Some resignations
are #tantamount to saying
"So, yes, it was me."

"Don't make me laugh," Tie scoffed. "You know my actions have been #tantamount to treason. All I can expect from the nobility is a speedy trial & swift execution."
"If we had wanted to kill you, special forces would have come — not me," Revin said. "And wouldn't have knocked at the door."

He needed more lean proteins, so he added walnuts. It wasn't quite #tantamount to eating healthier, but had to count for something. The cookies had to be good for his soul regardless. #vss365

"I know you did it."

"I didn't eatvthe last chocolate!"

"That's #tantamount to a confession. I never said we'd run out of chocolate."

"It's just #uncanny. Who #taught him to #hang like that? Such tight pants, it's #tantamount to a full blown scandal! I swear, it winked at me!"

"Oi, Vlad!" #GrumpySwearyFairy called. "come meet my cousin, she's got some &*$%ing questions for you."

A tree stands against a starry night sky with a compass superimposed on the stars. A campfire burns near the base of the tree. This is the cover image for Wanderer by Nancy E Dunne.

Though #tantamount to treason, Nel still met the wood elf often and #taught Elys everything that she'd learned as a paladin.

The elven cities of Alynatalos and Aynamaede must work together for the Great Forest, even if it meant she would #hang if caught.

It was #tantamount to a dare, really. I mean, a big pit, just sitting there in the ground, with no safety tape or fencing or anything. Sure, there were the police barricades, but those were a ways back. And news helicopters never stopped anyone from doing anything. #vss365 #AmWriting #MicroFiction

to be sudden, to be #tantamount to nobody
would be the goal of these words
she says
to be neither here nor there, so think fast!

your silence
the cold shoulder
the replies left unread

#tantamount
to your indifference to me

“I want us to go back to how we were,” said Tom.
“We can’t go back,” said Mia.
Tom caught a frustrated sigh in her voice.
“Your dinner is #tantamount to an apology. We can only go forward.”
Tom looked at her. His Mia. Upright stance, open arms & intelligence in her eyes. #vss365

From the #vss365 jukebox, this is Bug Like an Angel by Mitski from her exceptional 2023 album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We. Not liking Mitski is #tantamount to musical treason.

Palm trees blowing in a storm

Rebuilding your life while still in the midst of depression is tantamount to sorting through the wreckage of a hurricane while the storm rages.

The good thing is, the storm eventually ends and the sorting transitions into a more focused rebuilding phase.

“Naiad’s Dare”

On full moon summer nights standing at my river’s edge is #tantamount to lying on a sun-bit beach on the Costa. Don’t believe me? Try it. Stand, arms wide, feet perched on the mossed rocks, eyes closed, face up to ol’ Mene—and listen, just listen, to the sound of my waves. #vss365

#tantamount sounds lewd coming from the sensuous lips of one of the fae. Even with just a drop of heritage in her blood, Morgan le Fay has that kinky accent they all share. Beauty, dominatrix vibes, and flirty eyes get her nowhere. The only cold and hard I like is cash. #vss365

#tantamount to torture
wandering brown
corridors, looking

for exits, excited
by the chinks of light
mirages, cul-de-sacs

one way tickets to gloom

suddenly, laughter
explosive, it changes things
or seems to

the wanderer wonders
for a moment about
life beyond the walls
