A prophet, a mercenary, and a doctor walk into a tavern. The doctor starts to tell about a plague. The prophet interrupts him and says “I know how this ends.”. Three tales of leadership and trust set in a fantasy world rebuilding after a calamity.

News from the garden front:. This may not look like much; but, when I bought some seeds on a whim, I was expecting far less. I hoped a few might sprout and I'd get a plant or two, but I didn't expect to get any flowers. Now I dare to dream that I might even get a cape gooseberry.

News from the garden front:. I found this giant lurking under one of my birdbaths, and although this slug is quite large I don't know what it has been eating since most of plants show no signs of damage. But, I should probably catch and pickle it to bribe our latest vss365 host.

News from the garden front:. Despite the rain today, I had an alarming encounter. Though I had been trying to get a picture of this young lad or lady for several days, I was shocked to learn that this juvenile cardinal was already a delinquent.

News from the garden front:. It was a bit of a scorcher, and so it was a rather quiet day as well. Other than the birds squabbling over the baths, not much seemed to want to move about, including myself. I also think it fried this guy's brain, since he'e not exactly camouflaged.

#vss365 #sapphire

News from the garden front:. The rains came as expected; and, a good thing, too since this week has been miserable. But the soaking has inured my plants against the worst of it, so they're happy, unlike this poor spider who's unlikely to catch anything in her web so white.

#Fastprompt 198:5 2/2.I take a look outside and gaze across an #alien_landscape and now I really regret the fact I forgot to charge my phone. I mean, in this day and age, who's going to believe me without video evidence or at least a picture? However, I’m still not going outside.

#Fastprompt 198:5 1/2. I don’t know how long it took, because I did end up dozing off, but my building finally stopped swinging and I am none too pleased. An odd greenish glow is oozing in through my window. Although it is against my better judgement,. .

#Fastprompt 198:4 2/2. I fall back in the opposite direction. Luckily, I trip ending up on my bum and grab onto a table leg as the light from #sol streams in through my window. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that my entire building was swinging from some kind of giant pendulum.

#Fastprompt 198:4 1/2. Then I hear a clunk from somewhere up on the roof and a weird “wubba, wubba, wubba,” before a terrible tearing sound makes me cover my ears. Next thing I know I’m stumbling toward the window, and, right as I’m about to slam into it,. .

#Fastprompt 198:3 2/2. While considering my options, my eyes pass over my wall, past the astronaut in his #space_suit, over the poster of a Ferrari, until they come to rest on a kitten hanging from a tree branch with the advice to “Hang in there” and that’s all I need.

#Fastprompt 198:3 1/2. “Woah! I’m outta here,” the mystery man yells next and a niggling doubt makes my will start to waver. In the silence that follows, my imagination fills my head with all sorts of frightening things. .

#Fastprompt 198:2 2/2. However, then comes a shout from the other side of the door, “Dude you have to get out of there!”. And I have to admit that my resolve is weakening a little, until I remember what curiosity did to the cat. So I am not going to fall for it.
