Hey! It looks like you're new here. You might want to check out the introduction.

Empty Faces
These are some old facades in Cedar Key, FL. They likely have some historical or economical reason for not being demolished or restored, but their gloomy mood caught my eye and seemed to fit the story's mood of abandonment.

Paved with Intentions
Thanks for reviewing the art, Pascoite!
This is an old stairway on a hillside in Newton NJ, in a wooded pathway by a graveyard. The stairs and associated path were overtaken by time and it is no longer clear where they were supposed to go. I used to go and sit on them while taking a walk to stimulate my creativity.

The Last Free Breath
Atmosphere was my main aim, as well as a literal door from which nothing emerged. It does stand in need of some tightening up, much as the protagonist's house... Thanks for the kind words and critique!

Fake review! Haven't had occasion for one of these in a long time...

This seems like a tonal piece, standard 'zombies eating my house' with a touch of Spooky Door. One little bite of horror. 1.83 Narnia points.
Creepy otherworld exploration, but I am also somewhat bewildered by the end. Is the calamity that affected the parallel world about to strike here too? What have the Others to do with the Sun? Mysteries that are perhaps solvable, could one shift tab over to another draft. 4.7 And He Built A Crooked House points.
On the road but will add some reviews...
This seems to be a very compact joke, too dry to be a shaggy dog story. In a short round like this one such things have a place, the minifics have no room for extra meat on their bones, but this one has no wider meaning beyond its punchline, so the whole story stands on how well that was received. I can acknowledge the clever setup but in the end I didn't laugh, so there's where we stand. 6.8 non-Euclidian points.

Hypergolic
Thanks for the kind words! I had set down my thoughts informally in this manner and resolved to turn it into something more rigorous later, but got distracted and so it must stand as is.

As this is a drawing-first round, I was rooting for one of the visual prompts to win. I was rather dismayed to see that 'truth serum' had been selected as a prompt; how am I supposed to draw that?
I decided to draw what I damned well felt like but stuck in two hypos anyway, lest someone accuse me of less than stellar prompt adherence.
I wasn't consciously modeling the robot after anything in particular; I did use an image search to get photographic inspiration for the puppies.

This is another one where the 'Wait until 3 AM' strategy didn't quite produce something worth the candle. Thanks for the kind comment!

I apologize for any confusion, this story event was scheduled on my birthday and I felt that I could indulge myself with something autobiographical.
In the past year, I resurrected an old artistic project of mine which had been abandoned for various reasons a decade ago. I've taken the liberty of posting some of the art from this work on various art rounds. The way in which I construct this work is analogous to arranging puppets on a stage, which explains the references to the smaller figures.
The process of looking into the past at prior stages of life and the gathering up of what a prior self had left unfinished is what I wished to convey. Also, in this quiescent period of the Writeoff's history, I feel less reticent about referencing my other creative work.
Thank you for your patience and the very kind comments!

Thank you for the excellent comments!
This was one of those last minute poems where I suddenly realized it was 3 AM and hadn't written everything. I managed to tumble into a groove, and this is what came of it. (I've used the 'disgusting potion' theme before with decent results.)
I feel it ends abruptly and I should have put in a few more stanzas, but at this point it's likely to be what it's going to be. Thanks again!

No problem, you're fine. Nothing wrong with submitting a prompt that would point in your heart's direction.
