dense wood, rocks, and seashells
The wind reminds me of her…
Frayed rope holding chunks of dense wood, rocks, and seashells knock together. The wind reminds me of her…
My teeth tear through flesh and my mind skips a beat... I offer her some… Fire fills the cabin, my mind fills with panic. I run for the door but there he is, blocking me. I shout with smoke in my lungs masquerading as oxygen.
He fears her.
Dense wood, seashells, and rocks save me. I wake up to the cabin unburnt. Hand still offering no one a bite of rabbit. The wind saved me… because the wind reminds me of her….

The Scaleless

The Tale of the Red Rose Petal
In the vibrant souk of Marrakech, where the scent of spices and tea filled the air, a young woman named Aisha waited anxiously for her lover, Khalid. The crimson hibiscus flowers adorning her dark hair seemed to match the flush on her cheeks as she peeked out from behind the intricately carved wooden shutters of her family's riad. Her heart raced with anticipation, for tonight was the night they would finally be reunited.

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.

This is so atmospheric, David. I'm not totally sure what's going on but I don't think that matters because it's like a dream - indistinct and yet, vivid simultaneously. I liked it.
