“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

Don’t Take Your Onion Farmers For Granted
“Welcome to the Obscure History #Club meeting. Today Margo presents on the #Onion #Insurrection of 1526.” “Thank you, Pete. This is a real-life #fable of underseasoned stew, #defiant farmers, and #optimistic palace cooking staff unfamiliar with how to identify poisonous roots.”

One Man’s Monster
Kinder, Gentler Spellbook
Her #mentor held out the spellbook. “But it’s got to be #vellum! The animal skins are specially prepared to hold in the #magical energy.” “I don’t care how it’s always been #done. I’m a vegetarian witch.” #bravewrite #vss365 #366FF #flexvss
The Lesson
I skid to the #far #edge of the pond. “Learning to #ice skate might not have been the best #resolution for me” I say, falling onto my ass yet again. “No, no, you’re doing great,” she says, glancing up at the #vultures circling. In the distance, #wolves howl.

Inheritance
As the #vultures circled the #gallimaufry of Aunt Meg’s estate, Liz found the loose #fireplace brick Aunt Meg had promised would bring an #epiphany. What was wrapped in this #new #babushka, in a dark corner among the #splendour? A brass key and a book: Meg’s Potions and Spells.

Modern Art
“It’s the #unity of humanity’s #vanguard marching at the #winter #solstice through the #isolation of a heavy #snow.” “Is that…a big #bug with doorknobs for its shoulders, knees, and toes?” “Yes, for leaving the door to our original thoughts #ajar.” “It’s #original, for sure.”

Bringing Home the Tree
The #flurries turn into a #blizzard as he trudges into the #evergreen forest. He #focuses on a tall, full pine standing #stalwart. “This one is #mine,” he says, raising his #ax. “May I help you, sir?” The daydream clears and Steve is once again standing in Home Depot.

North Pole Progressives
The newest #apprentice to the gift-#wrapping #elves corps stared at the #snowman outside the transport #tunnel. “Is that a #purple scarf?” he asked, wincing as if in #pain. “Yeah, Santa had a “Red and Green Only” rule but some guy sued and the Elf Court #overturned it.”

Meditating in Hell
“How’s your #mindfulness course going?” “Great, really great. Just #waiting for that inner peace to really kick in.” His #hair is standing on end and his eyes are #red. “Guru Beelzebub says I’m making progress. Just gotta keep at it.” #bravewrite #flexvss #whistpr
