My World

I love creating worlds.
I take the one we all know and love and hate,
and twist it to fit my means.

I sprinkle it with creatures unseen,
with intangible pieces of magic that curl around
and through the very blood of the beings living there.

I carefully craft the conflicts that are fit to rip the earth asunder,
ready to send the inhabitants to either their early graves,
or onto adventures that will shatter their understanding of their world and selves.

These are journeys that I primp and ponder,
drawing the curious eyes closer and allowing them only enough information to peak their curiosity,
before throwing them headlong into the story,
keeping them attached and connected,
and making it impossible for them to let it leave their minds for too long.

Thoughts about it keep flashing by in snippets,
curiosity and worry for the characters' safety,
wonder at the upcoming climax.

Once you enter my world,
you will never truly leave it.
I'll make sure of that.
