In my case that seed may fall on rocky ground.

Rocky ground, eh? So the image could have been given the title, Eye of the Tiger?

Well, you may have something there:

Turn the picture upside down, and you've got some kind of skeletal creature (bird?) with a pincer-like jaw/beak.

But I mentioned before, the picture looks more like things caught in a web than any kind of seeds.
 
Damn but the formatting on my story isn't what I thought it was. It's a mess. Could have tidied that if I'd checked sooner. Apologies.
 
Rafellin: The author writes convincingly about a completely nonhuman character. This adds realism to the story's chillingly imagined premise.

THX1138: The deceptively calm tone of this story gives its surprising conclusion extra power. In addition to a compelling plot, it offers a thoughtful look at the question of consciousness.

Astro Pen: The poetic imagery found throughout this story draws the reader into its dream-like mood. The breadth of the vision it provides strikes one with awe.

AnRoinnUltra: With a razor-sharp satiric look at a familiar folk myth, this story demonstrates the power of belief. The ironic ending adds spice to the mixture.

Ian Fortytwo: This charming and colorful fable delights the reader with its gentleness and optimism. The theme of sharing the extraordinary could well apply to us all.
 
@Rafellin .... Gain in Translation .... This is a story of wonder and communication across what would seem impossible barriers.

@THX1138 .... The Question of, ‘I Am.’ .... This is a story which underlines the fact that emotions can crank up our desire to be understood and perhaps obeyed.

@Astro Pen .... Symbiosis .... This is a story which explores the connection that can be made between separate entities at the crosswords of sound and being.

@AnRoinnUltra .... Honstobock Giollavurra and the failed Invasion of Earth .... This is story which seems so weird and yet so weirdly believable that I have an urge to clamp down on my sphincter.

@Victoria Silverwolf .... Amanda .... This is a story that made me think of John Denver and rethink what one of his songs, one of my favorites, might actually be pointing toward.

@Ian Fortytwo .... The Enchanted Threads of Silas's. .... This is a story which is wonderful fantasy of peace and love and harmony in a place and a way heretofore unimagined.
 
Fortunately, an idea bubbled to the top of my mind a week ago. The Muse was on vacation.

I just finished my entry and posted. I'm looking forward to read all of the other tales that came before mine.
 
@Starbeast .... Fiend From Another World .... This is a story that takes a page out of the "You know you are doomed, but you're not sure why you're doomed, and what are you going to do since you are doomed" playbook.


***@starbeast --- your avatar has gown a handsome hat and that rugged three day old beard looks good on you.
