A comfy chair by a Bookcase full of books

All I want to do is sit in my Chair and Escape into Another book

It was all an ill-fated #game. The best minds in science and technology advancing with the velocity of their budgets (though at what profit!). In the end, as they should have known, no one wins in the #arms race.

Before the #game started, Diana changed the channel. It took less than thirty seconds for Murphy to understand that the Cal-Air Contagion was now national news.

If I couldn’t lose, I’d win by beating the absolute socks—and shirt, jeans, and underwear—off of him. The alternate idea took root, unleashing the competitive spirit I usually kept locked away.

I'd have him down to nothing but skin in three GAMEs. Maybe four.

Surrounded by cherry #trees in #blossom, even more beautiful at night when lit by the soft glow of burning lamps. It is hard to find a more #exalted sign of spring, breaking free from winter's icy grasp.

The house Cabral parked in front of was much like the rest, with a driveway that curved around a large oak #tree. She imagined it would be wonderful to live in a place like this but didn’t want to meet anyone who did, anyone who could afford to and would despise her..." #BookishTues #Novellas

"Is there some sort of printer conspiracy? They never work."
"'Never' is a bit hyperbolic."
"Don't. I seethe with the wrath of a #frustrated printer user."
"Could be worse. Could have a #splinter in your #eye."
"I'll make you the next jam in this thing!"

His expression was serious, but not stern, his #eyes friendly behind square wire-rim glasses. A distinguished look—not a spy, maybe a professor or an author of very scholarly books. #BookishTues #Novellas

This week's #BookishTues theme is: #EYES

Not sure if this is even going to show under the hashtag - bsky.app/profile/nico... but still posting. (I was going to ask my bff to guest host the next 2w [re: today's earlier post] but here I am bc he's at work and can't)

So .. is it just my account?
Tues, I went to check the #BookishTues posts. Nothing shows for the last 6mo. I try again on Wed - same (and almost all of mine are gone). I FINALLY got my laptop to cooperate and check from there. "NEWEST" post - 6mo ago. WTF #BlueSky?!?!

They asked him to #partake in the banquet. He'd think he was dreaming but for the #lobes of his ears burning. No one had ever invited him to anything, before. Fine food. Strong drinks. Laughter, maybe? He could return to #designing the fall of civilization later!

#vss365 #vssdaily #BookishTues

Roberta stapled her business card, identifying her as “#design consultant,” to the form. Emma did not feel as if a consultation had taken place at all. It was more like beating her head against a stone wall. #BookishTues #ShortStories

This week it is all about #DESIGN

The smell of green & earth
Sensations of the forest

She could take him something: the piping hot chicken #soup Bobby liked when he was sick, freshly baked muffins or cornbread, or a chocolate cake. She could casually ask him if massage would help his pain, elicit the name of the masseuse, and pass it on to Detective Cabral. #BookishTues #Novellas

They ate a #soup of rainwater and crackers, warmed to tepid by a scorching sun as the ocean played a #harmony lapping against the side of the #lifeboat. Only two survivors, yet they found a shipwreck love story.

She returned to the campfire, where the companions had assembled and Rebba handed her a mug of hot soup. “It helps to keep your hands busy while your mind is spinning.”

This week's #BookishTues theme is #SOUP one of my favourite foods.

I damned myself long ago and now, so close to the end I can taste the fire & brimstone with every laboured breath, I still believe it was the only course of action.
The blood on my hands is nothing against what would have been if the creature broke loose.
#BookishTues

Their sense of security crumbled in an instant, like being protected by some perpetual sentinel who steadfastedly yanks the cannon's #lanyard to #fire upon an enemy he cannot see, as #cataracts have settled in during his years of loyalty.

“Okay,” he said. “If you want to play with #fire, I can’t stop you. But if you make yourself cheap, don’t be surprised when people treat you cheaply.” #BookishTues #Novellas
