Mirage
For Teresa Renton's "Safe Place" Twitter flash Challenge
Introduction
This is for Teresa Renton's "Safe Place" Twitter flash Challenge which you can read about here;
The challenge is:
Write a 249 character short Twitter/X length flash. Title doesn’t count.
Prompt: OASIS vs BLUR.
This is mine
The music is "Mirage" by Santana from the album "Borboletta"
Mirage
Walking across burning desert sands, water needed, throat feeling like sandpaper, feel like there’s not long left, eyes blurring. Then an Oasis! Could this be salvation? Falling gratefully into the cool water, but it’s just hot sand. Another Mirage

A Basic Guide to Life in the Void Space
------------------------------------------- 1 ------------------------------------------------ Hello! If you are reading this, then you might be somewhere in the first level of the Void Space. This writing is a guide from the VSSG or the Void Space Survival Group for short. If you are someone new to the Void Space, then you probably have a lot of questions that you need to have answered since you ended up in this strange place from whenever you originally came from. If you are not someone new to this place, then you might want to look back at this guide for a little bit of a refresher if you feel like you need one. After all, there are people who spend a lot of time in this place, but ultimately perish or succumb to something simply because they forgot the basics. Anyway, enough with the introduction, here is some basic information on the Void Space and how you can - hopefully - survive long enough to reach us or any of the less hostile groups that have formed down here.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
