The UNIVERSAL Thing
In the year of our Sovereign Goddess, 24 and 18
I recall the scents you plastered upon your cool neck ----
What ---- two full, red moons ago?
The purplish haze in that night aided mightily with the
enchantment you seemed to conjure up. . .
to possess my soul.
I trembled, as I remember how you embraced me.
(was the chill in me or was it in your place?)
I lust to break away; but your spell has me longing
for your face.
Some thing has infected me, so, that I cannot ignore it.
Our planet's moons now climb once more. . ....

Memo To All DUP Members. (Oh God! Not Again! Not the Humor! Who the Hell Made Him Happy??!!).
Note: This is a fictionalized job title in this attempt at humor. No one at Deep Underground has hired me, or ever would, because they think I'm an idiot.
Note II: The Sequel to Note I: You can blame such people as Kunoichi, That Purple Hugging Girl, Little Awesome Ani, and Crimmy, Jadey, Tim, etc. for this horrible attempt at humor, because they're so nice, and people like Kunoichi put a smile on my face, and I start thinking these horrible happy thoughts, and all of a sudden you get this garbage! Thanks a lot guys!! I'm so mad!!...oh, wait a minute, I wrote it! OK, anyway, I...

Snitches
I know the shit was fucked when they knocked on my door
There was two in the van and they were missing two more
My ass was added to improve the math
Where he's at isn't even the half
Who the fuck told what went down
The shit that we pulled was clear across town
All four split up going our separate ways
Agreeing to reunite another fucking day
The heist was good for more than expected
Everyone laying low until nothing's detected
Burn everything clothes, tools, and the car
Hurry up and intermix at separate bars

Canis Infernum
It is not usual for anybody to have to work the 'graveyard' shift in a cemetery, the very nature of such a place tends to keep most reasonable people at bay when the sun goes down. Yet that was what I was due to embark on this night. It all started about three weeks ago, that's when the first incident happened. It was early on a Monday morning, despite it's large size - near a square mile, the cemetery was a quiet place at the weekends with only a skeleton staffing in the office building in case any visitors required assistance. So when we started some hedge cutting along the far boundary and...

Camp Fire Story (4)
The heavens opened wide and haloed the sun as it shone into the room.
Grace had been up for a while, she stirred the tea leaves, took the booklet of proclaimed spells. "Tea leaf tell, awaken the spell, I Grace Of Ydriad , Ask of you KIndred One protect me" The steam of the brew was so strong , with nausea she returned to the kitchen.
The servants had gone to do their duties, left over bread cakes, scones heavy with syrup and Blue berried pancakes met her eyes. She crumbled a bread cake. Her daughters ran into the kitchen stuffing themselves...

the fallen
THE FALLEN (CHAPTER ONE)
I used to believe. I used to be a man of Faith. I saw miracles that defied logic. I knew there was a God and enjoyed such wonders. I am not sure how I got from there to here. Perhaps you can work it out as I tell you our story.
We are the company of "the fallen", that is what we call ourselves. We are the super heroes in this part of the world, and yes that part is our fantasy. You out there in reality may not understand us, but that does not matter to us anyway, as we live our own ways, and with the chaos in your reality it has become ever easier to do so. ...
