Honeydipped Static Electricity
When I read a book or
a peice of poetry,
Or when I create a story
craft my feelings into words.
I feel a spark of electricity flow through my body.
Starting from my finger tips
spreading through my veins,
jumping from cell to cell like a bolt of lightning.
A surge of emotions,
Then a split second shock,
like an idea forming in my mind
Then everything goes silent and I'm back in reality.
Sometimes I wonder if others feel this way Like the authors emotions,
their thoughts,
their ideas,
ingulfing me in fire and when it's gone all their left with is a warm lingering feeling of bathing in honey.
I wish to be a writer,
a storyteller
I wish to create worlds in my mind
like magic,
Forming whole empires from a single idea.
But what I dream of the most
is that with every page they turn as if they are flipping the pages of my mind,
And every line they read as if to peak into my thoughts,
They shall connect through a split second spark of electricity,
reaching out and touching each other's hearts and minds.
Sharing a shock of electrical currents
flowing through their body's humming in silence
to the lingering buzz of honey bee's rattling in their stomachs
as they resurface in reality.
Oh! what a thrill it would be to to share that feeling with hundreds of minds out there, to connect in-between the lines and in every turn of the page.
________________________________
So creating poetry or forming stories both in my mind and on paper is something I've just always done.
And no matter my career path in life I've always wanted writing to be apart of my life.
So yeah

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Luna doesn't remember much about herself. The faces of her family and friends, even her own name, she can't recall anymore. All this happened after she came to the world of Arkon. But wait, no matter how I look at it, isn't this too much like an RPG?! *Am influenced by many light novels, and some stuff I read on this site... I especially stole a bit of stuff from "So What if it's an RPG?!" since I read that the most recently. Translations can be found on scrya's site. Akatsuki no Yona also big influence =w= *Cover art is not mine, credit goes to... idk where credit goes to cuz I found it off google after searching Ashe from LoL fanart :P
