Fetch: Invisible Submersion

In Tune with the Infinite
Copyright Mira Nedyalkova

The day after her troubled brother Daniel's disappearance, a tearful Amber Clifford-Collins showed her Uncle Paul the disturbing final entry in Dan's diary.

The annegare
In secluded submersion
Lie invisible

Notes:
Although we believe this works as an eerie stand-alone piece, it is also part of Team Netherworld's WIP, Fetch. The Fetch blog is for Team Netherworld members only, but I reposted the chapter where Daniel describes meeting the Annegare, as he calls the mermaids of Cerenarian Sea, to his sister, Amber.
Annegare is an Italian word meaning "to drown." It is pronounced an-ne-gar-re.
Etymology: from Latin *adnecare, from necāre, present active infinitive of necō, “kill”.
Earth's Dreamlands and the Cerenarian Sea are the creations of H.P. Lovecraft.
Amber Clifford-Collins, Daniel Clifford, and Paul Clifford are original characters created by Team Netherworld.

Dedicated to H.P. Lovecraft for a lifetime of inspiration
Without him, many of our stories would never have happened

Yama's Shop of Souls

Yama's Shop of Souls

Yadira set up shop down in the Bayou
If you give her one week's wage then you can buy you
Access to the soul of one who's crossed
Across to the land of death and gotten lost
Sometimes people try to stop you, you know they just don't hear ya
Forget them and take your troubles to Yadira

For the Team with love from Yeris
I hope you like it!
I believe

Notes:
Yadira Root is a character created by Team Netherworld for our WIP novel, Fetch. She is a wonderfully wicked villain. I thought she deserved her own spin-off.

Fetch: Starting Fires in the Atmosphere

Light years from here we're gonna burn up in the atmosphere 
It's not my line, but I wish I'd thought of it

Until the time when we can finally be together
To get started, start a fire, which is another line I wish I'd penned
Copyright Ramon Garcia

As I stand upon the qiao above the lonely river
My tears will drop into waters as bluetiful as your eyes

Charge

Image by Dora Wednesday

If it gives me a charge
To escape this miserable world with its forced marches to an early grave 
And run away to a realm extraterrestrial, extradimensional
To find a small portion of imaginary happiness
I care not if you believe
For I need to retreat to this realm which is often more real than the real in order to survive

Rotten To the Core

Your Big Secret: No Heart
Copyright Lori Nelson

His look was sleek, his presentation suave
His soul contaminated by crudelis
Each time she gave her heart he would slam it down
But one day she was nowhere to be found
He missed her fawning and came crawling
"You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you," she said. "Well, take a good look now."

Astriferous Artifact

The painting in the dream lair

Astriferous Artifact
by
Little Fairy

Prompts Used:

"Gerri, don't run off like that again!" Spencer demanded, relieved to have found Gerri. "Time in this place is really fucked up. I blinked and lost half a minute. I also lost that zany character who led us into the Dream House in the first place. What is this place anyway?"
"It's a gallery of Grandfather's hopes and fears," Gerri said. "This area seems to be devoted to his incarnation as Serab. Most of these paintings are depictions of Ondina."
"So, basically, we're inside your grandfather's subconscious," Spencer noted.
"Yes," Gerri said.
"Well, that's a bit nightmarish. Quiet people do have the loudest minds, don't they? These pictures are beautiful but they're unsettling as all get out."
"Particularly when you read the poems under them," Gerri agreed. "Listen to this one."

Astriferous they
Deemed themselves, but they were low
Murderers were they
