An impractical costume, to be sure, but it made an impression on our conquests, and the Captain enjoyed the view.

And after our spoils were tucked below or trailing behind ship, I took pleasure in his undivided attention and his groans of pure lust.

Pretty sure this one was supposed to be published in August, given the nautical theme. Hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing summer with lots of water, maybe some sand and plenty of butterflies :) What would your two line story be?

The message whispered and hummed and crackled, a sizzling fire morphing upon brazen wings.

Then it dispersed, orange embers floating away, turning to ash upon the carpet, leaving him with nothing but the fading echoes of that goodbye.

Emo anime boys are a staple at this point, I’d imagine. So here’s a pretty one with a morose end (or beginning) to his love life.

By some trickery, only starlight pierced into the Oracle’s cave as her voice turned breathy and frail.

She told me my first love would leave me early, only to return and kill my second, and that both would be men of power and prestige – though of differing kinds and with differing people.

Got to be creative when there’s a female in the picture, but there’s always a way to make it work :) Apologies for not scheduling the last few weeks. No excuses. Kids are back in school and leaving me time to become sane again. Love you all!

His sponsor’s daughter had been born with an invasive disease that returned year after year…after year.

He obeyed reluctantly the first few times, but it got easier, and when it did, he changed, became a man unrecognizable, a man I no longer trusted, so I fled, not anticipating him following.

I had another story for this image, but it didn’t have any kind of relationship mentioned, the referenced plot in that one dealing with the transfer of souls versus the death of them. Plus the one above, while seemingly sadder, also has a happy ending, where the one I ending up not using seemed happy at first and then twisted sadder.

So better all around I guess :)

This title was difficult as well. The first one was “The One Thing He Couldn’t Stand to Lose” and that’s just a mouthful of awfulness. Granted the title I settled on isn’t the most amazing thing ever either, but it’s…better XD

What would your two line story be?

Like many beasts of the sea, they only grew as large as their environment allowed.

This one would be a gift to that sailor he’d once take up with, that was, if the man ever returned to port.

Lawl XD And what would happen if the sailor ever gets his gift and then releases it into the sea? Would the creature come back and be a friend? Or attack the ship because it resented being kept tiny?

Honestly, it doesn’t matter much, because the sailor is probably one of those guy-in-every-port types.
