Good morning, all! sliding a plate of still-warm chocolate chip cookies on the counter
I thought I would leave those and this...

Beyond the veil has been described as, a mysterious or hidden place or state, especially the unknown state of existence after death.
“…and yet what you cannot see is there before your eyes. It is the mystery that guards all other mysteries. An enlightened soul once said, ‘See what is before your eyes, and nothing shall remain hidden from you’. It is time to see what is before your eyes…”
What does this phrase bring to you? Is it love, spirituality, or fear of the unknown? Perhaps something more, something deeper. We want you to open your mind and slip beyond the veil.

Thanks, everyone! ❤️
Thank you so much for doing this and for your generosity. 70 words is hard but it brought out some wonderful stories.
Congratulations to TheShyThespian and JamesPBear for taking the top spots.

Okay, y'all are wonderful. You all made it look so easy. Welp, here's my offering. As Verbal said, I've counted it 10 times.

The summer air seemed to buzz with something not yet seen. A cry floated through the air as lightning lit the sky and thunder cracked like a whip, startling the boy. The crying grew, feeling everywhere, surrounding him, racing in on rolling clouds.
The boy froze, no longer feeling the heat of the day.
His parents' warning was true.
“‘No!” his cry was stolen by the wind.
“No,” he whimpered.

Oh boy. I will keep my distance. 😋 I have only listened to some Laufey (vocal jazz) so far. Considered cranking some metal but decided I wasn't in that kind of mood yet.
Haha, it wasn't bad, I was just dragging and needed motivation. Rage Against The Machine is my grumpy mood band. Haha

From that list, I'm definitely going with Butter Pecan. Although, normally when I eat ice cream it's vanilla with melted peanut butter poured over it and then stirred until it's mixed and soft. The funny thing is, I won't buy peanut butter ice cream because I don't like how it tastes. lol

Maxxxine / Pearl / X franchise. Is it worth it?
Absolutely. I wasn't sure about X but I watched it and I was glad I did. There is a moment in it, that hit me on a deeper level. If you ever watch it, I'll talk about it with you. I recommend them. Well, at least X and Pearl, I haven't seen Maxxine, obviously. Fingers crossed they get it right.

Bill Skarsgard seems like a great casting choice for Nosferatu.
I fully agree. I love him. Mom calls him my "pretty man" You know, your pretty man, the younger brother of Eric(True Blood) and Floki(Vikings). Haha, she is bad at names.
This means I will give The Crow a chance, even though I am the only person I know who didn't care for the original.
