《Shards of Sugar (2022 - x) - [Poetry By Eclipse 3]》42.) willow trees in autumn
Advertisement
Autumn; the season of change,
where green trees dye their leaves warm shades.
Reds, ambers, browns and golds - a wide range!
All things old sliced off with silvering blades.
Youths, like autumnal leaves, have been displaced.
Some have moved out, have been blessed, graced.
Know that the willow trees do not weep or cry,
they merely bend down to seek their reflections in nearby water.
They just want to see how they have changed, 'by
the seasons it's true!
I've grown so green, and so have you!'
They yell to each-other, elated, ecstatic.
Telling themselves how they look fantastic.
Changing their colours for the cold yet to come,
that will kill most nature, and coat all in snow.
Cold for most but comforting for some.
Now the freezing winds do blow.
Oh, and the willows are misperceived as being riddled with melancholia,
while the autumnal skies are still warm, not yet white or magnolia.
So, come, don't be afraid.
Ride the wind to lands of change to evolve.
Let the past die and fade
while you morph and dissolve
all that is old.
To become new, bold.
Walk along with time
to your final form, sublime,
that rests in winter, still.
Shivering beside the mill.

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.

ELIOT NESS FOR MAYOR is a short novel of magical-realist fiction, a stand-alone book in the Shantytown Cycle. Written for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), I will be posting revisions as I complete them and should be done by early 2022, though I am making major changes so the timing may be longer. This book is cross-posted on two websites: Wattpad and Royal Road. Both are reputable, high-quality sites. Do not trust this book on other websites. They "scrape" material from reputable sites, posting the stolen material as an original to lure users in, but contain links that include malicious code.
