Well… For now. 😉 It seems strange for me to be typing this, but here’s the last round of entries for No Theme Thursday before it goes on hiatus. It will be a brief one, but all the same, it feels weird, I must admit. Before we get to the main event here, I want…

Transference
So many, many years ago, you took everything from me. My family, my place in the tribe. Everything. For years, I wandered, alone, swearing an oath of vengeance upon you. So many times, I thought I had taken my revenge. I had seen my spear pierce your chest, only to see you alive weeks later.…

Energy Ascendant
Headed toward destruction Just past the speed of light A star gone supernova This will be my final flight Said goodbye to family Said goodbye to friends I went to sleep contented Content to meet my end The life I lived was good Well, maybe not so much A relic from another age So distant,…

No Theme Thursday: 05/30/24
Good day to all, and welcome to this week’s edition of NTT. After giving it some thought, I have decided that after this week, it’s time for a break. The main reason for this is that, if I am being completely honest, I have been struggling to come up with what I feel is fresh…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (13)
Korv the Barbarian had taken his leave of the village for a few days. He felt in his soul that he needed time to himself to contemplate things that inhabited his thoughts as of late. He left quietly in the evening and set out to find his solitude. He spent many an evening staring at…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (12)
Weeks had passed and Korv assumed his new role within the private army. The men were good and of hearty stock, and the wages were fair. Korv had also been granted plenty of leave time. The post was rather easy. Almost too easy, to be more accurate. Korv had been so used to the unending…

Solitary
Ten year sentence. You didn’t break me. Beatings with nightsticks. You didn’t break me. One stinking hour in the yard. You didn’t break me. The weight pile. You didn’t break me. Sleep deprived. You didn’t break me. Solitary. You didn’t break me. Thousands of pushups. You didn’t break me. Alone with nothing but my thoughts.…

To Simpler Times
It used to be so easy, you know? All I had to do was show up with a contract and they’d sign without fail. Like that Johnson kid. All I had to do was wait at the crossroads, parchment in hand, and it was a done deal. Man, could he play a mean guitar. Okay,…
