I live in mystery and silence. I am an Absconsus, an Unknown. I also like classic film and literature.

We Nay Shnobs Yay Wool...mah ye-ah!

She got a text one odd hour at night.

We Nay Shnobs Yay Wool...mah ye-ah!

She didn't know what that meant, or who texted.

She looked it up and asked her friends what it could mean.

Still yet, no answer.

Then one night, she though, "backwards."

She got a recorder, said what she was written out loud, and played it backwards.

I am always watching you.

The Color of All and Nothing

See it at the falls,

Find it on December Days,

Or look to the sky.

It is the Color of All,

And the Color of Nothing.

Describe a red rose, covered in dew, with its petals barely bloomed in the morning sun... But do not use the words: red, rose, dew, petals, bloom, morning, or sun. :)

Little Belle of the Meadow

Little Belle of the Meadow,

In her little velvet dress,

Performed for the Dayspring Show,

In hopes she may impress.

Blessed from Twilight's Tears,

She was ready for the event,

But as the Light climbed near,

She was too shy to present.

Challenge

Mere Fantasy

How we think of pretty things.

How we put our life into them.

How we watch it all fall.

How much it hurts knowing

It's merely a fantasy
