Just flip it
have you tried turning it off and on again?
Signals raced like ants on a starless night, looking, searching, fighting their way through a maze full of communication. Random routes driven by infinitesimal conductors controlling the chaos. A hand patted the wall, the thought in the dark complete. Touching the wall’s rough surface, searching for that smooth area. Lifting the protrusion on that smooth surface; a switch flipped. Light chasing the darkness away.

When you held me
You held me without carrying me. Through the years, the difficulties and triumphs, you’ve always been there. Taking care of me when no one else would. How can one express that gift given straight from the heart? The selfless choice to bring me to your world. Tending to me even when your patience often wore thin. Building me up, block by block. Words hardly express my gladness you adopted me. Thank you mom, not by blood, but by bond, for everything. Thank you for taking me in.

Perfect Little Pirate
The rough, sodden rope bit into her fingers as she swung over the roiling water far below. Reaching out with the toe of her boot, she managed to catch hold of the rain-soaked railing of the ship- and promptly slipped. Throwing herself forward, she landed hard on the deck, slamming her elbows against the wood planks. The sharp yelp of pain quickly bubbled into a laugh, and she rolled onto her back, laughing up at the gray sky as a torrent of rain washed away the soot covering her skin.
