@cattailnu "I cannot help you," the doctor had said. "When the voices in your head have started building cities and electing a mayor, there is nothing modern sience can do for you."

@cattailnu Castles... We all have castles in our mind, just to prevent thoughts to get inside. İt's has been built for protection of our minds. Do they do their job well? Does it protect our mind from "evil thinkings" or harm us with their walls.Done. İt was about cognitive biases.

@cattailnu Rich people. Show-off Idiots. Why the hell did that damn Orchstards had to build their hotel here? The DESTROYED our sacred mountain! The spirits moved away! Now it's just a tourist attraction! I hate this! And look at it! It's horrible. It' doesn't even look like me!The Mountain Spirit wasn't amused. His home was now a theme park. What he didn't want to accept was that now there were LOTS of people who came to "worship" him. And a ride that kids love has his name…#WritingPrompt

@cattailnu Those cognitive biases has a reason: To make thinking simpler. That's why they are there, but they also cause problem.

@cattailnu There was this castle, sitting atop a mountain that looked as if someone had chiseled with great care a face out of the hard stone. It had always been there, this giant overlooking the bay underneath it. Sometimes clothes and bags were found on the sandy beaches below and people would say that on these days the trees suddenly seemed a lot healthier than before, with crimson flowers adorning the thick branches.

@cattailnu Facing the light. Leaving the darkness behind. Beach and cranes. Neither are dark places, nightmares.

@cattailnu He sat, waitingWatching the waves as they rolled endlessly to the shore & then receding again only to begin the dance againStill he waitedIn, out, in, out, like breathing or the beat of a heartEyes scanning the horizonSlowly becoming fused with the rock surrounding himWaitingOne breath after anotherA part of the landOne beat after anotherWaiting for the dance to endWatching the wavesWaiting

The command to the mages was clear: build a castle overlooking the water with a decorative face and a huge party-deck as a mouth. Memorable, you know, when seen by approaching ships. They did it. Charged us 3 lifetimes, 40 life-incomes, and 2 redberry cream pies. Now I don't mind giving them the cream pies, but they didn't do the job to my satisfaction. How are we supposed to get our groceries up there? How are visitors to visit? What were they thinking? And don't get me started on the plumbing.

@staringatclouds Thanks! It's fun reading them. I really started posting with the intent of writing something on each myself, but I've been time-crunched due to covid delays.

@cattailnu "Wait!" Without thinking, I reached out. He paused but made no motion to turn. I froze just as he halted, my fingers mere inches away from his now tense form. I withdrew my hand, albeit, slowly. "What happened then? Talk to me!" I pleaded.I stared helplessly at his back until he faced me with haggard eyes."It doesn't' matter. We were fools back then, and we're fools now. When we built our legacy it thrived, but we paid for it, in every generation. That, I can say.".
