I did. Fortitude for 16..I was a busy little beaver, so I got it in when I could. Late shift Sunday, then then volunteer work Monday..no real sleep on top of that..I got it in at 1 AM eastern to be sure I'd get it uploaded. Xelyn's Aunt snagged all the attention apparently. xD
Ditto themed again, but I blame the mega-evolution pic. I really entertained myself there.

Oops, my bad! I swear I checked three times, but you were hiding up above Xelyn's post and I missed you. I'll fix that.

The thought is to make a new thread. And yes, the freebies can be of any sort you'd like. smile Most people do quick sketches.

Day: seventeen Theme: blood
The blood pooled beneath her still body, staining the pale coverlets a deep scarlet. Her hair was splayed out across the pillow, golden against the white fabric. If it hadn't been for the blood, I would have thought she was simply sleeping; her eyes shut, her face slack, hands lying neatly beside her. And yet...even though I knew she was dead, my mind tried to tell me that it wasn't true. Maybe she was okay. Maybe this was just a horrible dream that I would wake up from at any second. But no. She lied there, unmoving, with all that horribly red blood.
And all I could do was stand and stare, frozen in disbelief. I don't know how long I would have stayed there, immobilized, if it wasn't for the sound of someone coming out of the bathroom that was connected to my parents' master bedroom. My eyes lifted from the dead body and locked onto the man now standing over her. He watched me silently, his eyes empty and blank. The sleeves of his shirt were stained red and though I didn't want to believe it, I knew that he had killed her.
My legs trembled beneath me, and I thought I would collapse right there on the floor.
"Daddy?" I said, choking on the word as a sob tried to spill out of my throat.
He came around the bed and stopped in front of me, kneeling down so that he was eye level with me. "Seth," he said, his voice as empty as his eyes. "You weren't supposed to see this." He patted me on the head and smiled. "Why don't you go back to your room?"
I felt my bottom lip tremble, and I tried to look past him; tried to see the body of my mother, but he blocked me, keeping himself positioned between me and the bed.
"Why?" I asked, turning my eyes to him.
He sighed and ruffled my hair. "Don't worry about it. Everything will be okay. Go back to bed, okay? I promise I'll fix everything."
I nodded my head and sniffled. My father stood up, towering over me, and I turned around and did as he told me. He would have things back to normal by morning, I was sure of it. He'd promised that he'd fix it, and my father never lied. Never.
