• Seeing Words #ShortStory #BlogBattle #photograph

  They say a photograph is worth a thousand words. That might be a cliché, but for me it is the truth. You see, I’m mute and deaf. I can’t speak or hear. I’ve got my eyes, though, and I see things in a photograph that the average eye cannot. The truth is, I only need…

  Genre: Science Fiction — #BlogBattle: Surfer Finally! He’d passed all the holodeck training courses. The last one went way better than he’d expected, and Rifynn was stoked to try out his new skill in the real world.

  #BlogBattle Week 54 “Leviathan” A herald of a time long since passed. A whisper of the days to come. Its breath fills the air with heat but leaves the bones of men chilled with unutterable fear.

  ****It’s the end of Wednesday. You know, I wrote half my story for this week before I ran out of steam. *sigh* I guess I’ll try for two words next week. I’ve never missed a battle yet, so this is disappointing, but that’s life and illness. I’m feeling better today. Bronchitis hit me like a…
