Into your eyes my fate remains.
Locked into that shifting ice.
Beautiful time trapped in glass.
Catching the light in amber eyes.
Hunted while you wait.
A bird in your paw.
Blood on your tongue.
The bones already in your stomach.
As the snow covers your tracks, the love leaked out, marking where we once were. Leaving the trail for others to know our fate, and to never come this way where the wolves are at play.
Enchanting tribute to one of nature’s noble predators ๐

Do you like Anime? There’s some great steampunk shows out there, and i think they mix nature and sci/fi quite well.

I haven’t seen any famous anime series, but I enjoyed the anime-inspired Netflix Castlevania series, and recently Arcane mixes steampunk and sci-fi/magic well too ๐

Arcane is great, is a good source of inspiration writing wise too!

Definitely – really engrossing depiction of conflict between the haves and have-nots. Hopefully my flashfics don’t edge too far into well-worn cliches of snooty aristocrats and plucky gutter rats. ๐
