The #playful spirits are flying tonight, out to #fascinate or #horrify the living. But Steve keeps moaning how he #regrets his #quixotic life. “Scare a few people, man! It’ll cheer you up.” Herbert was a life coach in life, and now he’s a death coach. #366FF #whistpr #ficchills

An Unexpected Corpse
You expect the inhabitants of a #cemetery to be well below ground level, safely locked in pine boxes, but Ruby trips over a #headless one on her shortcut home. Why would someone #dismember the #candy shop owner? #vssmurder #ficchills #flexvss
Underworld Agitator
He’d tried to #foment rebellion among the demons twice already, but perhaps the third time was the charm. Or the curse. He read them a #page from his latest treatise on freedom and self-determination. He had a good feeling about this one. #bravewrite #whistpr
No Second Date, Then?
“I’m in a bit of a #bind. Could you #pretend to #chat with me?” Hal was dazzled by her beauty and let her lead him away from the crowd, into a dark corner. He didn’t suspect anything was amiss until he heard her low #growl. #vssmurder #366FF #vss365 #flexvss
A Little Break
The #object of her surveillance began to sing, a #joik, a rather #romantic #old folk song, really. She sat down to listen. She could #behead him after he was done. #Assassination was stressful and she could use a break. #flexvss #vss365 #bravewrite #whistpr #366FF #vssmurder
A New Accessory
She #cackled and watched the #jet black potion swirl in the #round cauldron. She’d concocted the perfect #torture for her foe. Miles away, Eric tugged at the pink ribbon around his #neck, but it was stuck fast. That witch thought this would #debase him? He gasped as it tightened. #366FF #flexvss #vss365 #vssmurder #whistpr #bravewrite
Into The Woods…With Steve
The angry #mob was running late #because of the #debate over torch to pitchfork ratio. That finally settled, they headed to the woods to #collect the witch’s head and break the #curse, led by Steve. “Did someone remember the magic #sword? Ugh, I have to do everything myself.” #whistpr #vss365 #bravewrite #flexvss #366FF #vssmurder
Rules Are Rules
How To Spell
“Is your hand up, Hannah?” “Yes, miss, can you tell me whether ‘garrote’ has two Rs or two Ts? I can never remember.” “It’s two Rs, dear.” “Thank you, miss.” “You are working on the ‘What I Want To Be When I Grow Up’ essay, aren’t you, Hannah?” “Yes, miss.” #vssmurder
Haunted House
The #atmosphere was impressive, she’d give him that. An #abandoned warehouse had transformed utterly into a #haunted #mansion for Halloween. The cobwebs, the shadows, the spirits bent on #vengeance–oh, dear. Those weren’t fake. #bravewrite #366FF #ficchills #vssmurder
