**The music of** @lk666

@lk666 nos comparte la canción "Silent Waters" canción de Amorphis, el presente cover fue grabado en compañía de su nueva guitarra acústica regalada por su novia @jan-mccomas, dicha guitarra presenta ese sonido tan particular de cuerdas nuevas, totalmente brillante y limpio, el instrumento no trastea, por lo que se deduce que fue una excelente adquisición, además del buen sonido de la guitarra, la voz de @lk666 se escucha muy afina en un tono de voz muy agradable de escuchar. Algunos acordes utilizados en la canción son Dm C Bb Gm Am F.

**The drawing of** @anissignature

Cross-hatching is a technique most art students must do but few succeed to master it. In Drawing An Aged Man, artist @anissignature exemplifies a mastery in his penmanship by presenting an old man in the cross-hatching style. Closing his eyes, the shadows of the violent pen markings start to envelope him. The viewer stands in a unique position to witness the pain and struggles of the old man, his own eyes closed to the troubles that await him. There is real emotion in the drawing and on the old man’s face. And we privileged spectators share in this moment.

**The fiction of** @franvenezuela

Con "En el patrullaje," estamos en presencia de un relato que aborda el tema del misterio, un relato donde encontramos una atmósfera propia para la trama, que va aumentando en suspenso hasta su desenlace. Los elementos narrativos están bien definidos, una noche cubierta por la niebla, un paso misterioso, un vehículo viejo, un par de policías armados, y un ruido que se acerca con una extraña luz que hace que los agentes desaparezcan. Aunque el relato es predecible, a mi juicio está bien contado, es uno de esos misterios que sabemos que existen, pero no deseamos que tenga contacto con nosotros.

**The photography of** @akukamaruzzaman

En Colorless Tiger Moth, la captura de esta polilla tigre se hizo con la técnica macro, por eso podemos detallar la textura, el juego con sus rayas y el paisaje donde se mueve el insecto. Al ser la foto en blanco y negro el insecto es cautivador a la vista y toma más protagonismo.

**The fiction of** @deeanndmathews

For the Ink Well, author @deeanndmathews has written a series of stories set in Lofton County, Va. Like Faulkner, she uses her fictional county to explore a Southern milieu, though hers is a contemporary South that includes the advent of Covid-19 and an empowered black family toying with the lingering racism of Faulkner's South. Each installment is a standalone short story (centered around two of the families in Lofton County); however, there is a layer of enjoyment added to the reading as characters and situations reappear and develop, and when new members of the families are introduced. The latest installment, "When Colonel Sanders Makes Gumbo In Virginia as a Gift," is a dialogue between two recurring characters: the nine-year-olds Vertran and Louisa, who have recently become engaged. @deeanndmathews does a good job humorously presenting the voices of two sweetly precocious children, and an excellent job using their dialogue as a device for sharing a family anecdote as a story within the story. I hope @deeanndmathews will publish an anthology post, so that we can all easily find each chapter of the Lofton County series.
