To Lead Astray

darkness

resides inside

of me

the light resides

inside

of me too, but

what if

the light that is

within

all of us is

darkness

disguising as

a light

just to lead us

astray?

What book are you writing right now?
Describe what masterpiece you're in the middle of at the moment. Long book, short book, etc? Is this part of a ongoing series or something new? This is the Book Club Portal after all. See if you can get other Prosers talking about it. You don't have to reveal too much. Just give us a taste of what's coming. To any Prosers commenting: be sure to offer some positive feedback and constructive criticism. Let's try to help each other out.

Hologram

I am currenlty writing what may end up being a short story or novella, I am not sure yet. I am very excited about it.

It is set in a futuristic time where most things are holograms. Everything from The moon to displays in grovcery stores are holograms.

The protagonist realizes one night that the moon says ‘error 404’ as does the bed where her roomate is sleeping, but when she looks back, everything is normal. She realizes that these things and people are glitching, and that is jsut the beginning.

I don’t want to give too much away.

Your favorite line from a song
You know when you are listening to a song and there is that one line that just takes the air out of your lungs? Share your favorite lyric with us. Tag me (in the comment section) so I can read yours. Put a link to the song if you can so we can listen to it too.

Lovely by Billie Eilish

Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here

Even if it takes all night or a hundred years

Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near

Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear

Isn’t it lovely, all alone

Heart made of glass, my mind of stone.

Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home

Do sheep count people to help them sleep?
Use this silly prompt as the basis for your poem/prose.

Sheep Getting Sleep

When people sleep,

We count sheep.

It helps us clear out thoughts of the day

and focus on anything, including hay.

but whenever sheep get sleep,

what do they count?

do they also count sheep,

or, do they take into account

the fact that there is no need

for a headcount

of their breed.

My first Fall challenge and this one is simple.
The challenge is simple enough … 5 lines where each line starts in order of the vowels – a-e-i-o and u. Tag me in the comment box so I can find and read your work ... @Danceinsilence ... "Fall is upon us all. Leaves fall, people fall. Through it all we stand tall."

Solace in Fall

Autumn is coming, and

Everyone dreads the

Inevitable seasonal blues, but

Only the darkest of people will

Ultimately find solace in the fall

Challenge of the Week XCIII
A Twist of Fate. Write about the themes of destiny, fate, or inevitability. Does destiny exist? Does it contradict free will? Anything along these lines is fair game. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Free Will vs Destiny

free will

the idea that we do everything voluntarily

the idea that destiny is a joke

the idea that what we do is what we intend to do

destiny

a suggestion of set things to occur in ones life

a suggestion that we have no control

a suggestion where free will does not exist

but

as humans we crave meaning

as humans we crave a reason

as humans we crave control

so

if free will leaves us to decide our meaning

if free will allows us to create a reason

if free will gives us total control

and yet

destiny leaves us to search for a meaning

destiny allows us to have a reason

destiny gives us little control

who is to say they contradict one another

who is to say you cannot have both

for as i see it

the two go hand in hand
