“I predict that your next #paycheck will be your last.”
Liz slammed down her #mug of tea. “They’re going to fire me?”
“I only #embody the spirits, my dear. I don’t make the #connections.”
Later, seeing the car #drive toward her, Liz thought, “Oh, that’s what she meant.”

“With the #internet down, we can make a real #connection on your lunch #break. You’re always playing that morbid video game.”
“Ugh! This tea tastes like #flowers.”
After Lisa moved Steve’s body and fixed her router #hack, she happily killed zombies. “My turn at last.”
I did the NYC Midnight 100-word microfiction challenge again, and had a lot of fun. Here are my prompts:
Genre: action/adventure
Action: slicing a lemon
Word: commit
“Ready the cannons, women!”
Clara poked the lemon among the nails with her cutlass, slicing through. “Scourge of the scurvy dogs!” A cannonball splashed beside the Puckered Lips. The Navy. After a decade of peaceful pillaging.
“Fire!”
Nails and cannonballs rained down on the naval ship, tearing through sails and sending the crew running. Ruby peered through the spyglass. Flames were spreading over the deck and a cannonball had breached the hull. “Set sail! We’ve committed an act of war. Best not to stick around.”
Their yellow flag fluttered as they turned southward, shouting together, “Our lemon means death!”
Nicole sighed. Dragged to another #seance by Nana.
“A spirit has crossed the #barrier between worlds! She has some #advice for you, child.”
“For me?” Nana elbowed her. “I mean, thank you, Madame Esme.”
“#Pack a sweater. The #plane will be chilly.”
Wasn’t that just like Mom?

“Excuse me, but are you the #Grand Purveyor of #Ancient Wisdom?”
The old man stopped #whittling. “Need #advice, eh? No, you want her.” He jerked his head toward a #dirty child with #flowers in her hair, parading in a jaunty fashion with a black #cat #prowling behind her.
