The frozen body looked mummified, its moisture #sublimated away long ago. And yet it spoke. Its #hollowvoice rang through Bill’s skull, making his teeth hurt.
Worship me, it said, and all shall be yours.
Bill fell, and the snow swallowed him.

His stone-cold heart #sublimated, dissolving into nothing before it could be touched. In its absence, only emptiness remained, colder than the stone had ever been. #vss365
No way I'm coming up with better on a Monday morning, so
"Point of departure #sublimated in a song
Always comin' and givin' us hope for a second, then it's gone, but
Sound system gonna bring me back up, right
One thing that I can depend on"

Ex-Superintendent Carol’s former colleague had #sublimated his rage into a long police career.
Now that he’s retired, Carol wonders how he spends his nights.
The garden looks freshly dug.
He spots her eyeing it.
“Plenty of room for more to be planted,” he chuckles. #vss365

The first few years
I would catch myself
Marveling
At my luck
In finding you
At the indescribable
Bond we shared
Believing
I'd wake up
One day
And find
It #sublimated
Poof
The reformed
Detritus nothing more
Than glitter and fluff
But ten years on
There's no fluff
Just burnt
Marshmallows

Watching them attack the family in the car, I finally got it. Who was right, who was wrong, who was lying, and who was just trying to live.
The cold hard stone that had been my empathy #sublimated into a burning sun of compassion.
I was no longer frozen. I acted.
#vss365 Oh how they danced. Skirtless. Cavorting and prancing, widdershins whirling. As flames flickered in the darkened copse, uplighting their naked nymphatic desire and rendering it ghastly. And I gazed in wonderment as they #sublimated and disappeared from view....
Plucked from the ether, the idea seemed airy-fairy at best. It lacked tangibility & the potential benefits were difficult to express. She devoted her time & persuaded the community that the resources needed should be dedicated to the task. The concept had become concrete, it had #sublimated.
