You pull the kill switch lever, but the handle breaks off into your palm. You hear the #thrum of the machine starting up, and your heart starts to race. You smash buttons and switches, but the thrumming intensifies. You curse under your breath. What will you do now?

There's a faint #thrum in the air until Penelope C. Penumbra #connects the cable.
PCP: There! We're all set! I've turned time back to Friday, so we're no longer late for the prompt words!
Kurt Kerf2: That's great and all, but could you go back a bit further? I have some regrets...

Jeremiah found the #thrum of the old sublight engine #soothing. Soon, as the ship approached translation point for M31, he would have to spin up the hyperdrive, which he called Old Bertha. Old Bertha predated his grandsires, and the noise made his teeth ache.

It fills my senses,
His sound, his scent, his flow,
The rhythm of life,
The #thrum of his soul.
His breath will #soothe me
With lies I’ll not know.

she knew how to #soothe
the humdrum #thrum of daily
existential toils

; thrum of nature; a background

mumble; hum of bumblebees

harmonised with chips; trills; tsips -

an orchestra of insects;

an avian chorus - the

soothing white noise of summer.

Your presence #soothes me
Unspoken words mesh with the

Grey skies and the ceaseless #thrum of freight trains in the distance. Yesterday, I wandered in the endless cacophony of my thoughts not knowing why I grieve.

At one point I believe it is for a mother I didn't know or is it for the one i did? Then again is it for a family I never had?

#vss365

I found a calm once
Within whispered wind
Under a gray sky
The summer #thrum of the village
Forgotten mine as other lives were lived
In knee-deep shallows,
Stood silent; #soothed still -
As God spoke for but a moment
And I, in memory, listened hereafter.

#thrum
A murmur of air
In the stillness if morning-
Feline approval.

Kai feels the diesel engines #thrum. The growl vibrates through the ship to his feet, bare on the warm teak. He watches the shoreline recede⁸, the Lady Luck is headed for international waters with the coast guard close behind. No extradition treaty & coconut rum. There are worse things! #vss365

She would sing, the thrum
Of her guitar strings could soothe
Raging beasts within.

Through the crowd gathered in the center of the encampment, Sabrina caught Laesh watching her. One corner of his mouth curled lazily, and there was a radiance to him that she hadn't seen before. He stood taller, pride in every aspect of his demeanor, while the joy of the Asaelus and the Numrey and the humans thrummed in the air around them. But he never took his eyes off of Sabrina. Crazy, right? His lopsided grin burst into a full smile at Sabrina's secret message. Indeed. But well worth it. They deserve to feel hope at fast. And it's all due to you, Sabrina Mayfair:

The #thrum of magic stopped Viola dead in her tracks. Like a badly tuned guitar, the vibration lingered in her chest—and then was cut off.
“Someone’s dead,” she said, and started walking in the right direction. Or the wrong one, depending on your point of view.
Wicke cursed and followed her.

saddest thrum ever
tires spinning endlessly
stuck in a snow bank

Still
Humming
Along

Thrum:
Hope
Restores,
Ultimately,
Mankind
Throughout
History
Revealing
Unlimited
Magnificence.

They sat together in a room
no window wide enough
to offer escape
no door reliable enough
to allow a return
the #thrum of their fermented ire
united and repelled them
‘til evening’s dinner
required a truce

“Th-rum, th-rum. Th-rum, th-rum, th-rum. Th-rum, th-ruuummm, th-rum, th-rum.” - H. Mancini.

“Thhh- rum, th-rum. Thh-rum, th-rum. Th-rum, th-rum, th-rum.
Thh-rum, th-rum. Th-rum, th-rum. Th-rum, th-rum, th-rum. I say.” - G. Gli*ter

Sounds of the 70s.

#thrum

Sometimes
he'd sit
on the floor

at the foot
of my bed

and thrum
upon his guitar

Sometimes
I'd sit

beside him
and

surprise him
when

I started
to sing
along

And all hope fades fast
The #thrum of possibility
Locked out
Like a #wicker chair
In the snow
Forgotten
For a season
Faded in the sun
Weakens
The bonds

The #thrum of two hearts as one.

The thrumming in his ears was a clear sign there had been a few too many coffees today.
