There's Got To Be A Morning After ...

The rosey fingers of dawn had come and gone. The day had cast its countenence upon the face of the earth, until it too departed; conceding its brilliant veil to the starry shroud of night. In this, the twilight hour, a body stirs from its slumber. His nocturnal vision surveying the surroundings. Silken sheets peel back caressingly across his skin,

Hm. A remarkably stark piece in a lot of ways. Had to read it twice to let my brain settle on what it thought about it. I like it. Its the first time I -really- clicked with the PC being Ordo. Strangely, this one did it.

Thanks, Spider. A compliment that I take greatly to heart, as I deeply admire your writing as well. The post is sorta wierd to me even on various levels as its writer, but then ... my mind works that way. Wierder still is how the post came into being (as opposed to what the post is really about).

For me, it's less about him being Ordo and more an expression of him as Rinaldo, as opposed to what people know him to be as Julian. (If that makes sense.) Which I guess also explains why the character appears 'Ordo-flavored'. LOL

Nonetheless, thanks for the comment.

I have no idea what Julian was up to here but even with the vaguery? Very cool insight into a "night in the life" of Oncle J.

I approve.

Gratzi, my dear.

charmed, as ever. no clue what it's about, but i'm huge into imagery/symbolism and detail; and the contrast between the setting and the action was really appealing.

i loved the use of salt, btw. ;)

[bloodlines]

Thank you, sir.

Trust me, you know what its about. And yes, the salt just was a given. LOL

wow... that makes me nervous - for sure. But I'll hold off assumptions for the time being.

The salt? Brilliant. And very insightful.

Great writing =)
