Eyeing the crowd ahead, the rogue tugged the mage's sleeve. "Keep your pace #sedate. We mustn't attract attention."

"I think you mean—"

A dozen guards rounded the corner. "There they are!"

"Now, that's a problem." The mage smirked as he triggered his vanishing spell. "Not for me, however."

Setting 🌅 Sun

Your brilliant colors astound me and your lighter hues, calm. You seem untouchable, you seem close ... place you 'top my palm.

Your energy is boundless but somehow, you still contain. I could write forever; but your beauty, never explain.

First, rays upon me exhilarate ~ make me want to fly. Then, oh so subtly sedate me ... It's time we say, "Good💤bye."

i sing the Ramones
but “i wanna be sedate”
somehow sells it short

#MastoPrompt Sun 21 Jan 2024:

He was calm, tranquil, his lifestyle #sedate and sedentary, to all intents and purposes he was a gentleman of leisure.

None ever knew that he was only ever truly relaxed when his victims were #sedated with morphine, and happy, blissfully unaware of the mutilation he had in mind for the creation of their living hell.

The #MastoPrompt for Sunday 21st January 2024 is:

#sedate

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

Afghanistan: ‘I have to sedate my hungry baby due to aid cuts’

"There have been nights when we have had nothing to eat. I say to my children, where can I go begging at this time of night? They sleep in a state of hunger and when they wake up I wonder what I should do. If a neighbour brings us some food the children scramble, saying 'give me, give me'. I try to split it between them to calm them down," Sohaila says. #Afghanistan #sedate #hungry #baby #due #aid #cuts
