Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips The word for October 13th is "push" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

From my fantasy

When Alice got close enough to see, she realized that Vladimir and Viktor were pushing their cages together, and when they collided, she could just barely see Rani grab Rezina’s hands through the cages. She certainly looked less rough than before, and her mind seemed more sound now that her entire family was there. They seemed to have made up with Vladimir and Viktor as well. As Alice approached them, she heard Rani ask, “Hey, I just noticed… Vladimir, Viktor, why are your eyes blue?” “What?” Rezina asked. “Their eyes are blue. They’re usually red, right?” Rezina shook her head frantically, and Alice giggled when she realized that Rezina was thinking of her. “No… Vladimir, Viktor, where is Alice?” “She went to take her rightful place as the ruler of Wonderland.” They answered together.

This one is quite foreboding (Alice's eyes ofc are blue for context. It's deeper than that but that's all I will say).

A quick description of three of the four companions in the sequel to 'First to Fall'. (I've tinkered with various names but nothing fits!)
After a massacre in the castle, the four are off to seek help and revenge.

2 >> The wizard's eyes fill with knowing; secrets are hard-kept from one so experienced. "You've been desperate to talk about it from the moment you laid eyes on my apprentice. No one here is going to judge you." >>

"Now let's talk about you." The wizard's tone becomes gentler. "The king's squire, and so much more. A skeptic who deduces magic is real. A boy afraid to reveal his true self, even to those who love him most."

Brian's gaze shifts nervously to the floor. "I don't know what you mean." >>

Nobody knew. Nobody could have known. And if they did—would they even have cared? They walked in single file down a wide street, lined on both sides by ramshackle buildings, uneven and jagged, some bent, all covered in street art and fading calls to action. A mass of commuting bodies struggled to flow; a thousand species, a hundred models, the local and the ethereal all pushing impassively past each other. The concept of a crowd, until recently little more than a theoretical construct to her, had lost no time in becoming an omnipresent nuisance.

I really thought the only push I had in my story was going to be mother of all spoilers, but nah. Turns out there are other options, and we shall remain unspoiled this day :)

Black text, green background, “push” x3 highlighted blue Did he need me to PUSH him, the one time I didn't PUSH at all? I was so scared I'd PUSH him away. It'd just take one mistake, one confession of feelings he doesn't share to destroy the relationship we have, and I love that relationship too. I could've been happy without more. Every time I've considered what it'd be like to have him love me, what it'd be like to kiss him, I've replaced that thought with some sort of joke or prank. It's easy for me. I'm very good at redirecting my attention so I don't feel sad or scared. I have eighty years of practice. So I haven't let myself dwell on how much I wanted, at least once, to kiss that sarcastic mouth of his. Not like this, though. Not while he's drunk. Not while his head is swimming and his inhibitions are down and he sees me as myself for the first time in days and his questions are all right there in his brain begging to be answered and he's all, *Why not?* That's not love. It's just beer. I deserve better.

Oh, Ren, honey, you do deserve better!

snippet from my adult vampire horror wip🩸

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #horror #sapphicvampires

There was a lottery each week for one member of the congregation to receive a personal prophecy. People would bring some memento as a prophecy trigger in the hopes that they would be the one chosen. They wanted to hear things like, ‟You’ll have a fruitful marriage, blessed by Polea,” or, ‟Your son will recover from his illness.” They wanted to hear those things even if they weren’t true sometimes. Dad had told me that this was his least favorite moment of every week—having to decide whether it was right to lie and give hope, or tell the truth and give despair. I chose truth.

#WIPSnips The word for October 12 is HOPE

"Hope" is such a powerful word. Finding a use in THE RILL LORD that didn't spoil too much was tricky. But here is one that merely hints. A conversation between Hans and Levyathan, Dorilian's brother/son.
#WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Triempery

Finn peered over Dash’s shoulder. “Where is this Walter, by the way? He’s not coming in here again?”
“Atty has our angry German under guard.”
“I hope the gun doesn’t go off.”
“Has anyone ever told you what a comfort you are?”
