“Now watch as I transform this chicken into a #phoenix! #Taadaa!”
“Ew, what is that?”
“A #tadpole. Again.”
“Can you turn it back?”
“I can turn it into a frog. Eventually. Pass the fishbowl.”

Part Of This Complete Breakfast
“#Pass the toast, please. Whole #wheat.” “A day of #jaw-dropping boredom working those infernal machines stretches to #infinity before us. Don’t be a #hero. Have a pastry.” “So many adjectives and #nouns at the crack of #dawn. I need coffee.”

Infernal Machines
“Why the bad #mood?”
“It’s those infernal machines again. They’re stuck on the #delete #cycle and zapping everyone who enters the #parlor. I’m just #grateful no one I like has stopped by.”
“Did the fellow with the newspaper subscription #renewal–?”
“Zapped.”

A New Obsession
“You’d better #hurry or you’ll be late for work.”
“I called in sick. That #crude construction wasn’t nearly #squirrel-proof. They’re #cerebral animals. #Sneaky. Ate all the birdseed again. In my backyard #sanctuary! The #glitter just makes the trap pretty.”
“Oh boy.”

Music to my ears
“What is this awful sound? I thought you said a string #quartet was playing tonight.”
“I never said string. Triangle, tuba, kazoo, accordion. 1-2-3-4. Quartet.”
“What did I do to deserve this #torment?”
“I’m dating the kazoo player. Isn’t he dreamy?”

Crime and Punishment
“Please stop this #torment,” #Jasper begged his captors. “I shouldn’t have wrapped my gum in a page from the holy #book. Just tell me the punishment in #store!” “All right, to the #gallows then.” “Wait! I want the torment back!” #vssdaily #bravewrite #flexvss #vss365 #vssmagic
Don’t Look Back
The endless #rain beat a steady #tattoo of #angst into the #pit of her stomach as she #wandered the house, trying to identify the strange cry. She heard a thump from the attic, but it was a #decoy. The real danger was behind her.

Pickup Lines
“You know, #sinistrality is my #kink,” she whispered in his ear. “There’s a place in the woods we could #wander to.” “I’ll try anything once,” he replied, downing his scotch. She smiled. It was so #easy to find willing sacrifices. No one had had a decent vocabulary in decades.
Heirloom
Clearing out his grandmother’s house was exhausting work. Simon sat down with her old wooden jewelry box. In it was a brooch he’d never seen her wear, a golden snake #coiled around eggs of #precious stones. He peered closely as one began to crack. #whistpr #vssdaily
Moody
“My house or yours to work on the class project?” “My #preference is yours. There’s an #eclipse tonight. #Father always gets rather #gruff around that time.” “Oh, I forgot! What #creature does he turn into again?” #366FF #vss365 #flexvss #bravewrite #vssmagic
