Beaming Ball Of Light

Balled up yet with such power there no way you can fear.

You blast me with bright beautiful spears of light that pierce the stars if close enough.

You are safe from me and all others as long as you are balled up.

But inside you want to hurt nobody you fear hurting people but do it because you scared.

Close the door and open your heart for there is no need to fear the light and there is no reason...

Lilli

You call yourself a creature,

With a strange defense system.


But it’s not your fault.

I tell myself I’m mad at you,

And I am.


But I still love you.

And I’m going to love you no matter what.


You put up walls,

When you find yourself loving someone,

Because you don’t want to get hurt.


And I’m sorry I failed, at filling that gap.


You are my sister,

And my roomate,

And I wasn’t careful en...

Precipice of Darkness

Bright beaming light, bursting out of every orifice


Its incandescent powers hang on the precipice


Blinding overbearing rays of absolute raw fury


Its piecing unforgiving glow has grown blurry


A once unfailing barometer of illuminating terror


Now destine to live in bleak darkness forever...

Never Spook a Lintiunti

The Lintiunti, also known as the Ticking Puffball, resembles a large pom pom. This species is native to non-tropical islands with lush greenery. It is made up of many single-celled organisms stuck together like Velcro. When it senses danger, they drop bonds and scatter to the winds, as if they were dandelion seeds blown by a child. These have sharp spines, which usually face inwards, like a revers...

Threw Me Aside

Her out of anyone anywhere

You chose her?

That total nightmare

You threw me aside like a pile of shit

Why did you have to tell me right after we split

I know you feel sad

Broke

Hurt

And bruised

Just know I feel bad

Fucked

Ruined

And used

Not for you not at all

You wouldn’t have hurt me

If you felt anything you would have called

I know she’s pretty

I know she’s smart

I know she’s everyt...

Astralisk

A unique creature it was. The size and shape of a wolf, with a forest green coat. Behind their dark green ears sat curled horns. The horns were dark black and were the first line of defense.

But they have a second. Much like the surrenderence position of a wolf, Astralisk roll onto their backs. When their attacker pounces. Razor sharp quills shoot out of their body.

Because of this, Astralisk’s ha...

The Best Defense Is A Good Offense

No matter what was said to her, she took it the wrong way. It was an attack. Bad intent. Potentially evil.


Her coworker would say, “Good morning!”, and she’d report her to HR.


Life itself was literally an assault on her emotionally and physically.


So like all creatures, she learned to adapt. To always fight back. To always deflect. To never let anyone or anything in.


She was hard, on...
