Everything's Scantasktic
Celebrate the small victories
When you finish a task with a breath of relief of accomplishment. Take a second to commend yourself for the job done. Despite having more to do and yet to celebrate one’s successes. It is a nice thing to feel accomplished. So, despite all hustle and bustle of the day, to think that life can be scantasktic and move on to the next item in the day. Each day can be so mundane and quickly overwhelming. Looking at the positive side and enjoying the small victories to get through this life. Each time you finish a chore or an assignment at work, remember to feel good about being productive in your life.
I used this to get through the day as my scan gun would say “scan task” when one set of tasks was finished. It was a slight relief in the monotonous work to come up with such a word. The small victories have gotten me through this job.
The world is super busy, and nothing is slowing down. When your life is in so many circles, remember that even a small victory can be scantasktic time. Still, another thing needs to be finished, but at least take a breath and enjoy the end of another. Goals can be reached, and the pride of even wanting the small stuff is important. So, no matter what you are doing, it may be scantasktic.

The Vanished Flame
Spot of goose feather, the snout of a pig, the skin of a turnip, the bill of a duck, a hint of heather, warts of toads, silky worms, and sacred bark from a tree show the magic of the flame, wields its power as it may. All the witches chanted in the circle as they have always done.

I Am a Prisoner who Dreams of Prisons
The dream always starts the same: I feel the cold bite of wind gnawing through clothes entirely inadequate to protect from the weather and I realize I am standing in line. Ahead of me and behind me are other inmates, identified by the burgundy scrubs we were issued upon arrival. I don't know where we're going.

Sleeping in the Rain
Rain, rain, rain - the rain fell like dull grey, leaden bullets, tearing through layers of the atmosphere before colliding with the pavement and exploding into clouds of stinging, wet shrapnel. Sandy watched the downpour wash away the city life and fake neon colors. She watched people scurrying in the streets like rats fleeing a predator, trying to stay out of the rain that washed their makeup and plastic smiles away, leaving behind only their naked, ugly selves. People hated the rain because it reminded them that not everything in the perfect little world they tried to build was beautiful and spotlessly clean. They hated it because it reminded them that their city rested on the bones of a different city, a different age, one that had been buried and forgotten. They hated it because the old men still remembered the bullets that had rained down on them from above, the gleaming mechanical eagles that had swooped down and preyed on an unwary mother, a weakened elder, a disobedient child, then disappeared again into the stormy gloom. The younger generations did not and would not remember the horrors that their parents and grandparents had gone through, they preferred to build a plastic city on their history, locking it forever under layers of shiny offices and blinding advertisements. The people hated the rain, and Sandy hated them.
