Tumbled Dreams: December 08 – December 14, 2012

What are “Tumbled Dreams”? These are the posts I made to my tumblr during the week because I felt they did not warrant a separate post on this blog. However, these “interstitials” often explain some of the backstory to the larger dream posts. For those readers that only read Three Different Ways, they may help explain some of the characters and sudden changes in plot and direction.

Harvesting a Harvester

The dark dirt of the forest floor had become mud and was slowly creeping up my ankle. It had already covered my foot.

“I see you.” My words were more mirth than warning.

The creeping mud stopped. I watched a large area of dirt around me ripple.

“Is that it? You’re not even going to try?” The mud retreated from my ankle, but held on to my toes.

A Mouth Full

“I will not surrender! I did not surrender to those dogs in Germany, and I will not surrender to whatever demon you are! I am a good Christian man, fully baptized and sealed from your unholy powers! I may be dead, but I am not yours!”

Those watching fell silent as Nathan made his verbal stand. After he spoke, there was only the sound of the ever burning fires. Then all was crushed by the weight of the multitude of rolling laughter. Raven and Boneburner alike were shaking their heads and running out of breath. I wasn’t surprised to hear Nathan’s rebuttal of his arrival.

Under The Sea

The mermaid (I think) peeled the tattooed flesh off the remains of the spelunking treasure hunter. One last pause to offer me again. I just smiled and waved her on. She sloppily licked the dripping blood then settled into chewing her favorite part of human anatomy.

Night of Reckoning

90 days ago, August 3rd, was Audacious Day. If you played along, on that day you kicked open a door denied you. You challenged something that you felt held you back. You gripped the usurper that stole your throne. Today is November 1st. Tonight is the Night of Reckoning. If you charged the gates on … Continue reading →

Contradictions

“Because you’ve become someone distinct to me. Maybe I’ve gotten used to you. I’m certainly not afraid of you anymore.” The burdens were gone and a sudden tiredness was pulling me deeper. “Because there’s ‘Ravenwoman’ the role, and ‘Ravenwoman’ the person. And even though you’re still quite the snide bitch, you’re not that bad a person. Now that I’m not afraid of you.”
