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

A Working Lunch
“Now, the really #daring bit–”
The waiter appeared. Again. “The dressing is #enriched with a #wildflower extract–”
“Thank you.”
“Fresh ground pepper?”
“No.”
“Planning the #invasion during #lunch wasn’t your best idea, dear.”

They Never Listen
“There aren’t #centaurs in this #country,” he scoffs. “It’s too far north.” Riley is tired of arguing with him. She shakes her head when she finds his body trampled, but really, he could have listened for once. She told him about the #danger. #vssmagic #bravewrite #vss365
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
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.
