The Temple of Rock Lake
Battered. Ragged. Barely standing. Griffin of Valleyfell stared up from his stump at what he imagined was once a proud, powerful beacon of hope to his right. The dense, soupy fog his people had nicknamed 'SoulSap' seemed to dance around it, rather than consume it.

Stuck
“—will be assigned through a lottery system beginning this year. All independent travellers will need to register for this lottery, while partners and families will be asked to register within a specific ‘unit category.’ We believe this is a necessary policy in order to alleviate complications related to the drastic increase in seasonal migration throughout our nation. To ensure equitable travel opportunities, the winners of the lottery in a given year will not be able to apply for tickets again for a minimum of three years.”

The God of Sea and Story
PWWSHHHHHHHTTTTT The roiling, bubbly waves lapped against the tiny ship’s hull. It’s little motor, nothing more than a motorized fan, fighting as hard as it could manage against the churning tides. The waters of The Sea of Erin, hemmed in on all sides by a shoreline of unscalable cliffs, bounced each foamy wave back towards the ship, again and again. There was no escape. If a storm was to be part of the story, which it usually was, all one could do was hope that they had been properly fastened to the deck, by whoever was in charge of such things, and face their fate with courage.

Aktorolalia
Was there something about the warm water falling on him in the shower that brought it on? Was it the security of knowing he was alone? No... it's not like it always happened in the shower. And when he'd drive the 2-3 hours north to visit family, he was alone the entire time. But he rarely found himself compelled to do it then.
