Gruesome Ghoul

The gruesome ghoul, the grisly ghoul,
without the slightest noise
waits patiently beside the school
to feast on girls and boys.
He lunges fiercely through the air
as they come out to play,
then grabs a couple by the hair
and drags them far away.
He cracks their bones and snaps their backs
and squeezes out their lungs,
he chews their thumbs like candy snacks
and pulls apart their tongues.
He slices their stomachs and bites their hearts
and tears their flesh to shreds,
he swallows their toes like toasted tarts
and gobbles down their heads.
Fingers, elbows, hands and knees
and arms and legs and feet –
he eats them with delight and ease,
for every part’s a treat.
And when the gruesome, grisly ghoul
has nothing left to chew,
he hurries to another school
and waits… perhaps for you…

Mother of Autumn

Made for the AttentionSL Magazine October 2022 // https://indd.adobe.com/view/4e274a38-1262-47d1-9f49-1c26ce8a0e62

Autumn’s Mother Heart

And there Autumn met me
with the loveliest of winds;
but a heart blown asunder
as her leaves would fall again.

She mourned like a mother
who may lose her only child.
So I looked past grand color,
to see grief in her raw wild.

The moon rose like a wizened soul,
as I swam into Autumn’s stream,
a whirlwind of warm memories
and soon-stolen wishes and dreams.

I spoke kind words that did little
to ease her deep growing beast.
She even trembled with vestiges
of leaf prints near her knees.

And so, I did the only thing
a human could truly do.
I bowed with grace before her,
and kept vigil through and through.

With bravery, Autumn finally let go . . .
as our tears shook and echoed
into winter’s bleary woe.

Time moved on as it has the want and will,
past winter, spring, and summer still;
and again, I greeted Autumn.

She smiled when she saw me,
and bowed to me with grace;
the human that saw fit to stay
in grief’s lonely darkened space.

I walked closer to divine Autumn,
the wisest mother of them all,
to notice lines and creases softer,
at peace with her destined fall.

Once more, sweet leaves moved from her
and, yes, she blustered and cried.
But, in the end, she whispered to me,
Love branches immortal, never to die.

Wicca’s Originals @ NEO Japan // September 2022

Wicca’s Originals @ NEO Japan // September 24th – October 16th

While many of Wicca’s Originals eye augments are more general use, the “Bullseye” visual augmentation serves a more specialized purpose.

If you’re looking for that extra edge, this is it. This augment taps into not only your optical nerves, but also connects to nerve signals connected to your arms and hands, and uses that extra information to offer the wearer enhanced predictive aiming.

Perfect for snipers or practicioners of “gun fu”, hitting your target, even at range, is as simple as pointing where the Bullseye indicates and squeezing the trigger. Can be fed IFF (identification of friend or foe) data to prioritize and exclude targets, to reduce decision making in the heat of a firefight.

The Bullseye mod comes in clean and worn variations, with 10 color and metal options, and is a unisex, unrigged augment capable of fitting on any head.

Wicca’s Originals @ Engine Room // September 20th – October 20th

Wicca’s Originals has performed another medical miracle.

Named after the infamous sky pirate, Captain Bellamy Barclay, these arm and hand prosthetics gave them a renewed chance at continuing their dominance of the skyways after a tragic accident in the boiler room left them without an arm.

Powered with the technology available to Barclay at the time, these arms self-contain a pressurized gas chamber capable of operating for 48 hours without refueling under normal use. However, if one needs to get into a bar brawl or a particularly intense swordfight, the valve can be loosened to enhance the power behind each swing.

The three fingers are uniquely articulated to compensate for the lack of a thumb as best they can, and the entire apparatus is padded and built to withstand rugged use.

Whatever your own reason for needing a new kind of arm is, Wicca’s Originals has you covered.

Can be worn with Maitreya, Reborn, Legacy (F and M), Jake, and Gianni bodies, and comes with 10 color options for padding as well as metals.
