He thinks he’s suave in his Ray-Ban sunglasses.
“Sorry,” he grins, “I can’t lie, I dig hot chicks!”
“Uh-huh,” I nod.
He puts on welding gloves and reaches into his pet carrier. Seeing red, flaming little birds, I squee.
“Baby phoenixes!”
This guy *is* suave.

Now trying to work up the *third* concept for a story to submit for the 'Fire' issue of @scifansat.bsky.social... the others just didn't get anywhere 😒.
On a related note, does anyone know how to get forehead indentations out of a desk? Asking for a friend.

We knap flint until evening. The woman makes fine arrowheads, I’m impressed. She smiles at my half-done spearpoint.
I set wood. Placing a crystal, she sings a song of flame. Fire kindles. Sorcery! This woman surprises!
I offer the warmth of my arms.
We are no longer strangers.

Every #legal dates cycle of each #monthly calendar sent most characters through burnt pages.
Although, 1461 days kept battling February 29th curse to compete with at least four distinct Halloween street rushes on October 31st.
Including tomorrow.

A new fire crops up, dancing across a peaked rooftop and along the city’s skyline of half-timbered buildings.
Church bells toll as the flaming dragon leaps to the next gable, its long body a flaming arc.
It turns. It sees him:
A last hero against the inferno.

I was born in a village where it was #legal #monthly to have a a Halloween sacrifice, to ensure the gates of hell would open October 31st.
Only I learnt today, being that today, I’m the sacrifice; that the orchestrators are the hidden in plain sight, aliens amongst us.

I’m over the moon my haiku sequence, “Children of the Moon,” is in the #SciFanSat October issue!
The Moon’s odd characteristics have long intrigued me.
When Apollo 12 crashed the LM onto the surface, the Moon “rang” seismically, because of its rigid, dry structure.
WHAT IF someone put it there?
