Reach through the flames
As only the bold can

Clutch it tight

Sizzling in the fire
And growl and gnash your teeth
At anyone who tries to stop you
This is your destiny

[OT] Immortality in Prompts: I'm Curious | Many of the stories that deal with immortality are based on the premise that eventually those who cannot die come to envy those who eventually will. I think it's a reverse of sour grapes, rationalizing that mortality is an asset, an advantage that those without it are jealous of. Sure we're going to die, but vampires a... | 8 | 0 | 17 | 32,979 |

[OT] Immortality in Prompts: I'm Curious | Immortality is, in a way, the subconscious ultimate goal of humanity. We have an instinctive urge to avoid death, and our higher functions interpret this as a desire to overcome death in its entirety. As a result, we're *obsessed* with immortality as a species, and in many ways our technological prowess is an expressio... | 2 | 0 | 17 | 32,984 |
