Running Away From the Circus

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under microfiction, VSS365

“You can’t quit now, Poppy, not now that we’re about to get our big break! The Amazing #Octothorpes are headlining the Grand Circus, and it only works if there are eight of us! Eight Thorpes! No one will pay to see the Amazing Septuathorpes! No one!” #vss365

Forgetting

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under briefly write, fantasy, microfiction, nanofict

Overwhelmed with memories, she sat beside the fountain and tore another piece from the baguette. She’d lost her appetite, so she tossed it to a pigeon. She needed a forgetting spell, and she knew just where to find one. If only the price weren’t so high. #brieflywrite #nanofict

The Bakery of Moods

Posted on September 29, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under fantasy, mentalhealthprompts, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

As the shorter days approached, the crowds became more and more #obstreperous. Victor added just a whisper of lavender into the buns he #baked in his shop every morning and threw wide the doors to waft the scent into the streets. #mentalhealthprompts #vss365 #whistpr

Transfer of Power

Posted on September 28, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under microfiction, Sci-fi, VSS365

Lord #Xertz, #finifugal as ever, put off his #abnegation of the crown until the very last moment. The Fringians had already taken aim at the planet and were counting down. “Fat lady finally sang, eh?” said Eridic. “Still an #agelast, I see. That one was funny, old man.” #vss365

The Scenic Route

Posted on September 24, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under fantasy, microfiction, VSS365

They wound their way along the narrow, #anfractuous paths, past the #colporteur hawking news and shops devoted to potions and palmistry. The ordinary cafe was #barmecide after their magical route and Ralph was overcome with #deipnophobia. #vss365

Bursting Into Song

Posted on September 20, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under fantasy, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

As usual, when they began to respond in #rhyme, Stephen got the hell out of there. He’d lost one afternoon to an impromptu musical, and he was determined to #absquatulate before this one began. #whistpr #vss365

Just a bit archaic

Posted on September 19, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under microfiction, Sci-fi, VSS365

“Don’t be such a #groke, Peter.” Helen swallowed. “If you wanted a granola bar, you should have brought your own. We’ve got a #chiliad in the pantry. And get a tissue for that #meldrop.” Peter often wondered if Helen was from a different era, but she would never tell. #vss365

A Novel Mystery

Posted on September 17, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under fantasy, microfiction, mystery, VSS365

“There’s a #biblioclept plaguing the libraries of the city. Smythe, take your #macrosmatic hound and see if you can find his trail. The rest of you, guard the houses of books from further disruption. You are authorized to #defenestrate on sight.” #vss365

Hypnosis

Posted on September 17, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under bravewrite, fantasy, flexvss, microfiction

“Imagine walking through a desert. The sand is hot under your feet. You’re thirsty and tired, and you come upon an #oasis. Describe it for me.” “There’s just a blue door. I’m going to open it.” “No, wait–” This had happened in #therapy once before. #whistpr #bravewrite

Vocabulary

Posted on September 13, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under microfiction, VSS365

“How’s it going?” He gave a great sigh and stretched. “That was quite a #pandiculation. You’re #pauciloquent today. Frustrated? #Wabbit? Overcome by #alexithymia?” “I’m going to throw away your word-of-the-day calendar,” he said. #vss365
