Never Take us Alive

He watched the body resting on the shadowed ground, the blood still fresh, pooling around the man's head like a dark black halo, flecked with liquid moonlight. For now, the night still clung to the sky, but already the cloying sensation of the nuclear sunrise only a few hours distant began to thicken the air. The blood gleamed as it spread, but it wouldn't take long to coagulate in the coming heat, and the flies would soon follow, hoping to steal a quick feast before the larger carrion birds were drawn by the scent of recent death. The cigarette between his lips smoldered slowly, unwanted now after the recent violence. They never wanted it to come to this. Pulling the stick of tobacco loose, he flicked it at the dead man's feet and raised his head.

"They'll all be after us now," he murmured softly into the muddy red hair in front of his face. The woman shifted her body against his, her back pressed tightly into his chest. A soft sigh reached his ears, his own, as her hand grasped the material of his jeans tighter. Desire was still alive amidst the death.

"Let them come," her voice lazy, almost dreamy to a point as she contemplated the corpse with quiet satisfaction. She turned to face him, eyes blazing with a defiance that belied the look of calm on her lips, which made a small 'o' as she blew away the curls of smoke still rising from the barrel of the gun. "They won't take us alive."

Danse Macabre

The danse macabre burns through his veins,

His rifle marking the beat with cold, sharp

bursts of lightning that cut through the silence

                                                                                            Shrapnel and death

The dancers know their steps,

and they fall

led by the strumming

of his shadow's bloody violin

Vermilion Assassin

Fear spread through his body like the dark stain of blood from beneath a dying man.  His muscles trembled in time with the pounding of his heart as he stumbled through the dark corridor, frantically searching for a place to hide.  He never saw the crumbling patch of cement ahead of him, or the thick, gnarled root that would soon snag his ankle and send him sprawling to the unforgiving ground.

The sickening crack of bone echoed as he skidded to a stop, his eyes shut tight against white bursts of pain.  Swearing under his breath, he pulled himself to his knees and looked up into a glinting, silver ring.

Resignation flooded into him like relief as the image before him focused.  She had found him.

Immense Satisfaction

Twinge of remorse as she thought about her actions, lingering in the growing cold.


But as she started to walk away, she paused mid-step to look back. There was a grin on her face, and the remorse had melted away to leave only immense satisfaction.

Soldier

What had he been before the war?  A fiancé, a business parter, an idealist.  What was he now?  The dregs of his last cigarette settled into the rotting floorboards as Adriel hoisted his weapon and began his patrol.  The burning embers gave way to ash as the acrid smell of smoke and the thud of boots against cold, cracked Earth faded into the distance.

When the stars abandon the sky

"Even the stars abandondoned the sky...

ashes falling to the Earth like rain,

obsidian tears seeping into a crumbling ground."

     After the impact, pyres of thick, black smoke from ruined cities blotted out the sun and plunged the
world into months of perpetual twilight.  Survivors used what weapons they could find to protect what was left of their families and possessions.  Life went on, as it almost always does, but it was a wistful existence.  Most could feel it in the fetid air, though few spoke their fears aloud.  Far more dangerous things lurked in the night than bandits, and the worst was yet to come.

Welcome to Randomocity!

Welcome to the Randomocity blog!  I've been wanting to start one of these forever, and have finally made myself sit down and do it.  This is my -throw every special photoshop effect you know into one picture- picture.  Hopefully I'll learn a little technique before long. 

Anyway, the purpose of this blog is to highlight old favorites and new releases from content creators across the grid, feature role play sims, and -of course- throw in some Randomocity product placement as well.

I hope you enjoy it!
