Yellowjackets - a short story.

I root for them because I think they're awesome. This took a lot of time and effort (I draw everything by hand), so if you hate wasps, that's fine, but just move on. I don't have the energy to deal with irrational hate.

I'm aware that some people are allergic and afraid, and that's totally valid. You don't have to love wasps, but try to understand their place in nature.

Senatorial favorite Ida Berkowitz is headed for a win. Raised by a hardworking widowed mother, she’s authentic, relatable, and down-to-earth. Voters love her. Polls promise victory. Then her campaign manager utters four awful words: Who is Marissa Schuyler? She had almost managed to forget. Ida’s bunkmate at Camp Golden Hills when they were girls, Marissa was confident, sophisticated, and…

Hello everyone!!! Since I haven't introduced myself here since starting my buisness I thought I would say hello! 💖 My name is Allyson the owner and creator of Alchinme. I'm 23 and currently live in Savannah, GA (Though hoping to move to the Northwest next year!) My dream of starting Alchinme started 6 years ago when I was Diagnosed with a rare neurological disease called Intracranial hypertension. A disease that has completely flipped my life. Helping me become aware of my body, pain, and working on my own healing. As it can be extremely debilitating sometimes. Along with that I also have fibro and chronic back pain from scolosis and nerv problems from a messed up spinal tap i recieved years ago. I wanted so bad to create something that would bring me joy and success that would also be safe for me to do. But life went on I traveled moved to TX and ended up back in GA once again to change life paths. I am also a Reiki master and was blessed to have been around Reiki since I was 13. It has played a huge role in my life and continuous healing journey. After struggling trying to find my path I ended up at (shoutout) @theflowoflight which turned my path around once again for the better. Meeting wonderful people who believed in me 💖 also meeting my boyfriend now of a year @_vayang who without him I wouldn't have been able to create Alchinme. My biggest supporter. 💖 and my mom @amybeasley1969 for always believing in me and helping me through everything.. I finally had the courage to just throw myself out there online even more which can be scary. But as of now my buisness has only been open for a month and a half almost 2 and I can't believe the success, love, and support from people all around the world I have received. With almost 150 orders made I can't be grateful enough for the support. I am so excited to keep creating and keep moving forward in my journey while appreciating the now. I love you all so much. 💖 #thankful #alchinme #ashortstory #candle #witch #witchy #witchesofinstagram #spells #love #beauty #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssupport #shoplocal #candleaddict #candleloversofinstagram #candlemagic #candles #bath #reiki #reikimaster #yoga #yogi https://www.instagram.com/p/CE62745Hx_e/?igshid=1er5up0rxsqz5

A Wild Queensdale Ghost Story

After completing the hero point in the swamp, I moved up onto the Temple of the Ages platform and spoke to a Tortured Spirit there, thus summoning a Shade - The Veteran Marsh Drake guarding the hero point wiggled up onto the platform after me.

To my surprise, they both attacked the Tortured Spirit who did not fight back.

After it died, the Tortured Spirit immediately respawned as a Wrathful Spirit.

It slaughtered the Shade, and the Shade also instantly respawned as a Wrathful Spirit.

The Shade Spirit ended up dying and did not respawn - the other one turned and started carving up the Drake.

The Drake won, the ghosts stopped respawning, and I found I had somehow completely lost aggro.

Fix me

So I wrote this story a while ago.

I used this prompt/quote "'Fix it' 'Fix What?' 'Me'" I forgot where I found it so if anyone knows please write a comment I would like to give credit to the artist.

I tried to keep the whole short as gender neutral as possible

This is just a regular day, in a regular week, in a regular month, in a regular year. But what does regular mean. People always see things differently. For one, living a life with friends and family is regular. For the other it's just a normal work day, coming home too feed their children, to make their childrens life better that theirs. But the darkest path regularity can go is, when regular means to fight death everyday, trying to survive. Even if there's no-one waiting for you. No one who wants to talk to you, to hold you. This is the story of yet another cursed person. A person cursed with knowledge, but one that doesn't know anything. Still struggling with life. But always willing to help people. Always being taken advantage of. Always alone, in this big world. Their regular was always messed up. This person had a loving family, but any childhood innocence was ripped out of their life pretty fast. All the love and warmth. They had a hard time getting to know people, always being labeled 'weird'. This person had to make a difficult decision very early in their life. To protect themself they had to abandon everything, everything they believed in. Everything they loved. But this person never had to take care and help others. So one day they, met another human. A scared, hurt, destroyed human. This human had lost far too much. The person looked at them and wanted to help. But the other didn't want any help. The person always looked after them, wanted to protect them. But they couldn't. One day the other turned up on their doorsteps crying, falling to the floor.

The person asked: "What is it"

The other answered: "Fix it"

The person was confused: "Fix what?"

"Me."

The person tried to help them as best as they could. Building up this destroyed human. Starting to love them. Starting to see how a stronger human was standing in front them. They were happy. 

One day the person looked at the formerly destroyed one. There was one thing that they have wanted to tell them all this time. They looked down at the floor: "Thank you"

The other one was shocked. How could this person that was building them up. That has helped them to be a new healthy person. How could this person be thanking them. 

But never have they considered that they shared one healing process. Both fixing each other. Only one did it actively and the other one passively. Lighting the way to a brighter future.

Regular just didn't matter anymore.

And thus it doesn't matter if your cursed or not. 

It doesn't matter if your weird or broken.

Everyday you have chances.

Chances that can change everything.

The future is always in your hand.

~Howler

Hope you enjoyed!

Like I said I was inspired by the prompt/quote, but also by the idea of falling in love within a shared healing process (and not falling in love with the idealistic picture of someone else)

Good morning good people xo ❤ Esp. 4 Games of Run: Small But Will Kick @$$ like Tyrion My goal: 1 hour of running or 6 miles. I met my miles right under the hour. I received a lot of support today while running, their kind words fueled my #motivation. I also noticed that everyone I spoke to spoke back, which rare on my #runs I saw so many dogs today, if you know me, it means panic. Today I pet two, I didn't panic upon running pass them not even the big ones. #growth #energyshifting #brokeupwithmyfears #mindset #diaryofarunninglady #gamesofrun #smilesandmiles #milesforbreakfast #running #instarunner # #instarunfamily #training #sundayrunday #morningrun #runningmomma #fortheloveofrunning #ashortstory (at Battery Park, Historic New Castle, de)

Looking at pictures of me pregnant kind of makes my stomach turn. That’s just not me, I’m not eternally pregnant so I see this and it just makes me uncomfortable. ⠀⠀ But the reason I’m posting this is because I wrote out the story of when we found out I was pregnant with Alice. ⠀⠀ If you’ve had any form of contact with us in the last year and a half we’ve probably already told you this story. And for the other 3 people on the planet that we haven’t told well here it is. Or there it is, on my blog. ⠀⠀ It’s not an especially interesting story but I think it’s funny. I smell Tyler’s breath, take the test out of spite, good times. #adrilarswrites #adrilarsblog #pregnancy #imnotpregnant #alicejeanbean #blogging #writerswhoblog #authorsofinstagram #ashortstory #pregnancystory (at Spokane, Washington)

🛏🛏A 🚙4x4 parked on the🏝beach in a tiny village near Goa. A tourist named Akash complimented the Goan fisherman on the quality of his fish🎏and asked how long it took him to catch them. “Not very long,” answered the Goan fisherman Korma. “But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked Akash. Korma than explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. “But what do you do with the rest of your time?” “I sleep late🛏, fish a little🍤, play with my children👨‍👧‍👦, and make love to my wife💑. In the evenings I go into the village to see my friends👷‍♂👩‍🏭👨‍⚕👨‍🌾, have a few drinks, play the guitar🎸, and sing a few songs🎼. I have a full life.” Akash interrupted, “I have an M.B.A. from Stanford and I can help you. You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money, the 🛳larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet 🚢⛴🛳of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Panjim or even Mumbai City! From there you can direct your huge enterprise.” “How long would that take?” asked Korma. “Fifteen, perhaps Twenty years.” “And after that?” “Afterwards? That’s when it gets really interesting. When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!” “Millions? Really? And after that?” “After that, you’ll be able to retire, move back to your village you love, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, make love to your wife, and spend your evenings drinking and playing the guitar with your friends!” And than Korma Said “I am already doing this now and I don’t want to waste 20 years to reach where I am again” . #quotetofollow #kutkutkut #a #shortstory #travel #reading #book #hobby #acandle #ashortstory #moralstories #happiness #contentment #defined #inspirationstory (at Goa, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpxcqdLhK-1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aydiheajm9qt

Coffee Shop Luck

Sitting at a coffee shop

He walks up and says hello

I’m shy

But I offer him a warm smile and I say hello back

He says his name and I say nice to meet you

I don’t offer mine, because I don’t know if I’m ready to let a stranger into the crazy world I’ve been living in

He asks if he can sit , and I nod

I would love to get to know you he says,

I look down and then back up , I bite my lip, out of habit, and then I say..

That could take a very long time.

I have more than enough time, he says

I chuckle ..and I say hi I’m bri, and then we both smile at each other and take a sip of the coffee we both know we didn’t come here for..
