What 2 Words?

 Here we go again. The previous 2 words were pre-graduate and anadromous.

    Mendelssohn's march rang clear across the venue as the main doors were pulled open. The violins sang joyfully as she stepped into everyone's view.

    Her dress flowed across the dusk blue runner, making my love look like she was floating down the river styx. The petals the darling girls skipped about showering matched the embroidery cascading down from her bodice. 

    As she looked at me, her face beamed. Her unbridled joy seeped out of every pore, unfortunately, it was shadowed by her handmaidens' displeasure and disgust. They looked as though they were seeing her to the gallows, not the altar. 

    When I laid out my hand for my soulmate, the smallest of her friends tried to tug her back. "No-" she quietly stuttered, "-you don't have to do this."

    My love only smiled prettily at them. Her eyes focused on the poor girl and challenging.

    As she took my hand she stood tall. The pale blue of my skin is so much cooler than that of her peachy hue. Soon we would match. She turned her head away from her friend to address the congregation. "You are right. I do have to do this." turning her head back her eyes caught mine, "but I want to. I choose to. My love, I am yours." As her smile softened, she took my face between her palms and led me to her. "And you, my darling death, are all mine." her smile became possessive as she leaned in to kiss me sweetly. Her peachy skin became a dewy grey "Forever and always,"

What's your experience with Microsoft?

 As a Creative Writing Student, I have an interesting relationship with Microsoft products. Word and I have worked together since the age of Clippy. We work together so regularly that my computer weeps with joy when I open my projects. We spend hours together staring blankly at each other. Our trials and tribulations also extend to the unique differences in software versions. For instance, my computer, laptop, and the university's library all have different versions, which can cause some interesting formatting errors. I use Excel to track word count, story progression, and CYOA paths because English requires a lot of math. I know how to use Outlook even if we aren't on speaking terms, it knows what it did. It's so secure that it bricks your computer if you lose access to the e-mail. I use Publisher often to type-set projects and I get on well enough with PowerPoint to make niche presentations and Pitch Decks. I currently use Edge. OneNote seems interesting, but ...

Silly little writings - Portsmouth Paradox

  A group of Portsmouth students kept hearing the Navy boys talking about experiments happening down at the docs. It sounded like something straight out of a Grimm tale, of monsters and petaled heads, that something similar had happened over in the States. After a few weeks of some lovely productive procrastination, four students decided to investigate, because do those papers need doing right now? So our four scatterbrained adventurers carefully piled into their bright blue car and headed down to the docks. Whilst the Engineer hummed the Scooby Doo theme song, the Architect noticed that a new building could be seen near the base which seemed so out of place. Lodged between the old crumbling infrastructure of Portsmouth, a large, Americanised building stood out.  At the top of the building where there should be all sorts of radio antennae, there stood a silhouette of a mechanised dome with a warm glow emanating from it. As they pulled up opposite, situating the car i...
