@Raftronaut It's funny, I was just mentioning the NES Batman (89) to someone the other day as one of the few NES games I couldn't beat for the life of me! LOL

@cattailnu It was truly soothing. The liquid soothed the anger in at least some of their extensions. The casting light continued to remind them of what happened though. To them, time seemed to stand still. To the rest of existence, a few millennia had passed. However, no amount of time passing will ever erase its memory of what happened; of how the Lichthians had taken everything from it, leaving it a withered husk. This liquid would help though. It would finally know relief. And then...

@cattailnu Oh for the days when the haunting of our souls was simply a natural beast - drawn to our deaths by our own hubris. The crimson & mauve fires of this new world were something else. Pleasantly drawing beasts of all natures to be 1 w/ it. My own soul seemed 2 burn within me, 2 be 1 w/ this supernatural event. Truly super-natural, something beyond what I grew up w/ as natural. Beyond.The songs of the animals called to me & I answered.

@cattailnu Each line on his face was a memory, a memory of her. Each scar he bore reminded him of the battles he had fought - w/ her, w/ the workers, w/ the representatives.He never saw his kids again after her diagnosis. He thought the knowledge would help them come to terms with her actions and their childhood. Maybe it was just the excuse they needed to walk away.Even through all that, he hoped. He held onto the hope that at the end of it all some kind of reconciliation might happen.

@cattailnu "HEY! LOOK! SEV, LOOK! IT'S UNCLE REX! HE'S STILL ALIVE!""Stop shouting dummy. He's not alive. He's taxified.""TAXIFIED? WHAT'S THAT, SEV?""Why are you still yellin'? It's like suspended animation, but, ya know, permanent.""SO...I mean, so, once the clock gets to the big ex & the big eye then he'll be free to come over for kibbles an' bits?"Sev just looks at Danny. "Hey, I smell some bacon.""BACON?!?!?!?! WHERE? WHERE'S THE BACON SEV?""If you'll quiet down, I'll shows ya."

@cattailnu You could feel the frustration of the landscape. Roger Edgars rocked back and forth, his chair sliding gracefully in the groove his thoughtfulness had created.Mother Nature had worn her own grooves in her porch, and it looked like she was about to renew them. Her passion created paths and opportunities for all those in her care to flourish. Roger knew that his kind had messed with those paths and opportunities. And he sat there content to watch as the paths were renewed.

@cattailnu The setting sun held promises for Lou and Rachel. The journey had not been easy, and they had stumbled many times along the way. One foot in front of the other was their mantra. One step at a time. One mile at a time. As they stared longingly at their destination, Rachel seemed to hesitate. She didn't want to tell Lou what was happening, but soon he would be able to see for himself. For this moment though, hope and love were all he could see. Maybe he couldn't admit it to himself.

@cattailnu Where was his pit crew? Randall looked around, panic beginning to set in. He needed his crew here so he could be sure he was going to race well. It wasn't every day they let an ape race stock at NASCAR, & if his crew didn't show up soon, it would be the last time this opportunity came his way again.Finally out in the distance he saw them, a line of ridiculously good looking apes clothed in pit crew gear & carrying his car on their shoulders. Sweet, Randall laughed to himself.

@cattailnu "Over my dead body." Sheilagh punched Ivy in the face. Ivy fell to their knees, a sandy hand covering their now glowing eye. Silence fell in step with Sheilagh's hearbeat. One beat, two beats, three beats. Ivy didn't move, Sheilagh stayed planted. "You can go now." It was slightly muffled by their hand, but the sadness in Ivy's voice was crystal.Sheilagh turned away, unsure of herself, & reached out for the JD. "Don't even think about it. Just take your hat, & truck & leave."

@cattailnu Shelley was waiting patiently for her guest to arrive. Everything had been prepared exactly. The oranges placed just so, the pilaf with green onions, & the fish. Heaven forbid she would forget the fish. It was the centrepiece of the meal, the one thing her guest said they could not do without. Well, duh, thought Shelley, the recipe was pretty specific & she is superb at following directions. The eye was even looking in the right direction. It seemed, actually, to be looking at her.

@cattailnu The red hue bathing the columns reminded me of blood. The war was over, the remnants of the war forever etched into our land - sky, sea & soil. I sat & watched as the elements painted the night canvas, changing it from dusk to dark.Could I ever be the same again? The statues held nothing for me anymore; their wisdom used up. But did the land hold anything for me? What I had seen led me to believe there was nothing for me there either. The end of war does not always equal peace.

@cattailnu Know that you are seen. Even if you aren't heard because of the language you choose to use, you are seen. I see you. It may seem absurd coming from me, I know how I look to you; be assured though, I understand more than you think I do. Not as much as I'd like to understand, but enough to know how to see you, and the others. Our ways aren't so different. I am careful how I speak and calculated in what I choose to say. I want to be heard. I want to be granted an audience. Do you?

@cattailnu Alone at the edge of all things, August Shapiro looked at the future. It was a bizarre standoff. Was he the last? He had no way of truly knowing. Were the two of them the last of their kinds? Again, no way in hell of knowing. This was absurd.August looked up at the 10-storey-tall creature, surprised that earth's gravity seemed to pose no problem. Absurdity piled on absurdity. Well, it just comes down to this moment I guess. I could run & hide & wait for another day. Ah, f*!% it.

@cattailnu Would that I could give to you all that you have given me, your heart would break and your eyes would melt. Why haven't mine? Because centuries of hardships passed from mother to daughter, from aunt to niece remain in the very fabric of my being. I am made of that which is stronger than any act or emotion you have in your arsenal. Our wedding may still happen. You may enter me. I may bear your child. However, know this above all things - if these things pass, I will bury you.
