OPEN MIC FEATURE #3
"Psycho-delic"
written by Venom
Quote:
I entered the gates.. - hallucinations produce amazement
tracers crawl the floors causing duplications
retinas injected with the spectrum - plumes of radiance
as the past seems to shatter while the future's painted
I watch as the present floats off into the vagueness..
..telescopes give petty quotes to true creation
this epic gloam's an exit post for who can trade in
heavy souls against the ropes for lubrication
I stagger past a man attacking ducks that produce payments
and dancers clad in facts like "if you suck, become outrageous"
their movements seem to ripple through the rides' illuminations
waltzing to the waltzers.. - silent foolish maidens
a group engages.. - all eyes the size of frisbees
they mouthed aggressive questions, I lied until quiz ceased
I split streets with strides to try to find a fit scene
til in triumph I retired through a door lit up by big screens..
I encountered pillars embraced by a thousand figures
.. how they linger in this house of mirrors ..
shrouded pictures held in place by rounded fixtures
faces staring back through countless winters
my fingers drown my vision so I get eidetic image streams
that flow like mountain rivers.. - unfettered liquid dreams
lucid pools of red & blue behind my eyelids
but the darkness drips in despite my fighting..
I regain myself to escape this mental inception
the light of the room reduces the devil's projections
a mistake - I head to the centre of the congestion
but this is too soon for such existential self-reflection..
I see my head shrunk, then it dissipates as I move past
my legs come up to my face; I spin around the room - trapped..
next my neck pops back up through my shoulders
and mephistopheles has flexed my pupils to boulders..
.. I'm soulless .. I feel the black peel back the visuals
til a mass blank canvas & the mirrors are residual
I'm face to face with the faceless, my mind produces diction:
"I was eighteen. You killed me. I am your victim."

AOWL POWER RANKINGS
1.
Frank (Titanium) (3x AOWL Champion) (6-0)------- this week: vs. vs. zygote (5-1)
Frank has successfully defended the title 3 times. He remains the top unbeaten writer in the league and shows no signs of slowing down.
2.
zygote (Platinum) (5-1)------- this week: vs. vs. Frank (6-0)
zygote earns himself a rematch against Frank this week and has been one of the most consistent writers week in, week out. A win will really shake things up & give the Platinum conference a strong defender of the AOWL championship
3.
King Keith (Titanium) (4-1)------- this week: vs. Mike Wrecka (4-3)
4.
pohfig (Platinum) (4-1)------- this week: vs. Red glare (4-2)
poh is coming off a one week hiatus & once again will be facing a tough opponent this week. poh remains the biggest threat to Frank & any leap up the ranks will pit him back in the championship.
5.
Red glare (Titanium) (4-2)------- this week: pohfig (4-1)
Red dropped 3 spots after the loss to Frank in the championship but don't be surprised if he manages to stay afloat in the top 5. He heads the new Orange division and is now a Platinum conference member.
6.
Mike Wrecka (Titanium) (4-3)------- this week: vs. King Keith (4-1)
Mike Wrecka has another shot to get into the championship match & this week will be a huge key match up to getting there. Despite the losing streak, he is the leader of the Blue division and can definitely rise the ranks with a win.
7.
Adonis (Platinum) (3-1)------- this week: vs. Nigma (4-1)
Adonis loss to zygote last week, in his chance to earn a title shot. He has a shot to get back in the contenders match if he manages to win and some of the above loses.
8.
Ink (Titanium) (2-1)------- this week: vs. Vulgar (1-0)
Ink has won 3 match ups in a row can establish himself as a threat if he manages to survive this weeks match against Vulgar. He is also in sole possession of first place in the Black division.
9.
Nigma (Platinum) (3-1)------- this week: vs. Adonis (3-1)
Nigma is in a great position to not only earn a contenders shot, but also he can jump up immensely in the rankings if he pulls off a win this week. This will be the rare match where he won't have to deal with an opponent no showing.
10.
Vinzr (Titanium) (3-1)------- this week: OUT.
Vinzr is on a two match losing streak and sits it out this week. Who knows when he will return but he will fall out of the rankings more than likely after this week. Still is on track to make the playoffs if he can right the ship & pull off some wins.
WEEK 8 PREDICTIONS
Will be edited in early morning or Friday evening. Too tired to stay up any longer. You have enough to read for now anyways. :)
That wraps up another edition of the AOWL magazine. Shout out to Split & Adonis for their contributions, it's always a major help. Shout out to everyone who takes the time vote & show, because it has made this league very exciting to compete in when many others struggle to even gather much interest. Also, welcome back to Genocide, good to see you around again man. Hope y'all enjoy this one here. This the King, signing out. Holler.
