Powers: A Haiku

Some may call one's art An expression of the soul, Or a reflection. The truth runs deeper: With the right abilities, Art can be much more. The Man knew this well, Knew what his art could become -- For he had a gift. He could look within, See your secrets with a glance, And discern the truth; And the truth he wrote, Five, seven, and five in turn -- The form of Haiku. Once, people marveled, Flocked to hear his artistry, Strange yet wonderful. Some laughed, others frowned, Upon hearing of the truth Hiding deep within. But as time went by, Fewer people stopped to hear, Kept away by fear. The gift became a curse, But the Man was not surpri

A Dreemurr's Tale -- Chapter 6

The scope of the outdoor garden was impossible to fully appreciate from inside of a moving car -- it sprawled like a floral labyrinth in all directions, the hedges and trelliswork hiding secluded alcoves and sheltered pathways between the larger garden plots, organized by their gardener into an easily-managed pattern. Birds flitted from perch to perch, bees and butterflies moving merrily from flower to flower as the two collegiate Boss Monsters roamed the garden. "Your dad sure knows his way with plants," Cora commented as they walked, looking out at the floral forest around them. "I can only imagine how long all of this took. Was it anywher

A Dreemurr's Tale -- Chapter 5

Cora rubbed her eyes as she leaned back in her chair, letting her retinas clear for a few long moments as she took the chance to stretch -- she's been hunched at her desk since class started, laboring away at her end-of-year project before her plans for Thanksgiving break got in the way; Asgore and Toriel had invited her to join their Thanksgiving dinner, and even if it wouldn't have been rude to decline the invite, she wanted to see for herself how the King and Queen of the Monsters chose to live. She glanced around the room. It was lightly snowing outside, the cool breezes of fall all but ready to give way to the cold bite of winter, thoug

A Dreemurr's Tale -- Chapter 4

Cora braced herself against the door as she climbed out of the car, book-filled messenger bag slung over one shoulder and resting against the freshly lint-rolled school tee shirt as she looked out at the campus. It had been a few days since she and James had awoken to this new version of reality, a strange midpoint between their own world and UnderTale’s – so much had changed, and yet, as she looked out over the gathering crowd of her fellow students, it seemed like a lot had stayed the same under it all. She closed the car door behind her as she stepped away. Much like her housing options, her transportation options were much na

A Dreemurr's Tale -- Chapter 3

The click of the door locks mirrored the fading sounds of Ollie's footsteps, Cora having bid her friend goodbye while James set to washing out the kettle and teacups. The Boss Monster stood in front of the door for a few more moments until the rumble of an ignition marked Ollie's departure, before wandering back over to the couch and flopping hard into the cushions. "Was that as jarring for you as it was for me?" she asked wearily, dropping the facade of calm cheer now that it was no longer needed. "A little bit, yeah. My major changing came out way too naturally for my liking. I mean, it fits, what with Asriel being a prince, but...and that

A Dreemurr's Tale -- Chapter 2

James jumped at the clatter and clack of his front door unlocking from the outside, his worry assuaged by the call of "Back!" from Cole's still-vaguely-familiar voice. "I think I grabbed your door key by accident on my way out," she explained as she stepped back into James's room, tossing the wayward brass key to James. "Dunno how, but maybe I got one of your pockets when my pants changed around." James blinked in surprise at the key that Cole was showing him. He hadn't misplaced his own, not that he remembered. And as he dug into his pockets, his furred fingers found a small brass object, which he pulled out. Cole hadn't taken his key - he

A Dreemurr's Tale -- Chapter 1

James was hooked. His close friend Cole had recommended a new game to the avid PC gamer -- an indie title from the year before, UnderTale, a faux-16 bit RPG with a strong air of EarthBound to it. While it didn't look like much when held against the other games that had come out that year, James had quickly discovered, like Cole had before him, that the simplistic style belied a deep and touching narrative -- stuffed to bursting with well-rounded characters, sympathetic struggles and a powerful dose of genuine emotion. And now, only 4 hours in, he was hooked. Hooked enough to power through the random encounters, their difficulty increasing w

Flexible

Flexible Written and Edited by Nitrinoxus Maxwell was flexible. This was an indisputable fact. He was never the type to have a concrete opinion regarding what he wanted to do; he frequently defaulted to the suggestions of his friends, and whenever asked for his thoughts on the matter, his standard response was "Eh, I'm flexible." This habitual indecisiveness drove his friends up the wall, but they'd long since given up on trying to change it. Maxwell was also fond of cooking. This was another indisputable fact. He was regularly found scanning through recipe books at bookstores and libraries, and enjoyed trying out new and unfamiliar foods

My Bio

Yo, all. Nitrinoxus here. Feel free to ignore everything that follows, it's time you'll never get back.

Figured I should update this after noticing how out-of-date it was. Not much to really say, though: I'm still mostly the same writer I ever was, albeit with a lot less confidence in the value of the few skills I have -- life does a fantastic job of wearing away your reason for living, doesn't it?

I know most people would probably use this space to talk about how they've been doing art for years and years, and how they aspire to become a great artist known around the world, etcetera etcetera -- but I'm never going to amount to more than a hobbyist in anything I do, whether that's writing or my current academic dalliance with photography. There's no room in the world for another pathetic writer, and none of my other artistic skills amount to anything... so I guess my parents were right in telling me I'd never make it as a writer, huh? Suppose I should've changed my aspirations to 'McDonald's cheeseburger flipper' like my mom suggested for years.

...Anyway, never mind, it doesn't matter. Thanks for coming, sorry in advance for wasting your time here, and don't worry about being kind in the comments -- anything you say, I probably deserve.

Ciao, all.

Well, my father's selling my home to pay for a retirement property, so I guess I need to say goodbye to my sense of belonging and the meager sanctuary I've built for myself these last 20-odd years. Only found out about the deal last Friday, but it's being closed tomorrow, and I'm expected to be packed and gone the Friday after in all likelihood. Emotionally fragile and broken down from the funeral, stressed as all hell over my future, and now this on top of everything else... It's all I can do to not just end it all right now, spare myself any further suffering...

Hello. I'm a random llama giver. uwu Here's a llama for you~!

Also...

We invite you to come check out our Kickstarter! You can find out more info here!:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yenniefer/remote-angel-volume-2

You can get to read it online to determine if you want a hard copy! It's linked in the Kickstarter. :3

Genres are: Drama/fantasy/apocalyptic/thriller/action/Romance

If you like Demon Slayer, Re:Zero or Steins; Gate, you may like our story!

Will you consider being a backer to our project?

We offer rewards such as: the book, a full page ad, art requests, your OC in our webtoon update (with credit and link backs for promo), and much more!

(Sorry, this is a self-promo. Doing it this way is a little tedious, but I feel reaching out to people feels more personal to get to know who we are. It's hard for us artists to get out there too. Olawdy, I feel so bad if this is annoying so feel free to delete it. If you're annoyed, just delete it without responding. It takes a lot for me to gain the courage to post this haha. This is a one time comment for those I give llamas to so don't worry about it happening again. I'm just trying to gain more feedback and readers! Groups don't really help anymore with getting out there. Feel free to self-promo on my page as well. I don't mind anyone advertising to me in return! Anyone's welcomed to!)
