Mannequin Fantasies
August 18
Show less
Bodies exposed

strip searched by

fuzzy yellow circles

moving from head

to toe, illuminating

the world for your pleasure.

Pansies gag open

mouthed women

barred from the

outside, trapped

caged.

Glass eyes reflect

yellow beams of light

see yourself stare

at the naked

bodies.

Do you love them now

for all that they're worth?

Calliope was made to be a weapon. Now she must decide who she really is.

Loyalty will be tested. Shadows will rise. And hope may be the most dangerous magic of all.

✨Now on sale for $3 on #kofi! ✨

➡️ ko-fi.com/s/b99f2643a2

#writingcommunity #writesky #bookboost 📢📚💙🪐

Do you like dark, medieval fantasy stories with flawed characters, hot men with sad pasts, and a morally gray female lead who literally goes from villain to heroine?

$Calliope was created to be a weapon. But when her power leaves a city in ruin and guilt begins to crack her hardened heart, she flees into the wilderness, pursued by soldiers and hunted by fate. Across the fractured kingdoms of Praecanto, an ancient war stirs. King Sloan calls for unity, desperate to face the dark forces gathering in the shadows. But distrust festers, and not all kings are willing to kneel to fate - least of all the young and bitter King Rowan, whose decisions may doom them all. As old prophecies awaken and the line between light and shadow blurs, Calliope must choose: remain a pawn of destruction, or fight for a future she never believed she deserved. But in a realm ruled by betrayal, loyalty is rare, and hope is the most dangerous magic of all.$

Day 17 - not a lot of happiness for Jackson written in GB yet, so gonna steal a little wip snippet from the prequel

Shawn sat across from Jackson. He looked at the pages and cocked his head to the side. “Whatcha doing?”
“Signing my life away,” Jackson said.
Shawn frowned. “What’s that mean?”
Jackson met his gaze. “This is what I have to fill out to adopt you.”
“Oh.” He leaned across the table, examining the documents. There was a lot of text. Paragraphs on paragraphs. In certain places, Jackson signed his initials. In others, he signed his name. Shawn’s brow furrowed. “Do I write my name, too?”
“Do you want to?”
Shawn nodded. Jackson slid the papers over toward him and gave him the pen.
“Put your initials where I did.”
Shawn’s tongue stuck out of his mouth slightly as he scribbled two letters next to Jackson’s JRs. When he finished, he signed his name in his best print below Jackson’s signature. He looked over his work and smiled. “Done?” He pushed the papers back toward Jackson. Jackson looked it over and smiled.
“Looks good to me.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s it.”
Shawn frowned.
“What’s wrong?”
He shrugged. “I dunno,” he started. “Wasn’t very exciting.”
Jackson laughed lightly. “Welcome to adulthood. Were you expecting fireworks?”
“I dunno.”
“What do you want to do?”
Shawn shrugged again. He glanced over at Jackson. “Can I get a tattoo?”
Jackson snorted. “No.”
“But you have a million,” Shawn whined.
“You’re not old enough.”
“How old do I have to be?”
“Eighteen.”
He groaned. “Fine,” he said, thoughtful for a moment. “Can I give you a new one?”
Jackson met his gaze. “What? You want to give me a tattoo?”
“Yeah,” Shawn said, lighting up for a moment. He grabbed the pen, moved around the table to Jackson, then looked him over for a moment. His arms were already covered, even in places on his neck. He lifted his shirt, found an ink-free spot on his side, and carefully outlined his initials.
“Now I’m stuck with you forever,” he said with a satisfied smile.
