“Dance”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

I like to see sweat, slow #dance down their faces. A #language of fear, once they know; I’m a monster worse, than those under the bed.

They come to me, their doctor. Unknowingly my lab rats, until I’m done experimenting and show them deaths door. #vss365#scifansat#satsplat

The fireflies flash and we dance for our ancestors, our loved ones. Round and round, hand in hand, so they can see we are happy in our life, as they watch us from the rooftops and trees.#SciFanSat #dance

The stars speak a #language, they #dance#scifansat #vss365

I reached ten before I understood my gift: tuning in to dreams, understanding their fragile #language.

Using my talent for good, I danced with people's psyche, easing pain.

Then I found him. His bitter dreams were sick, and he knew I was there.#scifansat#vss365

His #language is pain
Spinning the tale of his
Ink stained heart
His careful words
Filling blank spaces
As accusations #dance
Across the page
Eloquent thorns
Barbed and set
To draw blood#vss365 #SciFanSat #amwriting #WritingCommunity #poetry #poem

The Night Speaks

Of you and me
Love dancing
Among the stars
Picnicking on
A cloud and
Pillow talking on
The moon in
A sky fragrance
Of lavender
The night speaks
In the universe
##Language of
Love in my
Dreams#vss365 #whistpr #Scifansat

Ballerina's fluent in the #language of dance. She'd drape her body over constellations, leap across oceans & mountains on each planet or thunder somersaults into the sun to convey any messages without having to use cold vocal chords that broke long ago.#vss365#SciFanSat #dance

They said the fight was like a dance, a universal language spoken between human and monster. But Sam had no rhythm. He was a hell of a shot, though, and an unexpected silver bullet, delivered off-beat, ended things real fast. #scifansat #satsplat #vss365

We’re still a light-year away, but the glow of Alpha Centauri fills up the observatory deck. Brae points at the binary pair.

“They dance,” she says. “Move and countermove around a still point. That’s the language of the universe.”

She takes Sam’s hand.#vss365 #SciFanSat

"Would you like to #dance?"
The man doesn't look like a #monster, but looks can be deceiving
The brush of his fingertips on my palm send shivers down my spine, tracing words in a silent #language
His smile is promising
I nod
Two can play this game#vss365 #SciFanSat #satsplat pic.twitter.com/VH9eVC9AJE

Gravity is heaven’s #language.

In a timeless life fractal, planets, stars, galaxies, the universe itself are locked within an unending #dance.

Our purpose is to unlock the steps, and discover the music that all things sing, seeking what speaks to our souls.#SciFanSat#VSS365

Little did humans knew they were designed as monsters to replace Luna's giants. Eeri, in his role as god, initiated procreation to provide natural growth.
The seeming #dance of risks & chances kept mankind in a cycle of constant changes; his utter whims.#Satsplat#SciFanSat

“We’re fighting flailing corpses animated by an EDM techno remix of The Danse Macabre, and you’re making 80s pop culture references?!”

“Yeah. Thriller Zombies… think it’s a good name?”

“Sorry, I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought!”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt

It’s starting again. The world is whispering its strange #language & the heat haze has begun to #dance in front of her eyes. The others are dead, suffocated on this airless world, but help is coming. She just needs to hold on. Unthinking, she lifts her helmet. #SciFanSat #vss365

Lift off from this rock
Zip to and fro long distance

First the void danced with itself, then parts of it started swinging each other in spirals that curled inward deeper and deeper, until they became things in and of themselves, and then there was self and other and the nothing in between.#SciFanSat

Trying to learn the #language of jellyfish, one day you go too deep. The lights of algae #dance over the umbilical cord binding you to the surface, and when the stingrays swoop in to slash the red slits of gills open in your neck, it doesn’t hurt at all. #SciFanSat #vss365

You live in my dream. Each night we go dancing across the galaxy, weaving in and out of stars until I am dizzy with light.

Without words or speech, our mutual #language is written in tiny footprints across the skies.#vss365 #SciFanSat

"As we #wade through life's #detritus, remember! #Dance transcends #language. Seize #destiny, loves.

"Sue, I don't think Max wants to partner you.

"Well, you're a dragon,he's a knight, and you called him 'oven ready' last week."#vss365 #vssMagic #vssDreams #vssdaily #scifansat pic.twitter.com/e0h4r6ekY5

Her body #language told all the tales of the cosmos. Hypnotic movement held us all rooted to the spot. 'What?No one wants to #dance with me?'she mocked us.'Come, if you do, I'll let you go.'
She stopped laughing when I stepped out.'Let's rumble…I mean, rumba.'#SciFanSat #vss365
