 12 #vss365

Ella and Tommy were shepherded away from the #yodeling screams of A&E by a friendly nurse. He took them to a small room with a playstation; so Tommy was happy, and lots of other toys. Ella sat and stared at a doll's house. "What if mummy doesn't come back?" #7DayTale 11 #vss365

Paramedics burst through the hospital doors. "Adult female, snake bite, she's conscious and #Tacky. It's been about 20 minutes." They wheeled Ella's mum in on a stretcher. "She'll need an antivenom stat. And can we do something with those kids please." #7DayTale #vss365

At the ambulance, the paramedics did a #sterling job. They had mum safely belted into a wheelchair, the venom hadn't had time to take effect, and were slowing the circulation to her arm. They even let Ella turn on the sirens. #7DayTale 9 #vss365
