Tuesday Tales: Writing Fire Circle

Welcome to Tuesday Tales, a weekly blog featuring diverse authors posting excerpts from their works in progress. This week’s prompt is a picture of a fire circle. My snippet is from a paranormal fantasy in which a goddess occasionally inhabits the body of an archaeological assistant. Enjoy the other authors at Tuesday Tales.

Utes of all manufacture, size, colour and model were on display at the Show and Shine, Deni Ute Muster. From vintage to utes that were two-packed and shined till they glowed. Parked next to each other in the muster paddock they were a favourite with the crowd of over 15,000 fans who attended the two days.

Circle

“The teary eyed crossing. That moment of recognition, When one battle has been waged and won, And now is the time for me to step into the ring. Eyes watering, Pulse racing, Breath panting. This is the colloseum of our lives. Here we enter alone, But never so. Here we roar and scream and curse the skies. We ask for our hearts back, No, we take our hearts back. We shame those who hurt us, We say what we feel, What society says we must never admit. A crossing from one personal warzone and into a new one. And yet so 25 battles later and we would fight for one another again. Brothers and sisters in spirit. Warriors of the soul and the heart. The entire universe was in that circle with us. Soundtrack to our glory. Ripped off parts of us and nailed them to the floor and the walls. Caressed the faces of our child, Whispered sweet nothings and everythings into the ears of who we love, Said goodbye too too many times, Welcomed back not enough times. I learnt what it is to be understood on that battlefield. Ugly became incandecent beauty, Fear became strength, hopelessness became joy. We were alone and all one. Found wholeness in the holes of our souls. 25 souls raging to be heard to be seen to be loved and understood and accepted, And we won.”

The talk of a sequel to the film…
