Day 9: 2 o'clock
Two O'Clock
Comes late to the day
Comes early to the night
Sleep evasive
Sweet dreams

exhaustion burns
scorched sky slumber

Drabble: Day 7: Sign
The brown velvet slopes gaped wide, just over the lip of the
hill, into the maw: the inner eye seeing come one, come all. Sprinkling of
toothy lights, biting the darkness, eating luck and chance. Ceniza knew today
would be the day…or was it night? The light never changed here. She grew weary
of Jeremy’s façade, the bastard. She noticed a small, poorly sewed patch on his
backside. Someone tried to repair his waistcoat, but it was starting to show
its age. So was he. Though the Eye saw come one, come all, she was beginning to
see, too. Clearly.

Day 6: This means a lot to me
Nearly all of my 1,306 posts (not including this one), are about what means a lot to me.
Because it's not the posts -- you all know that -- I don't have to spell it out for you.
/bow
/thank you
Day Five: Early
Sometimes to explain a theme use of contrast works well. Case in point:
The late, great, Ceniza, the Ash Witch of Theramore:
Yes, this is our fiery mage, lying face down in a rain puddle of troll-y slobber and sweat, in virtual limbo between 'release spirit' and a 'member is still in combat.' Fortunately she has her mourning glory sprouting out of her tail, memorializing the moment, and adding a smirk to my face. Ah, the indignities of death in LFR! The shame! The lack of blink, or ice block...oh well. For the concept of "early" I first thought it logical to see how many posts I've written about my early morning insomnia, but that would have taken me all day. And as far as early goes, for the most part, I like it. I like getting up when I do, having the house to myself, writing, making coffee, etc. It's those early mornings that run into long days in Azeroth though, where I fall down the rabbit hole and time and space is bent and deformed, like some cloven Rip Van Winkle. It is known I shall never be early for anything in Azeroth, though: I will never be a realm first, or do anything first, no blue ribbons or trophies here. But that's fine. As long as I can have magical flowers growing out of my fanny and take pond naps, I'll be fine. Just don't call me late for mana cakes, okay?

Day Four: Fresh
Day Four: Fresh
In Stormwind, there is a little flower shop, and a young girl named Little Adeline will request a hug, then shower you with rose petals. She's kind of creepy, and perhaps a bit touched in the head, but the sentiment is sweet. Takes a lot of rose petals to get the smell of wet dog out of the air.
This is about as fresh as it gets.

Sticky posts-post: Challenge Accepted
Okay, I am sorry about the previous post. It made me laugh. But then again, I am not built with the same parts as men are, and I shouldn't have giggled. I am sorry. Truly. Friends again?
This idea comes from Tycertank, by way of Erinys, and Ababeko's. Screenshot-A-Day Challenge.
Day One: N
"Naked."
As in - naked, scared, and alone alt:
Recha is a Draenei monk who can't keep her heirlooms on her frame - she's given them all to Luckycricket, who is also floundering in Western Plaguelands, drinking with Argent Dawn soldiers or some such nonsense.
Another 'n' word: neglect, and lots of it.
Day Two: Incomplete:
The Wrathion questline:
Please, Mr. Tiger Sir, please, I appreciate your coaching from the sidelines, but could you do something about those bubbles of boiling hot dragon blood? Having more RAM has helped a lot - I died in forty seconds, not twenty, so there's progress!
