“I’m #pleased to meet you,” he said, doffing his #hat. “I can see your dis-#belief but I assure you my #talents are up to the job.” “You do have a #number of satisfied customers, but–” “No one expects a stylish assassin.” #366FF #whistpr #vssmagic #bravewrite #vss365

From the old stories
From deep within the #overgrown #forest, they heard a #rustling. Not a lost #dog or #cat; they heard #laughter too, an #enchanting song that drew them into the #kaleidoscopic light of late afternoon. They knew the #folklore, but they went anyway. How could they not?
Anti-Muse
He was sure she was his #muse, but she was from the other side. She kept him sated with #food and sex, dulling his creative drive. The gods didn’t want his story told, but they didn’t want to just smite him. This was the gentler way. #vssmagic #bravewrite
Into The Woods
Four children went into the #forest #together. Only three came out. “It was only a #game, it was only a game,” were the only words little Peter ever said again. There was no trace of Lucy, no matter how hard they searched. #366FF #vss365 #whistpr
Lost Explorers, Lost Appetites
“Why don’t you go #forage for #native plants? Not the flowered one–it causes #seizures.” “Thank you for your #sacrifice, Steve.” “Or those #tangled vines over there that caused the #genocide when distilled. Right, everyone #excited for lunch?” #366FF #bravewrite #whistpr #vss365
The Dollhouse
She studied the radiator behind Grandmother’s dollhouse, looking for the source of the persistent #sussuration. She knelt down and bent close, her attention caught by the #wink of a #miniature figure in a tiny window, her dress the same #print as her own. #366FF #whistpr #vss365
Moving In
“He’s not a #verbose man, Jean.” “Okay, Mom, where’s he from?” “#Scotland or #Spitzenburg or Saint Louis. Something with an S anyway.” “He’s moving in with you. Shouldn’t you know these things?” “I know enough,” she said with a #wink. #whistpr #vss365 #366FF
Now, That’s A Party
The door opened and music spilled out. “Hey, Joey, you brought the weed, right?” Joey hid the music store bag. He was sure Eric had asked him to bring #reeds. He’d been all excited for a clarinet-playing party. “I forgot something. Let me just run home real #quick.” #whistpr
Hahahaha I basically wrote a Far Side comic. I can picture it and everything.
The Wrong Dose
“You #reap what you #pour,” she said, nodding wisely. “A #reed is but an unloved flower. A pearl in the hand is worth two in the bush.” Madeleine saw the bottle of Sagacity Serum on the table. “You have to take the full dose or it doesn’t work right, Bev.” #366FF #vss365 #whistpr
Secret Ingredients
“Oh, this #fudge is #divine. Chocolate is the #chief flavor, of course, but what’s that #earthy undertone? Coffee? Some kind of liqueur?” “Chef’s secret,” she said, smiling, eyes darting to the bottle of poison. “Another piece?” #vss365 #vss365 #bravewrite
