The Last StarshipThe countdown began on the seventh day. The Bridge was full of Pilots and Technicians; the ship shuddered intermittently as they slowed. They could barely see the little black blotches against the stars that would blossom into fully-fledged ships, and the red pentagon of the receiving Gate growing closer and closer.The Last Starship
Dunamis leaned over the console re-checking coordinates and reading the wormhole's status. The star was now so massive that it filled the entire viewscreen; a pulsing white ball of light, surrounded by a Dyson's Sphere, which collected its energy for use in the fleet.
The ship shuddered again, and again,

Sometimes, as though trying for the part of Oliver Twist, she clasps pink hands together beneath her chin, and begs for oatmeal.
Best of all is the way she folds up into my palm, perfectly. A fluffy lump with eyes, who peers between thumb and index finger while kicking her hind feet (impatient for the hunt).
Her breed is one of pessimists, of snappers, pissers, jumpers, Houdinis, and paranoid


EchoesI'm all flailing arms inside, and outside, grim silence. In the deep dark recesses behind my teeth, the echoes of my cries ring off forever, fainter and fainter, until they reach my mouth, wherein they die (curling, like gray ashes) on the tip of my tongue.Echoes

But its so funny how familiar you look. I remember Christmases at ninety degrees and red satin bows; youre up to your ankles in crumpled pictures of Santa.
And do you recall February mornings, standing at the end of the limestone-white driveway, noses cherry red as the bus (dim and far) trundled, groaned, rattled like an

| Long ago, a strange, fat creature crept onto the interwebs. Its name was StarDragonBlue. Contrary to popular belief, it does not actually have some kind of character named StarDragonBlue. Rather, at the tender age of 11, it strung three of its favorite things in a row to make a username. This is ample reason to believe it is some kind of writing genius. Its gender and species is currently unknown. This is because it is mostly invisible. One can only detect a StarDragonBlue if it makes noises, which sound something like the grunting of a wombat. It should not be mistaken for a troll, which, although invisible, is substantially larger and makes louder and more obnoxious sounds. It has no artistic talent or good taste, but enjoys collecting artwork in a large pile deep underground. It also enjoys prowling the internets looking for drama, lurking in dark places with just its eyes showing like a sparkly vampire watching its victim sleep. The StarDragonBlue is usually harmless. If prodded, it will bite; however, as it has no teeth, it does not hurt. When irked, it makes a high-pitched squealing sound that can go on for hours. This sound has been known to drive men mad. These loud cries can only be stopped if the StarDragonBlue is fed Cheetos or chocolate, given a pet fish, allowed to punt a small, bratty child, and/or is given a visit to Starbucks. |

And the little dialogue you wrote just above is exactly what it said in so many words. EPIC.
Thank you for sharing it

It's a great scene from the otherwise not-so-great movie adaptation of 'De Ontdekking van de Hemel', or 'The Discovery of Heaven', which is by many considered to be a masterpiece of Dutch literature. It's the scene in which Heaven is actually discovered (no kidding). Also, angels are awesome as dudes in black robes. The original Men In Black.
Dunno why I'm sending this. Perhaps to motivate you for NaNoWriMo, what with it being an adaption from a literary work, but then again, it's me who needs motivating. :/
OH IT ALSO FEATURES STEPHEN FRY. Not in this scene though, regrettably.

You have no idea how it inspired me. I had the coolest dream last night wherein Death was wearing the same outfit those angels were wearing. And he was off killing people who had offended Heaven.
...and I will relate the rest in my journal, but suffice to say, I just had the BEST STORY IDEA EVAR.
