Goodnight from the No. 34 bus, which appears to have taken an unexpected diversion into Faerie just outside of Oakgate. Goodnight from Jennifer Hollingshead, wishing a pentalpha ring of Solomonic authority was available in the Green Shield Stamps catalogue. Goodnight from Hookland.

Slow build on the dragon tail scales.

I'll likely do a fire thing for the tail tip.

We walk August's heat. Rumours of abandoned farms calling. Feet stir chalk dust phantoms that whirl and grab at us. It's only halfway across one particular field that the dread rises. A knowing we're trespassing on more than property. A knowing that we are intruding upon the ghost soil. – #DAKilroy

It’s not yet 7am, but the train is now so packed that we’re shoulder to shoulder.

A padded bag is protectively being held between my feet, like a baby lion cub. Inside, is a 4.56 billion year asteroid fragment.

Flash memory of being about 5 years old and going to my female cousin's birthday party. As a gift, I remember bringing along a child's umbrella with horse-and-cart design. I recall how the sepia and pink colours made me feel melancholic, and how my auntie enthused about the old-fashioned print.

Every night you wake up and find yourself slowly drifting upward from your bed towards the ceiling. You roll over and pull yourself down to your mattress. Your arms and legs cling to it, as if grabbing hold of the underside of a falling elevator.

Every morning you wake up with no memory of this.

Feel free to keep people anonymous if you’d rather. The one requirement is it must be true.

I didn't choose the slug life, it chose me. Slugs are so underrated. There's a bigger variety than you'd think and all are cute in their own way!

Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.
