#SundayLit Q2. Does your world building include games? What purpose do they have in the story?
I research and use games with cultural or historical significance. I don't so much world-build as explore the world as it was.

Q1. Which games do your characters play as a pastime?

“I must have died and gone to heaven. I see an angel.”
I looked over, taking in the speaker. Crude like his clothes: expensive, tasteless, like a gold-plated oil donkey gushing crude.

#SundayLit Q2: The Mentor archetype is often depicted in popular fiction as an old white man.
An interesting observation. I write in a Japanese millue, so this isn't quite what happens. It's an old, wise Japanese man.
How easy it is to slip into genderized stereotypes. I will have to think […]
#SundayLit Q4: Dreams can equally mean goals. Do you, as an author, let your protagonists achieve all their dreams?

**Snip Konbini Idol**
All around was a clear **blue** sky, and far below were **green** prairies cut by **tan** roads. Houses clustered like prayer beads along them […]
#SundayLit 10/11 prompt is: Colour
The meaning of Blue.
For most horror and horror-adjective fiction, red is the color of fear. Demon eyes blaze red, fire crackles.
However, in "Otherside Picnic," blue represents otherworldliness, and that seeped into my work. Ghost and phantom flames give […]

The #market had just #opened, and Tina #trembled. This was her first show, a small affair in a neighboring village. There were a few farmers, the blacksmith, a phone service vendor, one juggler, and a local musician.
