Although I feel like I would need to keep adhering to the old character limits, the current changes almost misses the point of the whole exercise.
Ok wow it’s been seven years since I’ve logged into this account. I might have to start this up again.
He dropped the red stone into the bowl and the water bubbled. From behind them he imagined the sound of distant flutes. "Try the blue."
Five years later, this one still might just be my favorite. 🐰🎩
Scanning the library shelves, a title catches his eye: his own name. Confused, he flips to a page in the middle… I began reading the book.
The King leapt to his feet. "You have forgotten your place!" Her laughter was like shattering glass. "Impossible, for I never knew it!"
It is a monument to impermanence. We are a congregation of the dying worshiping an idol of smoke perched upon an altar of fallen leaves.
Each morning freshly fallen snow reveals strange tracks. What sort of animal has feet to produce such marks? An angry wind howls in answer.

It rises like a spike from dark seas, shard of a broken and long-forgotten world. 'Who shall rule Great Xâ Tower?' the old song asks. Crows.
@chootalks I enjoy your art quite a lot. Great mix of emotion & the surreal.
The fortune teller exhaled smoke. "Impossible to say. You are so young. Your future changes with each new thought that pops into your head."
The sly spring moon creeps, its presence unnoticed until it fills the sky. The silver light spins stories only cats and wolves can hear.
Cold forest moss tickled her feet. Leafless branches hung defiantly still in the wind. Here, among ancient starlight, she could remember.
