Not sure who wrote this, but it's in my 2016 quotes collection (I compile quotes as a word doc, annually, and it seems a beautiful essay on post-traumatic growth, about which my friend and Not Too Late contributor Roshi Joan Halifax has so much to say.) The essay: Last year, the poet Jane Hirschfield shared with me that her life broke open when she first read a haiku by Izumi Shikibu. Izumi was a tenth century Japanese poet of the Heian period. This beautiful haiku is about risk, suffering, permeability, tenderness, and courage, the inner integuments of altruism. Izumi’s haiku: Although the wind blows terribly here the moonlight also leaks between the roof planks of this ruined house. Jane later wrote, “Wall up your well, and you will stay dry, but also stay moonless.” I believe that we have to let life into our lives, let others into our lives, let the world into our lives, let love into our lives, and also let the night into our lives, and not let the roof over our head, our knowing, our fear, keep out the moonlight. Altruism is exactly this permeability, this wall-less wilderness of the world, this broken roof that lets the moonlight flood our ruined house, our suffering world.”

Prompt 347
Dan huffs, glaring at the counter as though it would suddenly become more of his height. Who knows, maybe he’d manage it if not for the fact Mom- curse his baby body for getting attached- was right there watching him. 
“Do you want help?” Danny didn’t sound amused at his struggles at least, so small mercies as he begrudgingly held up his hands to get picked up. And ignore the cooing of the worker as he even more begrudgingly handed over his pokeball to be healed. They better not lose them… 
Though he supposed being carried like this made it easier to ignore the other people in the center, curling into mom’s coat. He ignored the chuckle his perking up got, grabbing his pokeball back and holding it close to his chest again. No murder today then. Even if one of the people look familiar and has been staring at them for way too long and it’s suspicious… 
(The displaced hero-vigilante on the other hand, swears the child looks familiar. Like, world-ending threat familiar. And they don’t want to jump to conclusions but…)
Just some pokemon ideas, ignore it if you wanna or have your own ideas lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stay for the summer...if you dare.
My new book "Summer in Horseheads" is available now! 🐴🦴
A creeptastic summery story that follows Negasi Zane as he moves to America with his mother and her new husband to a small town named Horseheads, New York. There, Negasi discovers that all residents flee the town when the neighborhood 'freaks' return from their peculiar boarding schools abroad. With an entire summer in a strange, foreign place ahead of him, Negasi has little choice but to befriend the same murder of teens whose mere presence is enough to scare away an entire town...

Bodie, California
Bodi is a ghost town in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, California, United States. It is about 75 miles (121 km) southeast of Lake Tahoe, and 12 mi (19 km) east-southeast of Bridgeport, at an elevation of 8,379 feet (2554 m). Bodie became a boom town in 1876 (147 years ago) after the discovery of a profitable vein of gold; by 1879 it had established 2,000 structures with a population of roughly 8,000 people. The town went into decline in the subsequent decades and came to be described as a ghost town by 1915 (108 years ago). The U.S. Department of the Interior recognizes the designated Bodie Historic District as a National Historic Landmark. Also registered as a California Historical Landmark, the ghost town officially was established as Bodie State Historic Park in 1962. It receives about 200,000 visitors yearly. Bodie State Historic Park is partly supported by the Bodie Foundation.

hi! screaming! hello! i'm so so sorry if you were looking for actual ghost stories because it's. the title of a fanfic i'm writing currently (is linked here). and they're my darlings so i'm going to talk so much about it anyway but sorry if that's not what you were looking for :| i do love ghost stories so i did put one in the tags :D
all of them are 24/25ish in this au which. i am not quite. fig did not go to college. gorgug's going to a community college. kristen was intensely homeschooled. adaine got to applying to college and then killed her dad (which put a damper on things). riz and fabian went to the same college.

Fig (Mockingbird): Shapeshifting, audio manipulation, accelerated healing, fire immunity (due to heritage). Red rhinestone masquerade mask; fiery feather overcoat/grey tights/combat boots.
Adaine (The Oracle): Divinatory visions, heightened strength/speed, flight, elemental manipulation. also, she has a sword. Blue cloth mask+veil; white leotard/tights + blue floating cloths/scarves(?).
Riz (Shadowshot): shadow teleportation (not manipulation!), accelerated healing, heightened strength/speed. Black cloth mask; black cape over a brown leotard+tights.
Kristen (Sunlit): light manipulation, heightened strength/speed, accelerated healing, flight, healing. Gold mask with sun+moon spokes; basically a recolored squirrel girl.

Title
Bodie Ghost Town
Deryk Baumgärtner
Germany
Bodie is a genuine California gold-mining ghost town.
In 1875, a mine cave-in revealed a rich vein of ore, which led to purchase of the mine by the Standard Company in 1877. People flocked to Bodie and transformed it from a town of a few dozen to a boomtown. In 1881, Bodie's "bust" began and the town's population declined drastically. The town's population continuing to decline until only a few remained.
