The rope creaked as the branch bent under Mel’s weight. It bit into his throat, cutting away his breath.
Everything went silent except Mel’s grunts, as the vision in the corners of his eyes began to dim. Time slowed down, and out of the darkness faces watched him. Mom, Mary, Kelly the Corgi, all of them watched him in despair.
The regret set in.
An ear shattering crack ruptured the night, and Mel’s knees hit the grass. Gasping for air he stared at the stars in the sky.
Another chance at life, that’s what he wanted that’s what happened.
You went a bit dark on this one Miguel so I decided to go in the opposite direction - thats the best part about this game 😉
The rope stretched between them, taut against the howling wind.
Snow blinded their path, the blizzard swallowing footprints as soon as they fell.
Father led, gripping the rope with frozen fingers, mother behind him, clutching their youngest to her chest. The eldest, barely more than a boy, anchored the rear, trembling but firm.
The rope was their tether, their lifeline—without it, they’d be lost, scattered in the storm’s fury. It was more than hemp and knots. It was love, duty, survival.
One step. Then another.
Hand over hand, they pulled forward, bound together by something stronger than the storm.
An old memory
Does anyone remember soap on a rope
Or am I just a rhyming dope
It seems I remember the thing
But it is possible I sing
Of events and things that
Never happened yet
My memory is not what
I could call intact
Time is a slippery thing
In a mind that sings
Of here and there
And everywhere
Am I making any sense
Should I put up a fence
Around my brain
So I won't seem insane
But soap on a rope is all i am hearing
So am I a dope i am fearing !
