“The next #opportunity for the #ritual is years from now. Take the #plunge, or don’t. I have others interested.” The greedy bastard drank the #cool, #fragrant potion, eager for power and wealth. He had plenty now, but only within the painting where she’d trapped his #spirit.

The Return
She’d been #missing for days, the search #hindered by #lightning storms and driving rain. On the day the #sunshine returned she came walking out of the forest, perfectly calm and dry. We never did learn what happened. #sunthing #brieflywrite #flexvss #vss365
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 Tranquil Knight
“It’s such a long #journey, milord, and you’ve got a nice castle already.”
“It’s just what kings do, Sir Talbot. #Daring adventures and #invading foreign lands is expected.”
“Let’s have a nice #lunch. You’re so warlike when you’re hungry.”

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.

Teenagers in this galaxy, am I right?
“You used the #filter, right?” Zax asks before taking a sip. “Duh, of course, Dad.” “It #unites with the toxic #element in this planet’s water so we don’t #lose our ability to absorb oxygen and die.” With a heavy sigh, Sarq takes back the cup. ##vss365 #whistpr #vssmagic #flexvss
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
Survival Club
“Let’s go, #Survival #Club! My pack has an #onion, a pair of socks, and a plastic recorder. That’s a great haul! Last time I only got water balloons. Let’s not have as many disqualified this time. I had six funerals last year.” #sunthing #flexvss #whistpr
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.”
