New Short Story "RISEN"

6/8/2018

Within the story arc of BALEFUL, there has been a new and peculiar addition. Something stirs within a forgotten swamp somewhere within the world inhabited by Zara and So'May, separate from their own story development. This started out as some random fantasy story brewing in my head but I decided to throw it in the mix to help breath life into the world as well as add some other aspects and occurences. The world they live in is a dangerous one, harboring all manner of ancient magicks and monsters, wild happenings stirring across all walks of life.

Beyond that, I have been slacking on writing lately. Been either too tired or too busy to have the energy. Usually, that manifests some sort of story from my muse getting cooped up and ignored, forcing me to face the growing aggro and produce something new, whether it be shorty story, poem, or a random adventure. So, we will see where things go. I am still working on the next parts to BALEFUL pertaining to the main characters mentioned thus far but for now you have a small tidbit to chew on. Take a peak, see if it drives you insane, or at least alleviates your boredom.

On an extra note, been killing it on finding some choice metal lately so at least that wells not dry. Its more like a flood of thundering drums and tree dwelling traces. Stay tuned each Monday as I unleash more unrelenting devastation upon your ear drums.

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
