Bones [Original Fiction]

[lumiosecity]

The bones sing to her, sometimes— a faint whisper on the wind, the jingling of bells, a mother’s gentle croon. She is the only one with ears sharp enough to listen, and so they spill their secrets from way down in the cold, dark earth, the poor, lonely things.

She isn’t yet brave enough to sing back, but one day, she hopes to find her voice and tell them about all the things they’ve missed since being buried.

Wow. I love this. It's very atmospheric and moody...

Cherry [WWE, Danhausen/Liv Morgan]

[lumiosecity]

This close, Liv smells like cherries.

It’s the last thing Danhausen should be noticing right now, still trying to steady himself after she’d floored him with a slap, but it’s true.

She smiles, all teeth, and he can only respond in kind.

Distraught [Original Fiction]

[lumiosecity]

“Hey, hey, easy now, don’t cry. It’ll be okay, we can fix this, I promise,” he says, voice soft and level as he kneels to his little sister’s height, one hand going up on instinct to wipe away her tears.

The broken toy can be fixed, but his first priority is calming her down.

The cherry stem was rough between her fingers. She toyed with it, feeling the weight of the cherry pulling down on the end. As she did so, she tried not to think about the bones she had found in the backyard, but she was too distraught not to see imprints of them in her mind.
