The link again OR a title you would like to use
For my first month back, I've decided to do a fishing-themed month, inspired by a favorite book of mine: "A River Runs Through It", by Normal MacLean. I recommend it to anyone: if anyone in the community would like to borrow my audiobook copy, let me know and I'll send it out to you!
Your Week 3 Topic is...
Scale
Along my previous theme of superpowers from week 1, a scale is often seen as one of the most horrific disfigurements that a human being can be inflicted with. There are countless stories of humans being twisted into lizards, or half-man, half-lizard creatures roaming throughout the world. In several religions, the scaled snake is also seen as the embodiment of evil, staring at our delicious souls through reptilian eyes...
Interestingly, a "scale" is also a balance -- whether it be the balance of good and evil in the world, or the balance of chaos and order, light and darkness, fire and ice, and so on. there must be balance in the universe as it exists now, or something would have overwhelmed the other, correct? Or is it not necessary for an inequality in power to translate to dominance?
Whether your piece this week is about one person's struggle with their weight or something of a far vaster scale, I look forward to seeing what you create!
