《Eternal Requiem》The interlude that never ends
Advertisement
You see life is a cycle
A pointless cycle maybe
But that’s only if you look at it as that and nothing more
The trials and tribulations, the friends, the enemy’s all the choices we make
That’s brings meaning to the meaningless
And I
I’ve lived a life I couldn’t control
Who or what I was
What I wanted, or thought I wanted
All out of my control
……..
…….

“What will you do after?” asks my white haired self,
She’d been passively observing everything as they unfolded,
“It’s true that everything that has ever happened and ever will happen is destined to repeat,
But that’s not what my journey was ever about,
After you’ve fully returned to me and I gain access to all my memories,
I’m releasing them,
I don’t know where they’ll go, but humans weren’t meant to be a collective,
We are species that value individuality more than anything else,
I already have my few memories of being Kage,
My memories of me being me and not anyone else….”
“…..” myself, she does not reply instead nodding before disappearing, and becoming definitively me.
…..
I feel a rush as all the positive and happy memories flow through me
No,
I shouldn’t even call them memories
Souls
The souls of all that had come before and all that I’ve interacted with,
Everything becomes clear
I see all
I know all
And I am all
It’s ironic that even though I plan on releasing all these soul
I may probably never forget any of these memories now,
(So much for being just Kage)
But it’s what I chose
…..
I wonder how you would describe this?
Is this sad?
Maybe happy?
Or is it anticlimactic?
Anyway you look at it I don’t mind
Because I chose it to be this way

I choose to let things repeat
I choose to let people die
I choose that because even when people die people live
I choose it because amidst all the bad and the trauma what we remember are the small moments that were genuine
The moments that make a bad story slightly below average
Haha~
Or an average tale good
I choose to let life continues on as it intends
I choose to embrace the dark while dancing in the light.
All the history, lore, truths to me was never the point, it is and was always about these moments the times where I decide things for myself, on what truly affects me.
Because…..
…..
…..
Listen to this:
Dance , dance, Bathe in the sunshine
She gives you warmth she burns your eyes
You’ll get older and she’ll still be there
Burning when you sleep
Burning when you stare
Run around her as many times as you like
She’ll keep on shining her glorious light
And if you’d circle a thousand times
Nothing would change except the wrinkles on your face
Fall asleep
Sleep forever
She doesn’t care, her light it stays,
Your friends will cry but soon they’ll join
Sun in the sky has seen you come and gone
She’s seen you go
Your mother and hers and hers and hers
She’s seen the beginning the very first
With every run you make around her,
Lights get hotter age older
She plays a song you cannot hear
A rhythm of fire melody of light.
She’s heard your songs they come and go
Some fast some of tempo slow,
So dance, dance, dance in her glory
While your songs are in sync and you still have a story,
From bird to fish to ape and whale, they all play a tune
All have a tale
A song of life it never goes away
What’s your song?
Have you heard it?
Played it?
Just make sure don’t ever waste it,
You’ll hear it begin but not when it ends
But does it ever end?
This is poem but not really
I call it Eternal Requiem.

Cymurai
In a dark future, something ancient and immeasurably powerful walks the mutant wastelands...Kensuke is a lowly ashigaru footsoldier in the Tachiyama Clan, one of the few remaining human settlements in a dark, post-apocalyptic future. Thousands of years in the past, deadly nanomutagens were released across Asia, killing hundreds of millions and transforming billions more over subsequent generations. Those who remained immune soon moved into enclaves. In Japan, the feudal system revolving around the samurai class was revived, and resource wars became common.In the present, the Tachiyama Clan is under attack by the brutal Sasagawa Clan whose goal is nothing less than the total subjegation of all remaining human enclaves. Both sides take to the battlefield with human soldiers, robots, and the powerful Augmented Samurai -- cyborg warriors who do battle by plugging into six-meter-tall mecha.Hard sci-fi samuraipunk action!Posting schedule will be slightly faster in the early chapters as I have most of them ready to go. Later chapters will take more time. That said, the outline is written and finished. I imagine the full work will top 50,000 words.Please note: The first 9000 words of this work were posted recently on Patreon (free) as part of a 30-day writing challenge. The work that will appear here will be complete and may differ in editing and chapter order. IMAGE SOURCE: Illustration 171244302 © Grandfailure | Dreamstime.com (Paid)

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
