dream, rabbit, hole

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ She fell into a deep sleep, the dream taking her mind, her imagination delving deep.. into the darkness of the rabbit hole that lay within her yard. She wondered if she would find the white rabbit? Perhaps she would, perhaps not. But she wished not to awaken until she did. ~

Artemis, a sensational redhead, slinked down the runway and twirled sensually on the pole, auburn tresses flying. Daphne dazzled as a harem girl - shimmering transparent pyjamas and glittering jewels. Most splendid of all was Chloe, wearing and subsequently shedding the concealment afforded her by the petals of a single rose.



dock, harbinger, exquisite

 

[Maid of Marvels]

Renowned in his neighborhood as the harbinger of ill tidings, Noah ignored the simple-minded fools and continued to build his ark. She certainly was yare, he thought.

Antiquarian

Jelly

 

[Maid of Marvels]

Her legs turned to jelly as she entered the petshop. Tropicals, saltwater, even koi for her garden pond!

The antiquarian clerk behind the counter leered at her appraisingly over the rims of his wire-framed glasses. “Want to see my starfish?”

“Maybe,“ she retorted with a wink. “Just for the halibut.”

New Words: tangerine, treat, maneuver

 

[ezwriter]

Tangerine, treat, maneuver

On their first date, Claire demonstrated her curious talent for peeling not just a tangerine’s rind using her mouth, but the skin of individual sections.

[chris2c4u]

Morocco was a drug to her. She scoured bazaars, searched the windows for the man she had shared her bed with. It was like a dream, in this labyrinth. Her mind, her body, wanted it to be as true as the memory of clinging to him, falling back on rosepetals.

[poohlive]

Elixir

Fathom

Griffin

He didn't see it, couldn't fathom it's depths, murky water in his vision, unable to concentrate. For a moment he felt purged in some griffin's riddle, an elixir of emotions draining the very life from him. Then he retched, hot strands of saliva whisper from his lips.

Sometimes reality is too real.

"The triangles," said the professor his head on his student's thigh. His finger traced the edges of the hair between her legs.

pulmonary

carotid

assclown

"Assclown? Assclown? What kind of word is that?" muttered the medical student. Peering closely at the book on medical terms like pulmonary, carotid artery, and auricle. "Oh! It is the result of bad typing. 'Assdown' means 'Pass down' as in "the food will pass down the esophagus"." She laughed softly.

[chris2c4u]

The oil lamp swung in the barn. He put his fiddle away; Zydeco come Irish, a good dance mix.

The potentate leaned forward, his diadem rainbowing the light.

"Demonstrate," he bellowed to the sooty faced alchemist.

Bowing his head towards his prince the servant murmured, "Jade." A small figurine replaced the dust.

[poohlive]

If you look closely, you can see the woman within the girl, trying to get out. She is an ingot, breaking from the mold, desiring freedom.

Mark understood, helping her with her jacket. A first date at Panda's Asian Delicacies. He could see things so clearly now.

He loved her.



Liberty

Handbook

Balance

 

[ezwriter]

In the handbook, it’s listed as an "advanced to extreme" position. With one foot en pointe on the floor and one slid high up on the side of the tent, she held her balance while he took his liberty with her. Ahhh, one of the few perks of circus life!
