Friday Flash and Shadowy Secrets

Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! Today in The Locker I celebrate another Friday Flash Fiction. Today's photo is on the side of bizarre, rather than erotic, but, creates many different imaginative responses. Take a look....what would you say? here is mine:



They think they see me…they really don’t. I’ve been good at deception since my creation. They wouldn’t like me if I didn’t live behind this mask—eyes wide and innocent—hiding the distortions within.

Nothing is flawless…no one is innately beautiful

Anyone who has ever seen the real me, they no longer live to give it away. Like Medusa, I freeze my victims in time, never to speak again.  Never to reveal my shadowy secrets.

They never feel a thing as my natural eyes spark and mesmerize, think a pocket watch swinging like a pendulum, then I suck their soul.

Now that you've read my interpretation, hop on over and see what the other Friday Flashers have to say about this particular photo.

Yes, we all hind behind something, don't we? I think seeing the world in a manner is very breathtaking for me anyway - but I am a mystery as well

Ok, so the soul sucking thing got my attention. This is a creative twist on the picture. There is also an underlying message about whether or not any of us ever see the real person behind the walls they put up.
Very good - I liked it.

Great Flash. Had me "mesmerized" and wanting to know more. Many people hide behind masks for some it is a defence for others it is how they play the game. This was kind of scary to me. Made me think of the times I thought I knew the person behind the mask. Only to find out I was wrong and that the being behind the mask was able to cause great hurt. **shivers**

Demise on Top of a Mountain...Blue Ink-Tuesday Tales

Image
Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! Happy Tuesday and time for another edition of Tuesday Tales. This week I return to my current demonic, paranormal thriller, Blue Ink: The Skin Stalker for our journey to the top...I present-  " mountain ". "The Skin Stalker reached his destination, Echo Mountain .   He willed his evil connection to the underworld to transport him and his sacrifice, Hannah, to the top.   He held her loosely in his arms, as if her virtue burned his vile leathery skin.   Her head hung gracelessly backward toward the ground. The wind rushed through her long hair, blowing it around her face and across her delicate features- now relaxed in the throes of death.   The end of mortal Hannah happened on the top of Echo Mountain. The Skin Stalker roared viciously as Hannah took a final breath and released it noiselessly.   Yet, in death, she smiled, confusing the demon monster known as Skin Stalker.   Her body no longer a heavy weight, i...

Just Out of My Grasp -- Life with Chronic Illness

http://store.secretcravingspublishing.com/index.php?main_page=book_info&products_id=241 Fibromyalgia - Mayo Clinic Ahoy Fellow Fathomers, I’ve decided to use my blog not only to writing, music, and other facets of entertainment, but, also to share my journey. On June 19, 2013, my rheumatologist told me the reason for many of my ongoing health problems is because I have systemic lupus, also known as SLE. But, after second opinions and many more doctor visits, my neurologist believes it is actually Fibromyalgia. At any rate, no autoimmune disease is a good diagnosis, but, to me, Fibromyalgia is a blessing compared to lupus. Thank you for listening, each week I will have a new installment chronicling my journey. Please, please feel free to comment, write, share. I hope to use this forum as a help to all of us, no matter what pain you are experiencing. You may also send stories to me via finlessbook at gmail dot com. I will respect your privacy and maintain your anony...

Tuesday Tales and a Fussy Body

Image
Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! It's time for Tuesday Tales. A group of writers gather together and give our interpretation of a specific word prompt each week. This week we share the prompt "fussy".  You never know what you might encounter when you get inside our minds.  This will be an excerpt f ro m my brand new yet-to-be-named WIP. Enjoy!~ Behind closed eyes, my mind sees as clearly in the dark as when wrapped in the rays of a sunny day, and everything is in fast forward- these clips keep sliding through so fast I can’t grab onto any single one to keep it stationary. Just like I can’t grab onto you to keep you from moving on, away from me, away from us, away from everything I know as love, as comfort, as home. Of course I can’t sleep, my fussy mind prohibits the respite my body desperately needs.   Could you sleep if you knew you wouldn’t hold those hands again so tightly, gripping...
