“#Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,” he said. She’d kicked him out of the car after another fight about his drinking and #gambling. He took another swig anyway and certainly felt more fond. Of her, of this place, of everything really. He felt warm nestled in the #snow.

A Flower-Eat-Flower World
“This heist is a #gamble,” she said, pulling her hair into a #ponytail. “We won’t have the #luxury of time, and we’ll have to be dead #silent.” “It won’t #bloom for another ten years, and I’ll never finish #graduate school without a corpse flower.” Botany, she thought. Who knew.
Ships and Shoes and Sealing Wax?
“It is a #conundrum,” he said, spinning a #coin on the table. “Like the #walrus or the carpenter.” “What?” He shook his head pityingly. “Your profile said you liked poetry.” “Bathroom!” I left the “#high-profile attorney” to his fancy coffee and slipped out the back door.
Check That Island Off The List
“Come on, #open the train #window. It’s a #barrier to having a good #palaver.” “Well, yes, you’re going into #exile.” “Don’t be #stern. I had no idea your #culture was so unreasonable.” “He shouldn’t have grabbed your bottom, but you turned him into a puddle of goo!”

Speaking Magic
The #storyteller soaked them all in a deluge of words. Zelda scribbled faithfully with her #pencil, but the #ocean dried up on the page. In reading, the magic was #absent, the words insubstantial as the #fluff under the sofa. #366FF #whistpr #flexvss #sunthing #vss365
A Working Lunch
“Now, the really #daring bit–”

“Thank you.”
“Fresh ground pepper?”
“No.”
“Planning the #invasion during #lunch wasn’t your best idea, dear.”

A New Pet
The clock strikes #midnight and the room is plunged into #dangerous darkness. Something begins to #crawl toward her. She #launches the net at it and ties it up neatly. “I’d like you to eat some other people instead.” #366FF #vss365 #whistpr #flexvss
Occupational Hazards
I #jump on the #late #ferry and see a #new ferryman. “Where’s Mort?” I ask. “Fell overboard and his #essence dissolved,” says the #bony figure without a trace of #compassion. The commute to the underworld is like that sometimes, I think, squinting against the #salt spray.

Well, I Did Ask Nicely
“What’s that #puddle on the floor? Ketchup? #Jam?” “Steve. He asked me out again. I managed to #stave off the rage and asked him nicely to #vacate the premises, but then he tried to #kiss me.” “Goddamn it, Steve. I’ll get the mop.” #whistpr #flexvss #bravewrite #vss365 #366FF
