ClimbDown this winding trail I tread,
Mountains rise towards the sky.
Their faces crusted with cold determination,
Stand unmoving, guarding its treasures,
Killing the daring and greedy.
The mountain I must climb.
Others take the quiet stream,
Around the rocks, in dainty sails,
Traveling the well worn path.
But not me.
Looking up towards the immobile beast,
Its daunting peak pierces me.
The mountain only I can climb.
Walking up the steep slope alone,
Jagged rocks and unstable soil
Threaten to derail me.
Vicious creatures loom in shadows,
Fighting to feast on me.
Danger lurks in every creek,
The rocks present another threat,
Or the rain or cold or sun or snow.
But I must keep climbing.
Higher and higher my legs carry me,
Above the trees and white cotton clouds.
I scan the horizon for those dainty sails,
But something else catches my eyes.
The few lone strangers living high in the sky
Offer me a respite.
But I keep climbing.
I stare out into the open sky,
Gazing at the unfolding beauty
Dancing

Falling into darkness by Mysterious-Dragon

A book without a coverA book without a cover,
Lies shivering beneath the sky,
The words bleeding and fading
Amongst an author's soft cry.
A rose without its petals,
Sways sadly in the breeze,
Taking a deep last breath,
And dies in the freeze.
A person without a face,
With no identity or soul,
Stands alone in the crowd,
Following the general flow.
A life without meaning,
Or love or aim or hope,
Sits upon the stone, staring,
Begging for the rope.

HIGHLIGHT THE BUTTONS!

A character select screen I've been working on and off on for about a week now haha.

I plan on making this into sort of a smash-bros style fighting game, but I still have to find a coder.

They should do some cool move when you click on them!

If you're looking for a coder, post on the MochiAds forums: [link]

With a start like this, you should be able to get some interest. Good luck.
