The coloratura bent the first note. Telephone lines sagged like taffy and slowly felled their poles. The page misted; she paused a serpent's blink. Cell towers sank in bogsand. She trilled and satellites quit their orbits; some grew comet plumage. Her last note thinned to silence. Hello? Is anybody there? |

 reports, 1d 18h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
