16 Days of literature: 坏牙 (Huài yá)

{Distress, pain, shock and revulsion. The four qualities of any 坏牙 (Huài yá) - that of which makes a person regret their life despite being a minor pain in the mouth. Such is the way of how physical-mental systems work to self-terrorize itself; especially great for people that are looking for easy conversions through "enhanced interrogation" to quote the CIA, experts of torture... Today's post contains a @bananafish Mizu No Oto entry, 100-word story and an entry for @vermillionfox's Fox Tales contest... No music-aide today.}

- Train -

Scurry of feet, all reverberated by the steel, had stomped and quivered on poor Bessy. Bessy, the ol' train from the times where the World was fun, energetic, crazed, revolutionary. She toots, choo-choos, chugas and screeches wherever she's heading. From times that carried troops from the Siberian ice to Leningrad's ports, she saw it all did she not? Those times of caring yet bold arms, gentle yet fast feet, calm yet passionate voices and silent yet determined minds had rode her all imprinted on her. Yet, with rust plaguing her skin, Bessy toots along with hopes to relive those days.

- 坏牙 (Huài yá) -

Welling, drooling, gurgling, filling; the neurons in constant operation as the many million cells feel the electricity stab them all. Welling up, the feeling so piercing as if the brain had failed to neuter the pain, yet the mouth cannot relay the screams of the voice-box. Drooling fast, as the saliva water trains were let loose with the neurons in full revolt to the ache in the mouth. Gurgling loud, as the information in the mind is failing to process the seriousness of this ache that ruptures in the college of tooth and compels the voice-box to act anyway. Filling chasm, as the old saliva gets drooled out or forced by the esophagus to retreat deeper into the body. The day of the unfortunate sufferer was yet to even begin as time long since ran away from her despite telling her only mere seconds have passed when hours have gone by. The eyes, skin and mouth all with their many billion messengers being sent out and they, these lil’ neural codes, relayed constantly with no care of overfeeding her mind with information. Yet forced the mind was that it had to slow down and having to process all information indiscriminately, which had flung time so far, far away despite being so visible to those welling eyes. However, time had slowly made its march back and forcing upon the mind to sedate and numb the bad tooth ache that terrorized the entire mouth in its chaos. And with the toothache forced to keep its peace which allowed all the floodgates, from the welling ups to the drooling out-pours, finally to close as the neural revolt came to a halt. At the helm of insanity, the body was finally able to move freely and, with rag-cloth in hand, she dried herself up.

Two ThingsTM: Yah got to learn some Mandarin because 坏牙 is bad tooth and also it's FRIDAY WOOOOT!~ (Now I can #rest.)

So, wanna hear about a lil' thing called the QITR? Consider ever having something interactive and fun to read without being a UI eyesore? Consider ever wanting a chance to earn big and working together with people to get mad dough? Consider ever just how screwed up Steemit is that contests can only support writers nowadays? Consider ever wanting a prize for reading?

If you said even yes to one of those, then thou art in luck! QITR, Quest in the Realms, hoisted by the great @bananafish is an upcoming project to kick-ærs-n-chew-bubble gum. I only make headway for it since I helped contribute through writing and being a treeline consultant while organizing the daily Cthulhu chants. Anyways, QITR qua contest shall make all these other contests feel sad that they haven't harnessed the power of Steemit Blockchain mechanisms!

We got @curie, @crowdmind, @steembasicincome and so on and so on support that it just doesn't stop for our Pot of 30 Steem along with 30+ SBI Units to hand out to the winners. We've a chance to make Steemit fun and enjoyable and to see the beauty in fiction-craft. SO PLEASE LOOK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION!
