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.”

One Man’s Monster
Divine Intervention?
How many days has she been wandering the #wilderness, #surviving on rainwater and berries? So many that she thinks she’s hallucinating when she stumbles over the box with its neat #label: “Survival Kit.” #vssmagic #sunthing #whistpr
War of the Roses, With Velociraptors
“What’s #vexing you, Vidalia Rose?” “This #vendetta. I can’t remember how it started and the #vandalism…a #kangaroo #stuck in the bathroom? The blind adherence to #tradition has gone off the rails.” “After they let loose that #velociraptor, dear? How quickly we forget.”

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
