Fade
As I scroll through pictures of
My past, I wonder
How many moments have faded into
Oblivion,
With no formal record to remind me.
I used to keep receipts
From good times spent
Before everything was so
Well-documented.
My family would tease
For the habit I'd picked up
Somewhere
While I reminisced
That trip to a fast-food restaurant.
I still keep mementos
No one else would understand,
A piece of ribbon, confetti, a
Dried-out rose,
Unable to let go
Of the memories,
The people that have left my life
Where only scraps remain.
Blue-Grey
I am Blue-Grey
Cool on the outside, yet
Stormy on the inside,
It's hard to see, at sea
What lies beneath, but
There is something always churning,
Yearning for more
Than what's on the shore;
What's in store
For the future
No one can tell,
Well,
I, for one,
Am no longer satisfied
With the status-quo
I'm using my
Gift of Time
To find
Something more.

Derrick Pthalo, semi-retired henshin hero, has decided to take up magick as a hobby. Along the way he's gathered a diverse group of ladies to help him on his way. Life should be easy, but strange monsters seem to follow Derrick wherever he goes. What is the secret of Neo Teal Crisis?
An idea for a new story brought about by seeing multiple posts encouraging artists to make "really weird niche self-indulgent" stuff. I'm not sure where it would go, but I do have a prologue chapter written in my head.
She awoke, her mind in a fog, trying to remember where she was and how she’d gotten here. Her head was pounding and she was nauseated. Had she been drinking? The last thing she remembered was the café, and the man, and the smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, and the chill that smile made her feel. She tried to move, and couldn’t determine if she was having difficulty because of whatever she’d had to drink, or for some other reason she wasn’t willing to accept yet. The room was small and dark, but clean. The walls were white and windowless. There was a closed door. She was laying on something fluffy and comfortable, but she needed to pee and could tell she’d been here too long by the ache in her muscles. Struggling to get up again and finding she could not, she slowly craned her head up. It was exactly as she’d feared. Her wrists were tied to the elaborate metal headboard, and her ankles secured to the footboard. She felt her heart rate increase.
The Necklace
It sparkles as I turn it in my hand, the scarlet jewel coming to life in its bright silver setting. The pendant burns from within, and I find myself unable to pull away. My face falls slack as I draw it closer, studying the glittering facets of the fist-sized stone. I know I shouldn't put it on--I'd heard all of the warnings. Unthinking, I slip the heavy chain over my head, feeling the weight of it settle against my chest. The world opens up. Everything goes black.
