My brother: *Listening to a song with the lyrics ‘I just can’t run away’* “Actually you can, girl. I’d run away if I were you.”

Me: “No you couldn’t.”

Brother: “Why not?”

Me: *Looks pointedly at his disabled legs* 😁

Brother: *Bursts into laughter*

From the outside looking in, it is strange to be someone who only watches disabled sports…[Read more]

Thank you. The performance went okay. I remembered all the choreography, but I didn’t perform as well as I could have, which is about as good as I could have hoped for feeling like this. I feel a little better now and I’m hoping the cold will be gone soon. The dizziness usually lingers annoyingly long.

I wish I’d thought of that when my grandma was in the hospital, but it was summer, so we were all barefoot anyway. My siblings and I were riding the elevators up and down. They were the fun kind where you could see out of the window.

Five months later I have to say, that’s a great quote

Lucy handed him the hatchet. She also rolled up her sleeves so they wouldn’t get in the way. “Are we gonna chop wood?”

@ellette-giselle

XD This is what I get for trying to post when sick… @rae the message several above was for you.

@theducktator

lol, thanks….. but I think that message was for @rae , unless you’re talking about something I wrote…. (which you very well might be with my track record…… XD)

@theducktator

Oh poor girl! I’ll be praying!

So I feel absolutely awful, it’s 4am over here, I can’t sleep in because of church, and I have a performance right after church. So if anyone sees this, prayers for the performance would be appreciated, especially as this cold has settled in my ears, which really messes up my balance.

“Because this place is dangerous, and no place for a child. You should be at home, eating cookies or something by a fire. Children should be protected above others, because they’re the future, and the most vulnerable. That’s why.”

They rounded a corner of the maze, opening up into a circular area, about thirty feet in…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint Perfect pronunciation!!

“Why not?”

@whalekeeper

Lol, yes.

Gabriel Mai

The foggy labyrinth stretched on before them. Gabriel’s hearing had returned, and now be could hear footsteps somewhere along one of the many passages. They were too far away for Gabriel to be able to distinguish man from beast. He kept his hand on the hilt of his knife, eyes scanning the walls of the maze.…[Read more]

Gabriel rn 😤😐

Lucille

The key turned into bright green dust in Lucy’s hand, falling from the lock like sand from broken glass.

Despite her choice, she glanced back at her home door. One part of her wanted to sit beside it for hours. But that didn’t matter now, since she couldn’t get in and seeing her parents might make things worse.

She…[Read more]

I liked the civil disobedience debate…

“Lucy! You should have used the key to go home!” Gabriel dug his fingertips into his hair, before sighing, composing himself, and putting his mask back on. “Let’s go.”

@ellette-giselle

It’s hard for me to answer this because it kind of was a slap, but it also feels like the right way to end it. It made sense and concluded his arc. Like Whaley said, we were never promised he would live nor did his arc hinge on it. I’d file this under “books whose endings I will complain angrily about to my siblings but still…[Read more]

Lucy came to a kneeling position and slipped the key in the lock.

The door creaked open, and mist cascaded over the tiles. The green carpet Lucy had seen through the crack was moss, and sharp gray light poured over their faces. Lucy shivered and shoved her hands in her pockets.

There it was – the labyrinth again. A wall lay ahead…[Read more]
