Music and Memories by Julie Arduini
Earlier this month I had the opportunity to see Elton John in his Goodbye Yellow Brick Road farewell tour in Syracuse. This came about suddenly and was a gift, so off I went with my sister, my nephew, and our dear friend we first met when I was in college a few decades (gasp!) ago.
I became quite reflective during the event as video screens highlighted Elton’s career. It seemed many of his songs…

A-to-Z Challenge 2023 – E is for Elton John - Resilience in Songs #atozchallenge #songs
The 2023 A-to-Z blogging challenge theme is resilience. Resilience is the ability to get back on our feet and keep going after life knocks us down and kicks sand in our faces. Resilience is how the psyche survives and copes, but resilience doesn’t necessarily wear a cape of positivity.
The 26 songs I’ve chosen show us, musically, what resilience looks (sounds?) like. I’ll offer a reflection of…

Rocketman
I remember when rock was young.
Hey kids, shake it loose togetherThe spotlight’s hitting something that’s been known to change the weather.
Don’t give us none of your aggravation, we had it with your discipline.
It’s like trying to find gold in a silver mine. It’s like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine.
I entertain by picking brains. Sell my soul, by dropping names.
And nobody told…

I'm Still Standing
An update on my life-crisis...
Remember last week when I was being incredibly dramatic about my life crisis/meltdown? Me too, and I’m still being sort of dramatic, but I am generally feeling much better about the situation. I was having a hard time with my philosophy class, overhearing people talking about jobs they’re accepting–and rejecting according to the boy walking behind me the other day, could you imagine having so…

039 -- a scenario in which the league forces Tokasu to kill one of his peers. :3c IM SORRY
oh dear what is lq gonna let kumi get into now | accepting.
“ Ah- Himidora-sama, you got the signal too-? I couldn’t seem to locate anything around here... ”
The internships were...something interesting, alright. She’d been spending hers with her cousin, as she just couldn’t be alone normally. It was mandatory by the rules the detectives had given her. However, she couldn’t just stand by and let something potentially fatal occur- any signal she got could be a cry for help. And so, she ended up separating from Mamoru.
The signal had lead her to a dead end, however. Deep in the bad area of town, one where villains would thrive- but not once did she THINK it could be some sort of trap. One targeting her specifically.
Then, one of the upperclassmen showed up- naturally, she’d assumed he’d also gotten the signal. However, a feeling of unease settled in her stomach as she saw Tokasu get closer, not saying a w o r d as he backed her into a corner.
“ ...H-Himidora-sama, a-are you oka- ”
And then, there was a searing heat on her shoulder as she was practically forced against the wall, a warmth v e r y close to her face. She didn’t even realize she’d shut her eyes when she flinched, but now it was very, very obvious considering HER MASK WAS MELTING while still on her face. It was even dripping down by her eyes, meeting her skin with an intense heat- b u r n i n g her face.
She let out a shrill scream as the melting plastic made her skin BUBBLE- ultimately blinding her. She tried to take it off as quick as she could before it could completely melt, only to be met by an even more intense heat. She could literally feel her arm catching F I R E, and her other arm she couldn’t even FEEL with how long his other hand had been on it. He might have burned through her muscles with the time.
“ H-Himidora- S-STOP IT, P L E A S E - ! ! ! ”
Her cries only seemed to get louder and more pathetic as the heat intensified- this time no longer around her face, but around her chest. In front of her heart. The fire spreading across her hero uniform was bad enough, but this was actually scaring her and exhausting too much of her energy. Still somewhat blinded, she had to force herself to turn human as to not slam onto the ground, in a coma right then and there.
“ St-Stop, p-please- it h u r t s - ”
The stress and panic of it all was actually making her nauseous- she couldn’t feel either of her arms now. She wanted to v o m i t.
That was when she felt something p r e s s against her chest, against the spot right by her heart- and that’s when everything went white. In a second, the flames burned right through her skin, right through her muscle and fat- and made direct contact with her organs. The smell of it was just a w f u l - but she didn’t get to experience it as her heart was literally b u r n e d.
The tracker in her leg let off a signal the moment the pulse had stopped as she fell limp, getting a shock similar to that of a defibrillator from the tiny device. It was the last ditch attempt to try and keep Scrawl’s target alive- and the moment it hadn’t worked, it’s creator had already sent something to retrieve the body.
Seemingly not even a minute afterwards, a loud growl could be heard above the dead body as the sunlight that could have gone through was blocked. Black, sticky drool dripped down from above as the centipede-like creature circled around the two, mainly taking a focus in the girl- acting as if it were something important. One of it’s eyes shifted to glare RIGHT at Tokasu, and with a sick crack, it- it SPOKE.
“ YoU hURt oUr SiBLiNG.yOu aRe E nEMy. ”
Hesitantly, the creature grabbed the body with it’s own mouth, seemingly resistant to all traces of the heat left on it as it slithered it’s way out of the area, not at all caring about attacking this clear m u r d e r e r. The charred taste made it gag a bit- but that was the least of its worries. It just wanted it’s sister to be better.
All it was sent to do was retrieve a target- not to engage in combat. And it would perform that duty as it’s mother commanded.
