One story structure, that ozoneocean and I talked about many years ago on the Quackcast, was the Lone Protagonist as drifter.
In Pulp Fiction, Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) says talks about leaving the life of crime to walk the Earth. “Like Kane in Kung Fu. Help people, get in adventures ...

Born with clay feet on an earth unsteady
Minds unturned to feed the quagmire
Torn away heat on a dusk already
Bonds untamed to bleed the bonfire
Mourned and prayed bead on a faith non-heady
Cants unsung to free the lost choir
NaaN (Now, always and Never)
Color coding

Colour is amazingly powerful to humans, despite the fact we see so little of its spectrum. The impact of colour on our daily lives is tremendous but unfortunately not very well researched. What we do know from research is that it can affect one's mental, emotional and even physical ...

I was thinking about the idea of characters who have a dream of something - a wonderful life, a perfect situation, and are living for the possibility of getting there.
For me, the story that hits this hardest is Of Mice and Men, where George and Lenny, struggling during the Depression ...
Poetry Time 73: Schizoid
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, May 12, 2024
That gritty rainbow on a sky to dye
Swinging my heart to the fences I voice a stubborn cry
Til’ my feet sounds like limping scars for those arts
Lacing apart and fourth, your dreams cloud me no more
Still… Silent… I finally speak my own lie
A grittier rainbow ...
Poetry Time 72: Lifeforms
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, May 5, 2024
Come form. Leave your substance at the threshold.
We live once for twice. The fall and the far out.
Come for all. Let the frequency fear the stronghold.
We die non the wise. The loss and the lifeform.
Come fourth and forever.
Long live the uniform.
NaaN (Now, always and ...

Poetry Time 71: Deep’s Locker

Let no unheard muses call their stages.
Sink them into soundlessness down below.
Take no unsung makers to their pages.
Sink them into uselessness down below.
Grant no untouched prophets for their sages.
Sink them into soulessness down below.
Have no undrawn breathers hale their ages.
Sink them into lifelessness ...
