from the eaters comes something to eatcavalier
what's one more earthquake in the swarm
and anthropology aside
the gene pool is doin' fine
it's not like
i'm some dead dog on the side of the road
and you're the conjunctivitis that killed me
me ...
the alchemist in mid-
self-transmutation
a maze of mazes up his sleeve
and the shape of things to come
is quadrilateral at best
for we beasts who braved strange
coruscations
to now just blindly clash and
split our heads

Ode to SimplicityBlack and White, an Ode to Simplicity,
an easier life, with less strife, all purity.
Time elapsing with lackadaisical smiles,
candid with tactful treats and wiles..
Evolving gracefully into a world of new,
where dreams really could come true..
Far from the over zealous trends of today,
high resolution, colors of a retina display..
Touch everything, and the reeling clock,
flurries of little drones, entirely caught up..
..Technology surges an impersonal phase..
Now, the further we grow,
the farther away we remain..
Nostalgia is an old photograph that had meaning,
instead, some dude's dinner is main-streaming..
..Monochrome selections and filters get applied..
Though we're moving forward,
we're always reaching back in time..

Life ManagementDear Human,
This is to inform you that life as you know it has been binned. There were a lot of complaints regarding life as it had been, so it was decided that a new system be adopted, which will hopefully be pleasing to everyone. As of now, life is an RPG. There is no need to worry; this letter outlines everything you need to know.
First things first. You will not age! That does away with the whole search for everlasting youth thing. No need to bother scientists with genetic research and the like. Convenient, huh? Instead, you will gain experience points as you defeat monsters on the field, which will allow you to move up from level to level and become stronger. This will allow you to be able to kill stronger beasties and become even stronger, until you hit the roof, level 99, at which nothing will pose a challenge to you anymore. At this level, you can either choose to revisit old areas and watch adversaries shrivel up at your mere presence, or you can head towards one of the crazy-

The Urban Legend of a Creature of Bad Luck

Nyterenge:
A long time ago, there were no people and there were not as many fears. There were the occasional fears from creatures of predators and things, but it wasn't until people came in that the fears grew bigger—and worse.
In a pocket of space and time, a creature was sleeping. It had been asleep for a long time, feeding on the occasional fears and nightmares the living produced. There was nothing in its little bubble; only dark energy surrounded the creature. It didn't mind—it had what it needed.
This creature had rabbit-like ears, with mouths on both ends. They contained sharp teeth. It had eyes and teeth on its stomach and arms. On the back it had pinkish spikes and black wings. Its feet were small but its arms were double the size. It also had a large tail, and reddish eyes. Some fur at the top of its head was the same colour as its pinkish tail. Spikes adorned the creature's fur.
One day, the fears grew bigger. The creature didn't mind it at first, because

I know this is WAAAAAAY past late, but I couldn't read the journal on my phone and by the times I used the computer, I had forgotten about it.

Thank you SO much for the feature! This warmed my heart up.
