#official post

You walk over dunes while an electric sandstorm booms in the distance, only to stumble upon a city crumbling despite the government attempting to keep it propped up.

In this world, where Adrenaline afflicts some humans into making them more, you can find people struggling to survive. Some are caught in their protected bubble, unaware of the rot from within. And some are fighting the good fight, because they would never live while another suffers.

Welcome to this post-apocalyptic world, where the Adrenaline will hopefully be buzzing up your neck and running through your veins.

With August, we welcome the last traces of summer.  The peak of warmer days, long periods of rest and immense nostalgia of simpler times.

In this month, we celebrate its representative flower, the vibrant Poppy. Poppies can symbolize joy and wealth, consolation and deep rest. In folk magic, it often appears in dreams and visions, representing pain relief.  The Poppy is also known for representing the beauty of letting go.

“The poppy does not mourn; it remembers”.

Rules:

Submission must include feelings of luxury, relaxation, high life, death and rebirth, or simply the appearance of Poppies in your writing or graphics

All rules of the net apply 

This is a monthly event, so you must post during the month of August

July and summer also bring a sense of energy and adventure, which is represented in our monthly flower, the Waterlily. Waterlilies represent renewal and growth, and a sense of enlightenment and spiritual awakening.
