Black Sands

 

One of my intentions for this year has been to get back into a writing habit. How's that been going? Mixed. I've been doing some writing. I've developed a bad habit of justifying RPG related stuff as writing. Although, in fairness to myself, it kind of is. I've read so many more RPGs than I've played, and I don't read anything I don't enjoy. So good writing belongs in RPGs. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, we're not aiming for good. We're just aiming for writing, whatever writing is. So I wanted to bite the bullet with this post. Sit down, write something, post it. So here it is.

-Till next time!

Black Sands

You wake upon a dark shore.

Pale fires light the sky.

The lake is flat calm

The surface swirls iridescent.


A tuneless song hums from

A tiny tent, wax canvas

A fishing rod rests on

A bone tripod


The angler asks

What brought you here

You think


but 


can’t 


remember.


They laugh as they tell you

That the palace lies over the hills

Beyond this beach you see

The high and rocky round-topped hills.


The screech

Of a terrible bird

Echoes unseen across the lake.

You’d best be on your way.

But, of course, you still have questions.


What do you do?
