These symbols that convey ideas are a force and like gravity it is invisible yet quite real. #projecthumanity
#sirdavidattenborough I recently watched a few documentaries on the Eden channel, which were narrated by the legend of life documentaries himself; Sir David Attenborough.
In my opinion, killing another because you disagree with their view is wrong; discriminating against something you don't understand is wrong.
I'm sure you've all heard the saying: 'sticks and stones may break my bones but words won't do a thing to me (wont harm me).' Well I find myself wondering if that's true...
Thou doth rest in my eyes that I may behold, Beauty, oh beauty, you can heal this world, Gaze into her reflection, this love that I hold, Hardened is your heart, oh beautiful world.
#ataleoftales I cautiously crossed the doorway, deliberately stepping over the threshold.
Perpetuating motion, driving ever onward, Hills and mountains abound, I travel ever forward, Passion in delicate posts, which lead me toward, One hundred degrees of words and I see inward.
#ataleoftales Filled with conviction, purpose and Athena's blessing, I proceeded out the cell door to the dark, dungeon hallway.
#ataleoftales "Goddess..." I started and she smiled. "I am Athena but I am a Traveller, not a goddess." She replied.
Note: Ezra's tale (A Tale Of A Champion) continues in this story from where I stopped, for a few more episodes :-) #fantasy #adventure #ataleoftales ***** I woke to find myself in a dungeon and I...
There was once an odd man who lived on a hill, Dispassionately watching this world full of ill, His zeal, surreal and so much did he feel, Casually tossing yet another bill.
Alas a break from my sleep and thus I awake, On the 5th of November two thousand and twelve, These walls around me pause, look at myself, Alive, healthy, feeling good with myself, Such pools in my...
Happy Halloween all!.
#emotion Once there was a love so sweet, A love that death did once meet, Missing-you sitting alone and sad, My-heart-yearns missing what we had, Oh my dear why-did-you-have to go, Didn't-you-know...
This is a bit oddly written, I've been having fun with it :-) Imagine you're Dracula and try to read it as it appears, notice the emphasised letters and quick phrases.
Born of flesh, of muscle, of bone, Dance for joy, within your home. Sentient beings, such works, man made, Glorious strides, with plans well laid.
There was a bright light and suddenly I was back at the warehouse and I was sitting with my back to a crate. On my left side was the door Adam spoke about with a cloak on the ground beside it.
The scene was now one of the conference hall at night. There were four guards, the general, the being and a representative from the New World Order.
“You can kill me anytime you want, why are you toying with me?” I asked him and his image twitched again, instinctively I lifted my pistol.
Goodbye sweet locks of mine... Hello to you Mr. Freezing Head!.
That wasn’t my target, was it. My training suggests that I proceed with extreme caution, so I followed the directions and turned into what seemed like private land.
This is a story from A Tale of Tales, set in the Radiant Order universe. It is a story about an African soldier of a regional peace corp., who is on a simple 'recapture' mission.
Ok this might be a silly question but I'm just wondering, does the Queen have a surname. Or do royalty just discard the surname in favour of title?.
#halloween #shortstory As the young man roused to his senses, he saw beings in worn-out, hooded, dark cloaks float over him, towards the source of the light.
#halloween #shortstory There was once a young man who was born to the cloth, destined to master the 'word' of the land.
I was looking through some notes I made in the past and I found this, so I figured I'd share :-) All things that exist contain energy and there are beings like ripples in a pond, Regardless, all...
"Of course you are you, we are all ourselves. I mean... if you weren't you who else would you be" - The 4400.
#halloween Suddenly, I came to be within this pit, Skeletal limbs clawed at my feet, Dare I say, what I say, It's sight brought much dismay.
I have often wondered about free will, our right to do whatever we want; a freedom to choose what we will. This freedom is a curious notion - I think.
Hannah rose from the floor feeling battered yet surprised that she had survived the attack and the fall.
"Don't you remember me Hannah?" Daniel whispered and Hannah ignored him. "I am Rebu and so are you.
Suddenly, Daniel burst into the room: "We have to go." Daniel said and Hannah remained deep in thought.
Hannah decided that perhaps if she played along, then this whole ordeal would come to an end sooner, so she undressed and stepped into the survival suit.
Voraciously set each step no regret, Wherefore suddenly a crossroad I met, Frustrated indecision and so I vent, Calamity of choice, woes descent.
Since they arrived at Daniel's destination, Hannah had been unconscious and she lay on a bed, while Daniel hung over her with a curious looking device.
Firm my attempt to resolve, Such mysteries I aim to solve, With the Earth such things evolve, As surely as it did revolve.
"They took their time getting here." Daniel said with a smile as he stood up facing behind. "What are you doing?" Hannah asked. "Welcoming our guests of course!" He answered excitedly.
Hannah didn't have time to enjoy the details of her new car, as she was directed by Daniel to take the drivers seat and he followed into the passenger seat of the two-seater.
Suddenly the building's illuminations changed and the exit to the transport network from her office became sealed.
Hannah discussed the details of distribution, marketing and sales with Marcus for most of the morning, and her afternoon was spent ensuring the formula and initial production was up to her high...
As she got dressed, she used her implant to call a private cabin to her location and turned on the news, which played the images and sounds for her senses only.
Stolen Minds Pt. 1 INTRO: Beyond Now is a new collection I am working on, completely separate from the Radiant Order world. I am experimenting with writing entirely in third person :-).
This one is a bit dark... Oh ye desolate streets of a darkened night, Feel the beat of my feet, serene on this night.
So, I begin with the breath of a friend, Upon the shoulders of a once friend. With a spark of gratitude I came along, Then I danced and danced to the song.
Up up and far away, Watch me as I fly away. Up to the highest height, Past the sky into the night. Fire behind drives me away, So, I take flight going my way.
I really can't remember the old riddle I was told, so here is another one I made up. I think it's much easier than the last one, enjoy.
Here's another riddle in poetic form, I made this one myself :-) Ready, here it is: Attractive forces imploring me, With every fibre of my being.
Ok, so I've been working on a little build for close to 4 months now.
I tried to post this last night but most of the words got lost somehow and I only posted a couple lines...
Round around yet still unbound, Feel astounded by the sound. Full with nothing, zeal abound, Some confound the will, profound. And yet though they may turn away, Stars will spin and grass will sway.
You have three oranges and you need to cross a bridge to get to the other side with all three oranges, how do you do it. Rules: The bridge can only take the weight of you and two oranges.
I was just thinking, I spent 2 years considering whether or not humans are to blame for climate change and global warming.
Throughout the Cosmos my endless awareness, Spread, And stretch forth my every thought, living, dead and undead.
The Sun is always shining but sometimes clouds block out its light. However, with time the clouds will pass. This is the eternal truth. Change is the one true fundamental constant of our Cosmos.
One more train, 'Till I hear you speak my name. Less than half an hour, 'Till I see my lovely flower. Can't wait to see your face, And to hold you in my embrace.
It may seem difficult at first but everything is difficult at first - Miyamoto Musashi.
It's really funny, before discovering Opuss I couldn't write more than a couple lines of a poem. I guess now thinking about it, some of the song lyrics I wrote could be poems...
#emotion Unbeknownst to those that did, Unto me their gracious deed. Left me that I may bleed, For sowing an idea, a seed.
Radiant Sun fill my gaze, Drive away this worthless haze. Standing firm I will not phase, Soaking up the glorious rays.
What's contained in a word. A question not so absurd, The alphabet on a skilful palette, Roots of a culture, varying 'round the planet. Ah.
Oh great maker that I was taught, Free us from this pain and hurt, Hear my sorrow filled lament, Touch their heart that they repent.
He had thought it impossible but his love bore him a child, who also had their gift and curse.
The world went through a period of rapid progress giving birth to great men and women, people with ideas, concepts and actions.
It was a dark night this night and an old soul was preparing for a long over due sleep. He walked into his home and saw that his love was already in the world of dreams, awaiting their reunion.
"Leo, where have you been. Have you been watching the news?" I saw the face of my friend, President of the IoP on the screen. "Paul..." I started to say.
In this tale before my tale, I tell of how I did prevail, In this place, called Doam, Demons did stretch an arm.
I slowed my approach as I neared the clearing surrounding the gateway, keeping my senses tightly around me, so that I wouldn't alert the Drell sentry I knew would be waiting.
@awesomeanchovy Your questions are both valid questions.
Since you liked the last one, I've decided to share another :-), unfortunately I don't know that many. This one I remember was told to me by my uncle when I was about 14ish.
This is an old tale that I was once told a long time ago, I have decided to share it: In a distant land far away, there was a man who travelled around the land placing wagers.
"However, Tiamat has the Book of Fates hastening our efforts and we are even more restricted in what we may do in this realm." He said and slowly walked towards me, I took a step back but I felt a...
I woke to realise that I had dragged myself to the Osfig tree and hidden within its roots. I noticed that the weather had eased and morning was coming, I had to get moving else I would be recaptured.
I sit here and meditate, Silently, I contemplate, Mysteries so intricate, And plots of the syndicate.
@VikingHorn Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I think my reply will end up being a bit long for the comment box. So I figured I'd make it another post.
This story continues from where Let Them Come stopped, enjoy. I was absently listening to the radio broadcast, which had said that many were in hospital receiving treatment for their injuries.
#awesomeanchovy A good point to start is where it all began, when describing an atom and modelling its structure.
The engine was already running like it was designed to and since it couldn't be turned off, I inputted a few commands on the computer via my tablet's remote connection and levelled out its output.
The Lord of Chaos has his eye open to the world this night and the wind laden with hail stones, howls its approval.
I walked to the balcony of my apartment, watching the bustling city beneath me, while sipping a cup of coffee.
Nine o'clock Monday morning in East London and I am still in bed, even though my alarm had rang out an hour earlier.
"Do you like how you feel, mortal?" The voice asked me. "I don't, your fragile flesh disgusts me." The voice added sounding almost feminine. "If you don't like it then give it back." I said.
Let me speak plainly, Opuss inspires many. Curious characters on a page, Give a high I can not gauge. Freedom to explore, These rhymes and more, Many sides to the coin, Enticing others to join.
This is the next part of the story 'They Came': Between the ringing in my head and the small crowd that collected, I contemplated what I had just done.
Suddenly, I heard the woman scream, interrupting our fight. I watched stunned as I saw the old man levitating, as though he lay on an invisible bed, surrounded by a dark blue aura. "Babe.
Many hours had passed and I spent my time helping the homeless and giving food to the hungry.
I stood on the rooftop overlooking the city, my city, awakened by the night. The atmospheric pollution hung over the sky, momentarily denying us the shimmer of the stars.
Over and over, across and far away, Paths draw nearer with each passing day, Signal transceiver, electronic decipher, Contact is delivered via a machine's whisper.
“Leoma, jam their communications and scramble the HiVE security drones.” I commanded and within moments I could see the HiVE fleet. “Maintain radio silence, the drones will distract them.
"The time will come when you will be called to put actions to our words. Those who started this rebellion will not have died in vain. We shall not be tamed!!!” I added gauging the crowd.
I played a few more chords and plucked the last string, so that the note was prolonged inviting my audience to stop cheering and listen.
I am but an electron, where art thou my activating energy.
“Recent studies show that though most Neomen look like us, they exhibit more 'beastial' traits than normal Humans. In addition, Eugenics Inc.
As I walked through the gates I saw people everywhere, going about their duties even though it was still early in the day.
“Samson!!!. I know you can hear me. Where are you?!” I heard her call again. Ignoring her call, I went deeper, entranced by a shimmer at the bottom of the lake.
Hey all. I've been working on this idea for a little while now, call it a pet project. Anyway, I had been writing it as episodes before I joined Opuss, which I shared on my site.
Alphabetical bombardment causes dilating eyes, frequently giving humanity incentives, justified. Kind language mixed in nether objectives, persecuting questers revealing sadist tactics.
In the land of Aleia all is calm and serene as the life giving star sets beyond the horizon, nocturnal creatures of all manner of being began to stir.
Morning comes and brought with it a feeling of new discovery. He stood in the glory of its light and allowed the energy to feed his being. He shook out his locks and began his morning routine.
Endless the oceanic expanse that is the ether also as I am. Within you is me and I become another but staying as I am. Divided we stand as a trio of duality that which I am.
A young man walked through the streets and he pondered, considering times past; from times at distant shores to last night in a bar. It was dark, at that time in that region of space known as a Town.
You've probably heard of the one about a cat that is dead and alive etc. Well consider this: An individual is both attractive and unattractive depending on the observer.
