Octa haiku
Inspired by the quadra haiku competition.
Light and heat we need
To: see, survive, cook and heal,
With fire, we evolved
Together we breathe
Air above and all around
Blows and flows everywhere
Water within flows
We drink to maintain the health
Of body and mind
With earth we create
We build, feed, protect, and store
Elements of life
Flames burn, flying high
Breezes blow, flowing freely
Rivers flow onwards
In earth, things will grow
With light, water, and air
An ever-changing world
Elements we use
And ones we have abused
We can choose a better
Fire, earth, air water
We work with you create
The future of Earth

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
