Conch
For Penny Fuller's "Part C: The A-Z of Unusual Words" Challenge
Introduction
This is a bit rushed because I only caught this the day before the deadline. You can check out Penny Fuller's Challenge here:
Conch
A Conch is a sea snail and Conch shells typically have a high spire and were used as helmets in the Books Of Corum which are still a favourite fantasy read of mine and you can read more.
For my poem, I will do it as an acrostic, which won't hit the hundred words but it will fit in the spirit of the challenge. The music is an AI-Generated metal song of the poem.

Floating
Floating in a warm pool, looking like Ophelia but full of warmth and life. Feel the soothing water and the sun on your face and body. A gentle breeze blows, and the music of birdsong and bees surrounds you, blowing through rushes at the water's edge. You move your hands and feet enjoying the feel of the water, it is almost as good as the warmth of your duvet when you wake and don't want to leave your bed. This is a feeling you want to last for a long time, so soothing, and spreading happiness through your whole body. There is no pressure here, just warmth, love and comfort You are one with Gaia and nature and your soul is replenished by this feeling Let the feeling wash over you, and heal your soul

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Instructions for Replacement
These instructions are intended for ordinary use. They are not a guide to reinvention, only adjustment. Follow them carefully and in order. Skipping steps may result in confusion, emotional exposure, or relapse. If done correctly, the transition will appear seamless to others. You will continue to function. You will continue to be addressed by the same name. Only the internal mechanisms will change.
