“We’re being followed.”
“You wanna deal with them?”
“Deidre said to keep a low profile…” Zeke sighed. “Ever a thorn in my side, that lady…let’s split up. I’ll draw them off—meet you at the #Jolly_Roger Tavern in an hour.”
He was gone before Ali could protest.

“ #Raise_the_flag, Warren,” Ava whispers, tired and bloodstained.
“No—no! We’re not surrendering to those stinkin’ mages!” Penn snarls.
“The twins are dead,” their captain snaps, “and I’ll be damned if I let another one of my crew die in this godsforsaken tower.”

“Careful with that,” Elsadora snapped, rifling through her ingredients.
Morgan froze, setting the glass sphere down carefully. “Why? Is it cursed?”
“That one holds #siren_song,” the witch replied, “a few notes and we’d cheerfully drown ourselves.”

Is this a dream-world, or did you find yourself lost in time, to see those etched bones on a black tarp and, in your good mind, feel more warmth than from the sun at that port?

Shifting the Captain’s portrait, Eva spots the #skull_and_bones carved into the stone, the size of a coin. Pressing it, a nearby bookcase swings open with a screech.
Mr. Vickers pounds at the door: “What are you doing in there?”
Flashlight at the ready, she runs—

“#Sink_or_swim,” he whispers, pushing her hard.
The moment she hits the water, the clear sky turns a cloudy, sickly green; the ocean darkens, roiling waves tossing the ship about, sending the crew into a frenzy.
“She really is a daughter of the sea,” he mutters.

Set sail once again with the #FastPrompt crew for adventure and inspiration—maybe when the rum is gone, those mermaids will give us a lift to the next island…
So many siren songs in the air, so many flags raised for a siren song's idea, and you, torn up by rocks near flagposts, achingly clear-minded.

Ship with sails down, anchored near a sandy shore at sunset
All aboard the Jolly Roger.
We'll drink rum 'til our gums bleed
And pirate all the booty we see.
Be you swabby or be you deckhand,
You'll ne'er see the sea
The same way again.

Skull and crossbones flag hoisted up and waving in the wind
When they shout to raise the flag
Everyone understands
It's either win or lose.
Either join the fight
Win and live
Die and join Davy Jones
In eternal damnation.

'I know what the spells says. Instead of putting them in the fire, have you tried reanimating the skull and bones with a different kind of warmth?'
'I thought it was a little late for that. If that didn't work, I'd fall to pieces even more.'

“Sirena Magadalena” statue of a mermaid in front of ships in Santander, Spain
He tied himself to the mast
Rather than succumb to their siren song
To meet fate by their hands
Seemed worse than going down with the ship.
Some say he's tied there still.

Intricate metal skull sitting in the hollow of a tree
Thar be so much death,
They be calling us skull and bones,
So we flew it proud
And lit the fear in their hearts.
Many joined the sea
Rather than face our wrath.

It's sink or swim, they say, knowing damn well most of us had no easy chances to learn to swim here.

Sink or swim coin on a table with the "sink" side up
He flipped the coin,
Sink or swim it said.
When it rolled off the deck
Right into the ocean,
Me thought I was saved.
But he brought out rope,
Tied me to the mainmast.
Bad luck a storm came.

Welcome to the 228th marooned edition of #fastprompt with your hosts @jelaymon.bsky.social and @k----t.bsky.social! They made us walk the plank, but we've enough rum and limes to last at least a week. Join us or be skallywags!
Rather than pay attention during chemistry, Darcy’s notebook was full of geometric patterns.
When Skye asked, she mumbled, “They’re messages. But I can’t translate them…”
The #crop_circles appeared on the news the next day. The exact same as what she’d sketched.

They lined us up, cheerfully asking for volunteers. None of us moved; we’d seen what happened to the first batch of #test_subjects.
So they shot Mercy. She didn’t die quickly.
They asked for volunteers. Aimed the gun at the youngest.
Xin raised his hand. So did I.

Liam had bad dreams after the car crash. They told him he’d crashed into a tree, but he remembered another vehicle, sleek and silver and—alien.
“The pilot,” he told me today. “They’re #experimenting on it. It’s talking to me—telepathically. We have to save it.”

Just before harvest,
crop circle draws visitors.
A real investment.
#fastprompt #haiku
A quick bend there
Small crease here
The goal was to make them still usable
The crops would be useless if dead
There was an art form to making a crop circle
The more elaborate the better
But you still want to move quickly
#FastPrompt
Tip of the day: If you are having trouble finding fresh food, try creating a crop circle. This lures humans out of hiding and makes them easier targets.
#fastprompt
when there was only three
of us left,
they carted us back to our planet
and left us sitting in a crop circle.
no one believed us, of course.

Man-made crop circle in large golden field in Mammendorf, Deutschland
They left the crop circle
As a thank you note.
All it did was get me in trouble.
All in all
Would not recommend.

Humanity made terrible test subjects. That either couldn't be serious or were too invested in the administrators. Either result is too useless to waste time. There's no way to make them behave. Humanity is just bored
#FastPrompt
Strange, the way the humans moan in pain. Test subjects have shown that it is best to devour both the the flesh and organs after death for the least amount of resistance. A quiet environment is best for digestion for our kind.

Someone from Garden Flats has made first contact. They go on and on about life outside the Flats like they know it better than you, but they're nice enough - Garden Flatters are known for that - and you can't fathom they could just be experimenting with life outside their bubble.

one morning, we literally awoke
in a bright padded cell.
at first, we thought we'd been rescued.
turns out,
we were just test subjects
for the next hell
this planet had to offer.
#fastprompt 227:4
we tried experimenting
with sleeping in caves.
what we didn't account for
were the bugs.
no one said anything about
giant beetles
when I signed up for this trip!

#First_contact visited a select few, in their dreams. Hollow beings whispering, “Do not trust them. They will mimic your angels. They will bring you something akin to Hell.”
Second contact: they were so beautiful. They were so much worse than what was foretold…
