Shopping Away Forever

“This post is written for the 110 Creative Challenge Contest, hosted by Thewhitescape

The Pharmacopus doffed his cap as Faerie entered the store. Her silver bells jangled in acknowledgement of the welcome.  Faeries were seldom seen shopping in this part of Forever. At the back of the store a  Humbug fluttered its black wings in disgust.

“Pooh.” Faerie said.

The Humbug melted  becoming some child’s nightmare in the Sensed world.

She found what she sought in the deadly toxins aisle. Her silvery hand bent to the bottle marked “Faerie-Graying”.

She paid with her silver bells.

“You know what this does?” Pharmacopus asked.

Faerie nodded, then smiled.

Outside the store she drank the whole bottle. Forever faded away and Somewhere a baby was born.

C.cada: March Still-Life Pt. 1

Yesterday I mentioned that I had encouraged C.cada’s artists to get their creative juices flowing by writing some poetry, using the Tanka rhythm,  and inspired by our monthly still-life. Here are some of the responses I got.

I have seen the light.

I have journied on life’s fight.

You are always there.

There is noone to compare.

Stay and sing within my soul.

Herein lies the task…

Too many to be contained…

A reflection of…

My inner life and our times…

Working to keep all aloft.

Kicking, laughing, having fun

Throwing, falling, ouch!

Sweaty, dirty, getting hit

Playing free with abandon.
