I'm trying to finish three half-drafted pieces (consequence of a scattered workflow amid the local celebrations).
Brain's all over the place, though, so here's a wee activity I sometimes do to sharpen my mind again: drabble challenges!
I need four things:
1) an unusual word (but not too long, for character count reasons);
2) a location (anywhere in time & space);
3) a tone for the story; &
4) a missing item (literal or figurative).
If you'd be so kind, I'll write you a wee toot of a tale. :)
@MLClark
1) Leviathan
2) Segmentum Pacifica, 41st Millenium
3) grimdark
4) Hope
They will tell you Nurgle won that day on Sabatine--the final day of Sabatine.
They will tell you the Fly Lord swept pestilence over White Consul, & all who remained bent the knee to beg for cheer amid their suffering thereafter.
They will forget the relics in the vault.
Overlook the Leviathans yet slumbering there.
Oh how the Chapter marches on, in search of a new world!
But also... how one marine, interred & waiting, is dreaming: one day, somehow, of reclaiming his own world.
@MLClark absolutely brilliant! kudos!
This is so awesome and any CoSoNaut can be the fortunate recipient of M.L. Clark’s Children of Doro, published in May 2023!
Check out a sneak peak on Amazon, then place your bid at #CoSoBookTreasures !
Remember, I’ll auction the 3 books separately too.

(Kind of difficult to imagine a WarHammer story *not* being grimdark, eh? 😉)
