There's A Place Up Ahead That I'm Goin'

Let the rythm of the night wash you away from reality. Into a place that is not the real world. Smile briefly at those who stare at you for reasons of their own, maybe they wish they were is you're shoes. Dance like there's no-one there. Struggle with having to say goodbye.

Countdown to the Editing spree.

This being the 4th of August, Editing will take place in two weeks on the 18th. Most of the words will still be here and copies will be kept of those that are deleted. This process must take place for the general protection of mankind, and for the anti-personalisation of words that could get me into trouble. All entries should be kept in some form, just modified. Not that Im skirting issues or controversy, I am just under the suspicion that if those concerned stumble across something they shouldnt, they needn't know its about them.

Flood Warnings have been issued for southern areas

The rain falls, rattling down in a cold, grey torrent. Shrouding my world in a veil that masks its beauty. I step briefly onto the surface of a river that is out of place, sinking the next second into a world of roiling fury. Confused, dazed and struggling for the surface. Unseen objects rush past me like they enjoy the ride, crashing against me in a wild attempt to beat eachother to our ultimate destination. "Give In!" The river spirit says to me and I long to obey. "Give In!" Say the sticks and other debris, urging me on with their sharp points or dull blows. "Give in!" Sings the wind as it roars past, taking the rain in an almost horizontal rush past my head. "Give In!" I whisper to myself, seduced by the wildness. I smile briefly and let go, allowing the river to take me, hearing the approving rush and rattle of the storm as I join it, hurtling in some general direction, enticing others to join our reckless run.
