he had been told about this by the elders.

every newt on the cusp of adulthood was sent to experience this for this one and only time.

they lived deep in a set of limestone cave, in a giant river labyrinth that tangled itself through the cave system it had created over the centuries.

but just this once, so you knew what else there was, and how good you had it here, you were sent out.

on course for disaster

no stone left unturned, no promise left intact

a desperate search for hope, a very unwise pact

the plans, of course, had been diverse

yet from step to step it just got worse

they really did try their best at every step

but sometimes even your honest and best prep

just can’t save you from a disaster

that has been planned since Eve’s first misstep

that might, of course, be because you were the one to not only switch them for the originals, but also the one who created the fakes in the first place. there was just one singular piece left, the one right behind the admission counter.

you still didn’t know how you had pulled it off, but you couldn’t wait to reveal your actions once you had that last piece in....

Malnourished

Malnutrition. Not a word I’d think I would use for myself in, like, ever.

And yet, after looking up the definition of it according to the World Health Organization, I have to agree, that I might actually be malnourished.

‘Malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses or imbalances in a person’s intake of energy and/or nutrients.’

It’s not just deficiencies, as extremes it’s not just this image o...

The Meaning of Life

“So, the meaning of life. Who really needs that anyway? I mean, isn’t it just enough to have a chance to live? Did you know that the chances that you even exist are basically zero? So, the chances alone that you are here are already so abysmal, does it really take some sort of meaning for you to make the most of the short time you have?

I mean, sure, you could probably argue that way that living ...

Over The Hill

Beyond the city, the fields and the woods,

a bit farther, just over the hill,

there’s a small little cottage, a tiny thing,

where a fella lives who’s called Bill.

Now Bill’s not just anyone, he’s practically famous,

he loves to ferment, to distill.

His hut is set up for wine, vodka, and rum,

yonder, just over the hill.

His drinks are the best, people love his brews,

even if they have to wait unt...

When you die, Religion says,

You either go the Heav’n or Hell.

Your worth gets measured, your actions judged,

to work out where you’re meant to stay.

Your soul shows all, so it gets examined

— a dark one means evil,

a light one means true —

and then judged by thy God,

you are placed in either

the Heavens above or in Hell below.

The judgement is quick,

and a little dark is fine,

Repentance is i...

First (proper) line from Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

It was a nice day.

But Ben still had to go.

He’d been nice.

He’d brought some ice

Cream but

Ben was dangerous.

He played the part well,

That of the caring husband,

of the loving son,

the gracious brother.

But oh my,

and it’s such a bother,

Ben was dangerous.

He had to go.

He was dangerous
