Today Sucked
There's a postal slip in my Azaelias Where a parcel should have been It's too late to call into work, The tracking number is a messy scrawl

R U OK 2024
I started the day by forgetting my keys (When I called in Late, they set me at ease) * I'm training someone new, why did I ever think I could?

Civilisation
Sing, O Muses, of Society's four pillars! Of bright Themis, she who is Law and Fairness. Mother of the Horae, bringing structure.

The Princess at the Servo
* A “Servo”, for those who don’t speak Australian English, is a Petrol/Service Station, usually with a small convenience store attached.

Supporting Human Artists
There’s the soft ‘ding’ of a notification on Facebook Messenger. I get a lot of those, it’s one of the hazards of trying to make a living as an artist, but the name makes me smile when I see it.

Where Are Your Voices?
Shameful silence for Civilian Hostages, yet "Intifada Revolution!" echoes from the streets Little girls assaulted... blamed for provoking their attackers

Love Over Distance
I never doubted that you loved me, Even when you were far away. I have always felt supported, In my career or at play. When I told you of my far-flung dreams

The First
The first Superheroes were called Demigods. How else to explain their powers - great strength, the ability to create technology un-conceptualised, breathing underwater, invulnerability - but by divine inheritance? But they were injured and died like any mortal, so they must be only the offspring of gods.

Groundhog. Honorable Mention in 500 Word Shockwave Challenge.
Every morning, the first thing the Victorious, the city's top Superhero team, did was check on Groundhog. Groundhog could shape-shift, but their real power was an odd form of fail-safe/time-travel. If something went badly wrong, the day would reset for them, granting a do-over. If Groundhog was undisturbed, everything was fine. If Groundhog was upset, or repeated any of the code-phrases to signal that they were on a re-set… well, that was when Shit-Got-Real, as the kids said.

A Helping Hand
Lost inside a damn shopping centre. How humiliating. What daft fool on the local council had been behind turning Macquarie Shopping Centre from a fairly simple Centre Spiral layout into the Labyrinthian monstrosity it was now, anyway?

Demeter's Chosen
Overall, Demeter thought of themselves as a good person. Daughter of a Heroine who could talk to animals, and able to control plants herself, of course she'd grown up an environmental activist long before she'd started saving the world.

Phone Manner
I'm supposed to have a hearing appointment, and I'm late. Technically, half of the company has hearing appointments, at least the half that works on calibrating the hearing aids we produce. Don't want to over-compensate if one of us is hard of hearing and didn't realise, I suppose.
