FOWC with Fandango — Swell

FOWC

It’s June 27, 2022. Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.).

Today’s word is “swell.”

Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.

Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.

    ODE TO SWELL(ING)

    My stomach is swelling
    (A product of rape)
    Abortion’s illegal
    Despite it’s from rape

    Say no more….,..

    The Final Showdown [#video: …]

    We can just start after the kiss, right? Let’s start after the kiss, because true love reversing death—or igniting prophecy, or however you want to think about it—remains, 20 years later, the most infuriating deus lip smackina moment of the entire movie. So let’s start there. Neo gets to his feet, and the agents shoot. Rather than ducking the bullets like he did on the rooftop, though, our hero leans into stillness. “No,” he breathes, the slugs slowing to a stop. Watching on their terminals aboard the ship, his cohort see what they’ve always seen: the construct hidden in the code. For Neo, the construct itself has become code. Data streams along every surface. Agents turn to glyph. He fends off Smith’s frenzied attack with bemused detachment. He flexes, and the walls breathe {or swell}. He is center, he is no-self. He was Siddartha; now, he is Buddha. When he steps into Smith, when he rends and renders his nemesis back into constituent code, the other agents heed what the swelling score tells them: Motherfuckers better run. —Peter Rubin
