floating

The anesthetic made the color slowly drain from the world. Karen felt a soft weight over her whole body, and then everything went black. It was a deep sleep that seemed to go on for hours.

When she awoke Karen felt strangely lighter than she used to and there was a strange tickling near her shoulder blades. Stranger still she felt something where should have felt nothing. She tried to turn to look behind her only to find that she was tightly restrained. She opened her mouth to scream but no words came out.

Hit & Run

As Dame Francesca’s host drew near
each wearing plates of steel,
the wizard in his feignéd fear
did turn upon his heel.

“You cannot run, you simpering knave,”
the dame called out to him,
“for I have twenty horsemen brave
awaiting, at my whim.”

“You cannot flee, this shall end here,
you’ll answer for your sin,
and for not yet another year
you’ll terrorize my kin!”
