Author’s Note: This AU came from an idea I had a few nights ago, and I ended up making the story far more complicated than I intended.
Anyways, that's all. Can't be purposefully vague if you talk a ton.
Story Summary: Three heroes people arrive in Paris, and soon realize things aren't right.

It had come out of nowhere. Just appeared and caused the end of everything. She took the things she could and ran.
She couldn’t bring herself to look back at the destruction, it was too much.
How can you recover from something like that?

What if the towers we live under aren't just buildings, but sentient tyrants? This week’s dVerse challenge takes us to a "Parallel Now" where the oligarchy is the landscape and the only weapon left is the 44-word truth.
Well, I can look at the photos of Patroclus, but it is not the same. I wonder if they have more on him in my article. I figure it is just fleshing out the people in my life before we get back to me.
Consequence of myth
Never argue with trees;the wisdom of their rootswears the pissed-out eighteen year old whiskeylike a busker’s cloak,so wet it cannot burn.Dark char.Best I could do is Blue Lagoon.Best I could do

It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub. Today our host is Mish and she’s given us the word prompt of “smudge.” 44 words.
After you,
I never felt clean. No matter
how many showers or how hard
I scrubbed there always
seemed to be a smudge of filth,
a foul blemish
permeating my heart
my soul—
my very being—

It (was) Quadrille Monday again over at the dVerse Poets Pub. Today Lillian has chosen the word “wound” as our writing prompt.

It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub. Today our writing prompt is the word, embrace. 44 words.

Decorated in Fancy Red diamonds
as rare and dazzling as you are?
Or perhaps it’s more like
a draping of Mulberry silk.
Either way,
I can
only wonder.

It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poetry Pub. Jade/Li is our host today and she has given us the writing prompt, Way.
Admittedly, she was a radiant bride.
No groom ever looked hotter in a tux —
It seemed normal.
What told the tale
The way you looked after
The I-dos.:
Desperation and regret
contorted your face
as you scanned the crowd
for the one that got away.
