"Season of Marigolds (Part 1: ...He's Got A Gun)"

 

Overtures kept time by the pitter patter of droplets.

"Herein lay the souls of lamb. Come hither and partake."

The glistening dust lined with fawn-like features calls out in echos of cosmic expanse. Neon nebula of nuance...the entirety of elemental bliss. Absolute frozen love encapsulated in retinal crystalline. A Diamond. Azure perfection.

Soft treading lends to silence as we flank the gates.

Tap. Tap tap...

"Shhhh! Look! Leave the guards to me...you make for the side door."

I try to remember that nature has a weird way of working things out for itself.

Predator & Prey.

Evil & Innocence.

Cosmic Balance.

...We all die alone, but really though, HOW alone?...

Time. To. Find out.

That poor dog.

Dad wasn't looking forward to trying to impose his height. I almost gave my hand away. These little shadow boxes can be very open when you pay attention. You could almost write an almanac to their friendly demeanor. Luckily for me that wasn't the case this time...unluckily for his family more than him...they get to see it it...well...sequentially.

"Oi!!! I don't hear sirens...SOOOOO?!?! We're ready? Yes? YES?!?!"

Indeed.

We. Are. Beyond...ready.

It still astounds me how hard it is to cripple someone in a single blow. Like, seriously, it takes...A FUCKTON...of practice. Protein, carbs, solid cardio.

Bleach. Ammonia. Bottle.

The youngest went down pretty easily.

You can't see what you don't hear.

Yeah. That made sense. Believe.

She tried to claw to the molding but, vegan hands don't stand a chance against steel-toes and superhero level determination.

You will cease.

Please stop.

Stop.

Crunch.

Squawk.

Crunch crunch crunch.

Eep.

"Holy fuck! This...this is...god fucking damn! YOU! YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF!"

Half time. One car missing and that means the visitors have the advantage. Eastern locusts sing their song in tall grass along the road.

Dim lighting give ease from the cement shoreline. We share a bottle of their best while we wait for the rest of the happy unit come a-running.

"Oh. This is going to be THE best SO far! SQUUEEEE! I'm so happy!"

...glossed eyes stare through old glass...

..."Pssst! Headlights! We...Got...Company..."...
