Wow, it's simply stunning how you manage to convey so much with just a twitfic. There's a grave, serene acceptance of death that is rather captivating, in a strangely mournful way. I really like it. I wish there was more I could say about it, other than "it was exceedingly good." Keep up the good work?

This was beautiful, reminiscent of Eastern poetry. It's simple but powerful. I really like this, do you write poetry as well?

19. Slumber

Rather than fight it, one is accepting the inevitable and taking it calmly, and making a point to not to think about it. Short and bittersweet.


(Well, it reminds me a little of this old Saturday Night Live quip: "When I die, I would like to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather did. Not screaming and yelling like his passengers." - Jack Handy)

Very poetic. And what is death but an unwaking slumber, eh... good use of the prompt, really gets a lot across in the short twitfic allowance.
