k- Slaves Do Not A Lord Make
Further along he walked softly alongside Mercury. Witches fun and dead innocents behind now. He mourned his failings, wishing he were better, always better. Filling his heart with guilt and pain he carried as the weight of oceans.
His legacy was long and troubled, tinged with greatness and tragedy. He carried almost all unknowingly, save for his line. Royal of royals he respected it and strove to better it in all ways, compassion being one. His name will drop form the story in time, his given name that is ... his other name will follow him and his offspring through eternity...

k A Tale Of Two Brothers
There's a story of two bothers. Two other brothers or the same brothers. One gets twisted in the throes of early tumultuous history telling. Warped over time to fit exigency and greed.
Both had fine brides that loved them very well, but the younger who ruled the heavens grew jealous of his elder and coveted his wife. So he conspired with the nether world to kill his younger brother. They succeeded.
They lay a trap and drowned him in the great river, causing a panic in the realm below .
His wife led the search and eventually found him nestled...

Jeff awoke to his phone alarm at 6am. Rolling over to quiet it. Then punching in his pin to check his texts, Facebook notifications, Twitter notifications, Instagram etc. Seeing the large number today he settles in to scroll through them in turn. Scrolling the titles and opening words of each, then opening and sometimes replying to interesting ones.
He pays particular attention to a co-worker's comments and posts. The blonde with the big tits he's been trying to bed. Another sexy selfie she tagged him in. Ogling her pic in a tight fall sweater with a come hither look, has his lust...

Osculation
Raindrops clung to the glass of the bus shelter.
Seeds of liquid silver illuminated by the glow
of the streetlights.
Mist hung suspended in the cool evening air as
rain fell from the midnight sky. The pitter patter
of it hitting the concrete attended the sound
of your breathing.
Two hearts beat in rhythm as the world seemed
to fall away. Your wet hair clung to your cheeks
as you stood shivering, only inches from me. I
could feel the goosebumps on your arm as my
hand brushed past it.
Your sanguine lips parted...

k- Present Incoherent
I sleep infrequently and sparingly. The apartment is too cold and too hot and I think it's just me. It's as cluttered as my mind is these days. My practical memory ... google, and my personal memory riddled with mysteries.
I dream tales ... stories, fantasies, horrors ... truths? I don't know. One night I am a mighty King, loved and revered for wisdom and a child must be split ... and Mother defers ... and I wake sweating. Another I'm a soldier with a flint musket, rushing up a hill bayonet affixed and ready to skewer a Redcoat with young terrified eyes. I run him through and...

The Girl With Indigo Eyes
I was just another poor bastard out last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve... again. I sat in the bookstore, sipping my coffee and attempting to narrow down my shopping list.Waiting until the last minute to shop made sense to me. I didn’t agonise over what to get people. With time running out, whatever I picked for the people on my list, they got. No "should I or shouldn’t I?" The pressure is on and this is what they get. The pressure sucked, but my methods worked for me.
I spotted her out of the corner of my eye. She came walking down the aisle near the corner coffee shop. blonde,...

k- The Ways The Mind Poisons The Heart As In The Heavens As On The Earth
The nature of Magik is pure. The nature of those who invoke it is ... suspect at best. To wield it creates a responsibility. Though most invocations are neutral in this, conjuring a cloak or summoning an article of clothing, some tend to fall outside this area. Altering one's perception or reality. Manipulating one as a puppet, Enchanting, carries more serious affects.
This never stopped those who use it from carrying out dastardly deeds and might explain the Karmic effects befallen them in later times. The divine ledger, as it were, checking off each box as appropriate to the...

Billy and Bobby Greenfrog
BILLY AND BOBBY GREENFROG
Billy and Bobby Greenfrog lived in the pond behind the Sutter place. The two shared a lily pad on the
eastern side of the pond. Billy and Bobby were talking one day. Billy said, “Bobby, I have been thinking of
moving to a lily pad in the center of the pond. They are bigger there and we are getting cramped on this
little pad with all of our stuff.”
Bobby replied, “We sure are Billy but how are we going to move? We collected
all of this stuff when we were already living here. That...
