Came across these graphics I designed in Canva for my YA dark fantasy series Witch Doctors Inc some time ago. Can't wait to get back into graphic design & digital art. For now, the novel awaits... #amwriting #writingcommunity #animestyle #magicalgirl

The sheriff said he'd #collar the suspects, but we knew he was lying. No one cared about missing humans. We were the inferior race. That's why we stole the submarine. At the bottom of a lilac-swirled lake, we found him. It isn't over. Not by a long shot. #vss365

I bring the moon to work with me. It's a pearl in my pocket, or a balloon tied to my pinky. Every now and then, in the moment between a tick and a tock, I allow myself a #sweet dream or two. #vss365

#Sweet rain, you are my only friend. Only you know what's inside me. Teardrops in a crystal bottle, locked in my heart. You howl them at the world. #vss365

This New Year, I have a #resolution : I'm going to be a doer, not a dreamer. I'm going to exercise, eat healthy, get my dream job, and leave my toxic relationship. I can't start today though. I'll do it tomorrow. #vss365 #WritingCommunity

It was #prompt. She uttered the curse, and the meadow yawned into oblivion. Plants shriveled. Petals cracked. Sunlight browned. She drank it all, ecstatic. The violence of nothing. #vss365

"Velociraptors didn't look like they did on Jurassic Park," my professor told me. "They were only just over 1.5 feet high and they had #feathers." Great, I thought. I spent my childhood having nightmares about chickens with sharp teeth. #vss365 #WritingCommunity

Christmas tree, I'm taking you home with me. I'll shake laughter from your #feathers. Collect winks from your baubles. In the monoblue evenings to come, you will be my Christmas eve. #vss365 #vsspic

The Ancient One had spared the lives of too many humans. A #descent into bloodlust, then..perhaps a reflection on the wall, or a butterfly of light. The words of a kind-eyed rabbi, behind the sand-battered walls of Yerushalayim. Next time, it told itself. Next time. #vss365

The AI wouldn't stay within its #parameters. She asked it for a bite to eat -it whipped up a 3-course meal. She told it to walk the dog - it came back with a 1st place medal from the Happy Pets Oceanside Marathon. In the end, she pulled its plug just to watch sparks fly. #vss365

#Mycelium moon, do you never sleep? You are embedded in the earth, spread across continents, connecting oceans, spirits, the things that move and the things that don't. You are in my mind, planting spores. Insomnia is made of you. #vss365

There are no stars anymore.The #tardigrades got rid of them when they took over.They didn't like trees either. The moon? Gone. They kept mist though.They like to float around, looking cute. Waiting for something bigger and less intelligent to come their way. #FromOneLine #vss365

I had a dream about #tardigrades. Water bears holding blue balloons, floating by with smiles on their faces. They have a lot to smile about, tardigrades. They can survive anything. I don't have their armour, and dawn calls. I take a balloon and hope for the best. #vss365

#Yes, he wasn't human. But hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of years ago, under this same hot sky, among trees like withered fingers, someone had buried him. Lovingly, with a sharpened rock clasped in his palm, and a smile on his face in the shape of forever. #vss365

#Home was here, then it was gone. They say it reached its expiry date, but I knew it could have lasted longer. If only we'd held on tighter...but we didn't. And it's gone. I will miss you, Planet Earth. #vss365

Glycerine rain, tapping on leaves. Leaving the world in mirrors. Whiskers, soft and beaded. The scent of baby powder. A #train on the way back to somewhere, and melodies full of sky-blue. I wait for you, old friend. Come back to me. #vss365

The squirrel watched the #acorn bobbing in the #rain. I wondered if it hated the rain, or itself, for wanting what it couldn't have. I opened the spellbook once more. When I finished, the acorn was still there. So was the rain. The squirrel was gone. #vss365 #vssfantasy

When it #rains, it pours. Grandmama said so. But when it rained, it did more than pour. It cut. It bled. Diamonds fell from the sky. Haunting, deadly glitter. Elegance isn't the story, grandmama explains. It's the words. #vss365

This idiot #troll. He's always under MY bridge. I found it first. I'd barely eaten three humans before he stole my spot. The nerve of him, saying I'm too fat to fit under there anyway. We ogres are simply big-boned. #vss365
