War
"She had the sort of face men would go to war for"
"'She had the sort of face men would go to war for,'" Kendric read, and laughed.
Silas tapped ash off his cigarette. "She must be a looker."
Kendric wasn't listening. His smile continued down the page as he read. Silas watched him quietly, curious.
"I think I'd have trouble going to war for anyone," Kendric admitted, closing the book and turning his smile onto Silas instead. "You?"
Silas gazed out over the rooftop and didn't answer. You. I'd go to war for you. Two years' worth of words bubbled up into his throat, blue as Kendric's eyes.
"Nah," he said.

We were going to take these home and have a fish fry. We had a good amount for the whole family. I'm glad I went out with my grandpa today. A lot of my expectations weren't what I thought they would be. I thought today was going to be awkward but instead it was a great bonding experience. I can't wait for the rest of the summer and Coven City. Hopefully I can teach my grandpa how to shoot hoops or play video games. That'll probably take a while, but it's worth the wait, I love my grandpa and grandma.

Why I Purchased Some Shares in Vocal Media
Use what you own, and build up that nest egg, regardless as to what the economy is doing at any given moment. For some writers, Vocal Media is a site that is life changing, and for others, it can be quite misunderstood. Investing in Vocal Media shares is not a get rich quick scheme, and neither is being a writer (now part-owner and writer). Everything takes time. Egg hatching is no different to the time it takes for a caterpillar to turn into a butterfly.

You just keep turning out amazing work. Another amazing piece!
This is heart-warming, heart-breaking, & utterly charming. HandsomelouiithePoet is going to wish he'd written this one as he's gonna flip for it. Amelia, I've said it before but I'm going to say it again, you have a gift!
You squeezed so much character and heart into so few lines 😁
So bittersweet! I really felt for Silas. Well done!
Wow, that was profound❤️😉💯
