Mud between the toes
This room is full of betrayal
Quick clean in the sink

How could this happen to me? I made my mistakes, Got nowhere to run. –from Untitled by Simple Plan
I’m throwing in all three parts of this month’s Eclectic Corner #11: Momentarily at the same time due to being so incredibly late in getting it up at all…

Can’t quite manage to reach every point Or block a wandering dog; Very often, though, it does what is needed Especially when the wind starts blowing and Rain, snow and hale beat down.
Here is the bigger picture that the little cropped part came from in my post Eclectic Corner #4 – Protection What? for my answer to Justine’s Eclectic Corner: Protection.

I hope that y’all enjoyed the guessing game!
Here’s another attempt at Justine’s Eclectic Corner: Protection. Please forgive my poor camera phone’s lack of ‘skills’ when it comes to the finer details. Have fun guessing what this is cropped from! And don’t worry, Justine, I will include a poem with the reveal post once the challenge is over.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. –Aristotle
(This image is one that my sister drew based off a picture of two of our other sisters.)
This post is inspired by two prompts: Eclectic Corner #3 – Resolutions and the revisit of Dungeon Prompt: Mortality and the Human Psyche. Make sure to check out the prompts as well as Sreejit’s revisit of his Dungeon Prompt, Defined by the Darkness, it’s really good for making you think!
She could feel It sometimes at the back of her mind, clawing and trying to get a better grip on her. Star didn’t bother paying it too much attention because that was what It wanted. The more attention she gave it, the more it could do with her and she wasn’t going to allow It anything more than what she needed from It.
“I don’t need anything from you.” she whispers sometimes when there’s no one else around.
“Then why am I here?” It rasps back from the darkest corners of her soul.
Star doesn’t answer back. She knows that this is how her brother fell. He answered It and kept answering It whenever it spoke.
That was the problem with It, if you gave it too much attention then It started getting stronger, but you couldn’t ignore It completely either.
There was no happy medium because every single day was give and take and you never knew just how much It was going to give or take.
That didn’t mean she was going to give up and give in to It.
She wasn’t going to lose any more than she already had to It It had taken and taken and taken, what It gave back was never something she wanted to keep, but parts of It had wormed into her soul just the same.
Likely because she was Chaos-souled and little bits of It blended right in.
Star didn’t close her eyes as she stepped out of the darkness and into the light no matter how much the brightness burned at her eyes.

Inspired by the redo for Sreejit’s Dungeon Prompt: Good, Evil and the Rules that You Live By. Check out his own response It Takes Two.

Well it finally snowed and then stuck for the first time this winter! It was wonderful to see the way the snow continued to fall all day long yesterday. The world seemed consumed by the gently falling crystals.

This little poem was inspired by this weekend’s Stream of Consciousness prompt.

You won’t grow if you don’t learn what you should know.
Inspired by two things, the Light and Shade Challenge and my sister’s youngest boy. He’s more than a bit indecisive.
There are just some days where I am very sporadic in what I do. Today is one of those days and I can’t think of much of anything other than how cold it is. I really need to find my fingerless gloves, they would really help out.
So enjoy this funny family motivational that I made.
