The Seven Deadly Sins Affair - GLUTTONY

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Gluttony: derived from the Latin gluttire meaning "to gulp down or swallow", means over-indulgence and over-comsumption of food, drink, or wealth items, particularly as status symbols.



Kuryakin woke, feeling quite groggy. It took him a few seconds to realize he was strapped into a chair, not a standard chair but perhaps more like one would find in a dentist’s office.

He was within the halo of a spotlight and that was preventing from seeing anything else around him except for the inky blackness.

“Hello,” an eerie voice spoke to him from the dark. “I suppose you’re wondering what happened to you.”

“It had crossed my mind.”

Casting Spells - 7 Deadly Sins: Lust

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I'm playing catch up here, and by some serendipitous stroke of drabble luck, this little poem is 100 words.  Which makes it a drabble poem.

Is it lust in your heart?

Or the part that you play

In the game of the night

Is it lust?

Is it just to be you?

Setting hearts all aflame

With a glance or a smile

Is it just?

Do you know what you are?

Eyes of blue, lips so ready

Are a catnip to the needy

Is that lust?

Like a spell aptly cast

You bewitch to the last

You beguile with a promise

Then are gone

Who can love you?

No one knows you

You are shadow, never light

Is it just

That we lust

Over you?

Word of the Day

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

A few sentences using the word of the day and posted in the comments. 

MONDAY, OCTOBER 21

Reticulation

[rə-tik-yoo-lay-shən]Part of speech: noun

Origin: latin, mid 17th century

• A pattern or system of interconnected lines that resembles a net
• The network of cracks or wrinkles that can appear during photographic emulsion

Examples of Reticulation in a sentence

• The interwoven veins on a leaf produce an organic pattern of reticulation.
• The shadows of the piles of sticks created an elaborate reticulation on the ground.

About Reticulation

Like the woven cords in a fisherman's net, reticulation refers to the net-like formations produced by lines, veins, or woven fibers. For fishing, the reticulated pattern allows nets to remain strong but supple, able to flex and stretch by sharing tensile stresses throughout the whole system.

Did you Know?

Reticulation stems from a Latin word meaning "small net." However, today, the word is commonly used when describing the patterns on leaves.

The Seven Days of Hallowe'en Challenge - Day 2 - Gluttony

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

The following day, Illya woke with a pounding headache. He put it down to having slept fitfully, before remembering the events of the night. He thought back to what had happened and tried to convince himself that it had only been a dream. Unconsciously, his fingers went the all-too-real wounds on his neck, which caused him to sit up in alarm.

Illya forced himself out of bed and stepped into the shower. Initially, he very carefully avoided looking in the mirror. He figured that, if he ignored it for as long as possible, then he wouldn’t have to face it. Unfortunately, as he stepped back out of the shower, he caught sight of his reflection.

Bad Habits - 7 Deadly Sins: Gluttony

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

There were screams from the next room, making Napoleon cringe at the image of his partner being tortured. It was so unnecessary.

Henry Bennington-Hyde was a vicious man, a sadistic monster in the guise of English nobility. Illya had goaded the man until there was no doubt of the eventuality of pain and suffering. All Napoleon could do was wait for his friend to be thrown back into the cell.

“You’re a glutton, Kuryakin.” Napoleon knew better than to chastise the Russian, but that smart mouth needed taming.

“Da, you tell me that every time.”

A glutton for punishment.
