Unexpected rain
Explosion of the senses:
See, smell, taste autumn

The audio book was coming to a conclusion, and she leaned forward.

Was it the long-lost sister no one knew? The humiliated jilted lover? Or the swindled business partner?

No! It was the ne’er do well brother who everyone thought was already dead, which was quite #unexpected. #vss365

"Animals and humans share a lot of things when you whittle away the surface." Olina said and sat on a chair. Elliot's efforts had doubled and he was almost growling as he slammed the holder against the floor. "I did... no it is not #unexpected." Uller said. #vss365

The pouring of water into the chamber was not #unexpected, but it caused a chaos in the chamber. Judges tearing their robes and trying to push the linen into the cracks. Uller watched it and felt odd as he found himself unable to find kind words for the actions. #vss365

Boxes, boxes everywhere. How long will it take to unpack? It’s not #unexpected when you move but it always amazes me how many boxes, paper, and bubble wrap is needed. And there’s always a last minute rush to pack the odds and sods before the movers arrive! #vss365

#poem #vss365 #unexpected

Misplaced, ignored, forgotten too
known to exist but where is it
unfathomable locations, places
then the #unexpected happens
a discovery from where it was left
#vss365

A pervasive sadness
tinges all
rational human beings
with unexpected
unwanted
cataclysmic
news
this week
Maybe all our
worst fears
will come to the surface
reason and rationality
thrown out the window
as an ogre returns

"Are you sure?"
"Yes. You miscarried. I know this is sad & #unexpected–"
Moira feigned grief until she was outside. The sun broke through the clouds, bathing the world in golden light like warm #syrup, and she laughed in relief. She felt like a condemned man who'd just walked free.

A Spell

The sun arises in the West
A horse has grown a horn
The Earth is clad in green again
For children not yet born

No more an #unexpected thing
Than hope raised out of grief,
That ale should run from every spring
And dead oaks burst in leaf

#Unexpected, he shows up to dinner
Bea promises, "This one's a winner!"
𝐴𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡? we don't ask
But when put to the task
He proves he's a pro Fidget Spinner.

What surprised us was that the attack was #unexpected: up until one week before, the Kröå had been staunch allies.

Their mistake: leaving a bunch of us alive. We drowned the galaxy in their blood.

In hindsight, perhaps they were right in the first place.

Cliche

Nothing is actually new.
No original ideas exist.
The #unexpected has become commonplace,
and we've stopped thinking inside the box.

A return to normalcy
is what we really need.
But no one remembers anymore
just what that really means.

When Zoe walked in, dozens of tiny, purple creatures were dancing in Sam’s kitchen. “Well this is #unexpected!”

“They say they’re called Poogans,” Sam explained. “They came out of a crack in the tile.”

“But what are they? What’s under the floor?”

He shrugged. “I didn’t want to be nosy.”

Bob and Nora follow a line of ants near a tree. An #unexpected raindrop lands beside them. The ants quickly change direction and find shelter. Bob is amazed, and Nora calls them clever little creatures. They do have to stay out of the kitchen, though.

Nothing disturbs me more than an unexpected visitor. But please don't call before you come. My phone is on silent, the dinging noise makes me violent. 'Tis best to wait & see if we bump into one another on the street. Though I'd rather we never again meet.
