Just a ShadowShe smiled at herself in the mirror with a twisted kind of amusement, almost laughing at her dilemma.Just a Shadow by ~MoonlightWillow6
Here she was, an assassin, staring at her red rimmed eyes and tear streaked cheeks in a public bathroom.
So many years breaking into military facilities, striking down dictators, and she broke down after just one kill. But then again, when she thought about it, she had never really been an assassin to begin with. Every last one of her kills had been celebrated by the world.
But now… now was different. She was a snake, a cold-blooded killer.
"Oh how the mighty fall," she mused as she wiped the remaining tears from her face. Once a her

Her eyebrows slanted into a glare and her lips twisted into a scowl.
"Power isn't just muscles," she hissed ominously.
Two days later, she had a spot in the crew, and he was nursing a broken heart. There was more than one kind of power.
EgocentricIt took thirteen point seven million years to build this world up.Egocentric by ~MoonlightWillow6
She was born a healthy laughing child, with not a care in the world. Everything she wanted, she got. In fact, she often received more than she asked for. Or at least, one would assume that much. She couldn't have wanted death.
What she did want was freedom, something her parents were reluctant to give. So, she stole it instead.
One thing led to another, and by the age of seventeen, she was dead, killed in a bar fight.
She could only watch as the flashing lights blurred, the panicked screams faded out, and the world crumbled around her.
It took one minute to destroy it.

"You haven't needed me as much as usual as of late."

"Actually, allow me me to amend that statement, you've been too arrogant to accept my help as of late."
"... I never needed you in the first place."
"Oh! Is that so? I was unaware of this. After all, without me, you'd still be a man with no home, no life, sitting on the side of the street. Not to mention, you're life fell to shambles after I left. Logic states that you are, in fact, useless without me."
"That's a lie."
"Is it? Or are you the liar here?"
"It is."

DevLIT's Character Conception Challenge!July was a month of a capella nights,We've already launched prompt number one:
Red heliotrope scores and blanched
Methadone eyes.
A singing of nerves hewn to a cry:
Fine-tuned and skinned
To carpal ascension,
The quivers of a quaver
Due to crescendo.
I hovered, wing-like, on the husk
Of schizocarp dreams,
But sprang forth undone
By chorus and synchrony.

DeviantLITERATURE's Character Conception Challenge!
We hope you've all been doing your best over at Camp NaNo this past month, and the Admin Team are overjoyed to announce to you an upcoming project!
With NaNo fever all over the Literature scene here on dA, the dL Admins got together and asked each other, "What is the most difficult thing about NaNoWriMo and Camp?" Then, ~MoonlightWillow6 came up with the answer - character building. So, we thought, what better than to have a month-long character-oriented challenge between the two months of Camp NaNo?
So, we are proud to present, the #DeviantLITERATURE Characte

Do you know how hard I try?
Continually I try to make it work,
I try so hard.
I write for you,
read you my silly love songs,
sing them to you when you're having doubts.
This poetry I write for you,
I pour myself inside it.
But that is never enough.
Bleeding.
Crying.
Dying.
I tried.
I'm sorry.
It was too much work.

Flaws and Development by ~MoonlightWillow6
Part One: Flaws
What drives a story?
The plot? The setting? The characters?
The correct answer, in a good story, is all of the above. A story needs a plot, setting and characters. A good story, needs more than that. It needs a riveting, curveball throwing plot. It needs a setting bursting with life. And in my opinion, most importantly, it needs interesting characters.
Characters are a double edged sword. Done right, they can change a mediocre stor

"Hm, The Big Damn Kiss, First Kiss, Concert Kiss, and True Love's Kiss all in one. Impressive."

With a smirk, she replied, "Not quite yet, but you're free to try again if you'd like."
"Gladly."
