They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them
At 11am, I'll be in church alone with my thoughts for a few minutes.
Then to the pub, raising a glass for those who cant.

“Who Said I Was a Wizard?”
Character art I made for a D&D campaign I’ve joined after another one ended. Roan is very old school wizard coded (with a touch of druid). Portraying a witty grandfather and former farmer thrust into a dungeon crawl amid a party of otherwise young adults is good fun.

Until such time as Esme could #measure up to the levels of the other characters in the group, Rory had to return to an older character, Pithea, for participating in group adventures. He didn’t mind a bit of nostalgia, but he wanted to do something different with Esme.

Nobody wanted war. Not by any #measure. No-one in their right minds, of course, but no-one knew what went through the minds of The Enemy.
Dylan knew that, in the past, it was those in relative safety that sent the young out to die. This war differed in that there was no safety. For anyone.

A wind howled, gusts of gale force rocked his house to his delight. He methodically toiled at creating a carrionette with a silver needle he'd learn of from his gothic literature. Being an invalid & shunned by his neighbors, he'd conjured a plan of revenge. #horrorprompt #vss365

It wasn’t a #total #shock, only changed its #shape #slightly. Imperceptible to the casual eye, but it was there. Their “what if” experiment had worked. Though small, it had monster implications. This time next year they would have a creature only writers could have dreamed up.
