Without adding on to my last reblog which references ‘place’ Japan, I’d like to share with you the most ‘place’ I ever was when I lived there. If you’re driving back into shiga from Gifu and you just happen to be on mountain roads, mount ikeda will kind of just spit you out after a while into this massive bowl of nothing but rice paddies as far as the eye can see.

And after about ten minutes of driving through the west end of nothing, you reach the party house

I never stopped here, mostly because I just assumed if I went in I would come out ten realities to the left, and possibly fifty years later

Deep Water Prompt #3536

The court system in death is unparalleled, on earth or in heaven. There are no judges, only a juries of diverse peers pulled from purgatory, eligible to serve after one thousand years.

[deepwaterfiction]

Text: The world's oldest library is staffed by ancient, looming arachnids, legs and eyes perfect for managing so many volumes at once, silk perfect for binding, or scurrying up to the highest shelves.

Deep Water Prompt #3534

My older sister practices stitch magic. Each morning she takes the needle from her earlobe to sew up the top of my brothers coffee mug, which he tosses in his work bag without a thought.

[deepwaterfiction]

Text: She unties the blue ribbon from around her wrist, her hand falling straight off and skittering away. Not a trick, but a terrible curse. It is off to do some witch's dirty work.

Deep Water Prompt #3532

"I'm not a vampire," he insists, cursing as he flattens himself to the wall to stay in the shadows. "I just pissed off the sun, which I don't recommend."
