She halts when she hears a distant shot. Climbing out of the abandoned ship she’s in she pops up to inspect what it could be. She can’t see anything for miles for there was nothing but red sand. But the one sound was enough to indicate this place was no longer safe. That she had to leave so that she wouldn’t be next.

Disappearing back into space, she reemerges a couple moments later with everything she had with her. Jumping out onto the red sand, the instability of the sand pulling her in. From there, she makes the trudging journey through the red grains because her talons cannot grasp such loose footing. 

Through the loose footing, she eventually climbs her way onto the red hills, hoping to gain sight of her ship. She sees her grey ship stand out against the red. But she looks around to figure out where the sound came from. She wants to make sure where it is so she can avoid it. She assumes either it’s someone blasting or someone being blasted. She didn’t want to find out for herself.

crimson red is all he sees, like bright blood staining crimson sands underneath a salt surface; he remembers Crait like he remembers his name, ingrained into him like an angry scar, vivid and defined- but this is all rough edges, all violence and dark memory.

so To hefts his blaster, drags himself up from the ground, ignoring his busted nose from where the butt of the rebel blaster smashed into his visor and knocked the tinted transparisteel into his face, and aims. squeeze the trigger, he tells himself, and shoots down the fleeing rebel. score.

“Well for one thing we barely know each other. Another thing being the last time I tried to be helpful, I had to kill someone in order to save people.”

“I’m pretty that’s called  bad character.”

Halloween/Autumn Sentence Starters

I feel like I do one of these every year, but you know what? Always a good thing to revisit! 

“Can you help me rake? I’ll let you jump in the leaf pile.” “I don’t usually do anything for Halloween.” “Let’s go for a walk. The trees are beautiful.” “Halloween is my favorite holiday and I never have any plans.” “I’ve got a collection of horror movies and pizza delivery on speed dial. Want to come over?” “I’m having a bonfire. You should join me.” “I love the smell of autumn.” “There’s a huge haunted house opening up this weekend. Want to go?” “A walk in the woods seems like a bad idea. Ever seen Blair Witch Project?” “What kind of candy should we get?” “I’m getting the chocolate for me, and the lollipops we can give to the kids.” “Ooh! A pumpkin patch! We have to stop.” “Do you want to check out that corn maze?” “I hate haunted houses. Why would I pay for someone to scream at me?” “Honestly, I’d rather see teens trick-or-treating than breaking windows and egging houses.” “What’s the use of putting peanut butter on a pinecone?” “I’m just passing out candy this year.” “I’m making some cocoa. Do you want some?” “Should we buy some patterns for our pumpkins or just wing it?” “Autumn is my favorite season.” “Don’t tell me you’ve never had a candy apple.” “This time of year is the best just for all the creepy shows on TV.” “Million dollar question: Nightmare Before Christmas or Hocus Pocus?” “Want to make an autumn wreath with me?” “If you carve a dick on this pumpkin, I swear to god.” “I’ve been waiting all year for sweater weather.” “Is it too cliche to visit a cemetery on Halloween?” “I wish I could put apple cider in a pick line and drink it forever.” “What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?” “I got invited to a costume party. Do you want to come with me?” “Bobbing for apples is gross. Everyone’s nasty faces have been in there.” “Gourds are so ugly but also so cute. I want a thousand of them.” “I’m thinking of hosting a Halloween party this year.” “Trick-or-treating is for children. Let’s go cause some trouble.” “That hay ride was a lot scarier than I thought it would be.” “Painting pumpkins is cute, but it takes away all the fun of the guts.” “I’m in a baking mood. I hope you like cookies.” “I’m just not in the Halloween spirit yet.” “I want to decorate the yard big time this year.” “The scariest looking houses always give the best candy, it’s fact.” “My parents never used to let me do anything fun on Halloween.” “Want to hear a spooky story?” “Here, I knitted you something!” “Everyone is excited for Halloween, but I can’t wait to stuff my face on Thanksgiving.” “I think our house is haunted.” “A ouija board on Halloween: what could go wrong?”

“Well, you did take on someone else’s name with the legacy behind it. Of course, it’s gonna get heavy.”

“I guess this is ‘see you later’.”
