August 15 - A shifting of shadows
A shifting of shadows was all the warning she had before he swooped down and pinned her with his gaze.
"What were you thinking?" he hissed.
Teeth flashing, she snarled back, "He should know better."
"Rayella," came the un/only slightly sympathetic response. "You are off patrols until further notice."
"WHAT?!" the puma like shreik brought bats down from the rafters and had her cats puffing twice their size. "You can't tell me what to do! I am a valuable resource!" You!"
"You made a stupid move and took it too far," he cut through her tirade with one sharp comment.
I was going to write more. I even have quote marks and the word "and" ... but nothing else. This is a key scene I have been avoiding for a long time. The fight that leads to Rayella quitting the superhero business for a while and running away to have her kiddos. This takes me a step closer to writing the scene where she loses her temper and beats the snot out of an abusive man. Yay?
Day 15 - People in a Jam
"Poems prod. They aren't meant to be a puzzle. ... it's like a secular prayer."
There are two schools of thought on that. I rather like imagery based poetry that allows you to interpret what the author is trying to convey. On the other hand, straight forward poetry, that doesn't require thinking or too much imagination is relaxing and entertaining too.
