《chimère》fantasies and realities
Advertisement
ten years later.
silver and gray are silver and gray.
close to forever; wait until may.
anika and bellamy are anika, and bellamy.
translucent forevers; everyone can see.
gray still visits his love from before.
it hurts like the alcohol running down his throat,
and the smoke dancing in his lungs.
old habits die hard.
anika is anika
anika with the allure, with the ice eyes, with the kisses; nocent anika
you just can't fix something that keeps breaking itself.
it seems we've stumbled upon a happily never after.
but what is a happily never after,
but our saviors from lingering in our own fantasies?
we need not more lies.
sometimes the guy gets the wrong girl.
sometimes he makes the wrong choices.
sometimes he can't save the damsel-in-distress,
and that's okay.
because he always has the next day.
the thing about realities is that there are so many more stories of stories.
gray has infinite stories;
anika has infinite stories, both yet to be told.
this story may be ending, but theirs' isn't, not in reality.
and that's the bit of magic those fantasies left out.
the magic to keep going.

The Chalice Quartet
Four strangers are drawn together by a spell from a deitic chalice. One is a wizard, gifted but lonely and in need of adventure and companionship. Another a half-elven sorceress who is desperately searching for her siblings. The third is a giant, cast out from his home and needing guidance in the country he has landed in. And the last, an assassin whose advantages are being stripped from him one at a time. Despite their initial reluctance, the four soon come to realize that they need each other in order to survive, for the chalice holds secrets that need to be discovered and obeyed. *Chapters are published Mondays and Thursdays at midnight on my website, www.forestgreenwriting.com, and here in a more mercurial fashion, though you will always get at least two chapters per week.*

8 200DarkBoi69's mediocre, rushed and badly-written aventure
Follow DarkBoi69's edgy adventure as I move him through a shitty plot where he meets terribly-written characters like angry evil stupid villains and naive cute useless busty women. This story is not really an actual serious story but simply a writing exercise for me to focus on overall writing speed, forcefully insert some writing in my everyday life to increase productivity and most importantly help with turning ideas, thoughts or feelings into writing directly without feeling blocked, hopefully trying to achieve something as close as possible to writing unconsciously what i’m thinking about. I'll probably try to do something like writing as much in 30 mins as I can, nearly every-day. So far I've only done this once and it already seems like a pretty good thing to do. I don’t have anything planned and that’s probably going to be a constant for every one of these exercises, so it’ll end up being not very good (although maybe better than it has any right to be? ) and nonsensical.

But, to liven things up, he does let her remember everything else from her education as a princess, because a cougar with expert knowledge of kingdom finance and court etiquette could be fun.
