I wipe the smudge on the wall by the stairs, but it resists. It grows and darkens as I try soap, ammonia, bleach, lye. I scrape with my fingernails, adding my blood to the stain. The wall gives way and I reach inside. Ah. That’s where Steve ended up. #fromoneline

A Rude Awakening
#Shuffling #bravely down the dark #passageway, Ruby wondered where she could be. The last thing she remembered was reading a #rare book of #poetry by an ancient #oracle. The distant light came into focus. It was…a #marquee? WELCOME TO #PURGATORY it flashed.

Infernal Machines
“Why the bad #mood?”
“It’s those infernal machines again. They’re stuck on the #delete #cycle and zapping everyone who enters the #parlor. I’m just #grateful no one I like has stopped by.”
“Did the fellow with the newspaper subscription #renewal–?”
“Zapped.”

If Wishing Made It So
Boxes were piled up in the kitchen, a suitcase open on the stripped bed. “#Everything keeps changing,” she said. “I just want it to stay the same.” The room shimmered and froze. She touched a dust mote suspended in the air. “Not again.” #vssdaily
Mr. Wrong
Rick had seemed perfect on the #dating app, but he turned out to be sweet and considerate. Sigh. She’d have to find someone else to kill. That guy in the corner who’d grabbed the waitress’s ass would do. She promised a second date and let Rick kiss her cheek. #bravewrite
Into The Woods
Four children went into the #forest #together. Only three came out. “It was only a #game, it was only a game,” were the only words little Peter ever said again. There was no trace of Lucy, no matter how hard they searched. #366FF #vss365 #whistpr
The Dollhouse
She studied the radiator behind Grandmother’s dollhouse, looking for the source of the persistent #sussuration. She knelt down and bent close, her attention caught by the #wink of a #miniature figure in a tiny window, her dress the same #print as her own. #366FF #whistpr #vss365
Good Wholesome Fun
They went up to the #seaside to indulge in a little adolescent #mischief. You #know, flipping the #swings over the bars on the playground, toilet papering houses, maybe a little #necromancy if they could find a #grave with an occupant who wasn’t too #decayed. The usual kid stuff.

The Curse of Online Dating
He’d seemed so warm and #friendly, but he turned out to be just another #cyberbully. She met him in the shop and there, surrounded by #curios and dust, she gave him the cup with #poison in it. She #sang as she dug his grave in the #endless field. #flexvss #bravewrite #366FF #vssmurder #vss365 #whistpr
Alone Time
The #banshee wasn’t #flagitous exactly; she just wanted to be left alone. When folks crossed the sea #foam to her island and tried to get her to #assimilate to human life, of course she became #combative. And rather #stabby. #vss365 #366FF #whistpr #bravewrite #flexvss #vssmurder
