The Door Of Hope (100 words)

By Joseph E. Lillie

 

The chain burned her ankle. Niri knew it would leave a scar. 

She ran sending her senses forth. She could feel the door, had felt it since she entered the city with her masters.

Her keen ears could hear the men behind her.

She caught sight of the blue door to the Summer Lands. She was at the threshold. One push and the door gave. She fell in.

Her foot lay outside the door, stuck. The iron could not pass.

“Owen of Noy, help me!” Niri cried.

A crystal blade materialized at her side.

Niri grasped the hilt and sliced.

THIS IS A MUST READ!!!!

If you want to know what’s going on in the world, just look at graffiti.

I swear, take a walk through the Lower East Side of New York, and you’ll get a better and more accurate depiction of the issues than even Buzzfeed will report.

And let’s be honest here: I love a good street art display. Banksy has taken the possibilities of a spray can from a crude gang tag, to a high concept art instillation. While all the while remaining anonymous…and dodging the law.

#goals…except the whole breaking the law part lol


But as I was heading out to meet up with my friends this past Friday night, I came across some graffiti that literally made me stop and take a picture.

Because it reflected, what I personally believe, is the most detrimental way of thinking, that frankly is F-ing a lot of things up.

And that…

Andy working hard…

I just recently read a FB message from a former runner who noted, after running 4.5 miles with the temperature at 78° and the humidity at 85%, that he was so drenched with sweat that he felt he could have wrung out his t-shirt.  He asked if anyone else still running noticed that they were beginning to look more like me when I used to run.  (Thanks for that, Andy.)  But it’s true.  I really could wring out my shirt after a run.  In fact, when my nephew and I used to do distance runs together,  it would be a point of pride that there wouldn’t be a single dry spot on our shirts.  It would be a sign of slacking off if there were those 2 little dry triangles at the bottom of each side of our shirts.  When I played…
