Day 155Her name was #lotus but she asked people to call her Lottie in the hopes they'd think it was short for Charlotte. Only her parents knew the truth, and she planned to keep it that way. Day 156There was a #phantasm following her, she was sure of it. Glimpsed only as a black shadow … Continue reading VSS365 Week 23

Day 148"Do you #regret your decision?"She turned away from the flaming embers of the home she'd grown up in. "Not at all." She assured him. But on the inside her heart ached knowing that three centuries of memories had literally gone up in smoke. "It had to be done." Day 149Aisha smiled as the Unity … Continue reading VSS365 Week 22

Day 141 The wind swept lazily through the valley leaving a chorus of #susurrus in its wake. The only evidence of its passing. There was no one about to hear the day's melody. Or do it thought. Down by the lake small hands chased dancing leaves on bare, unsteady feet. Day 142 #Frisson ricochets down … Continue reading VSS365 Week 21

Day 134 The corpse lay #supine on the morgue table. Covered eyebrows to kneecaps by a white sheet. As she turned back from putting gloves on, it moved, sitting up.

Day 127The souls she consumed were #ephemeral, and the older she grew the more souls it took to satiate her. Today, an entire village. Next week, who knew. It thrilled and terrified her in equal measure. Day 128"But I #love you!" He shouted after my retreating form. I didn't pause. I wouldn't give him the … Continue reading VSS365 Week 19

Day 120 She wasn't the first to #vanish on me, and she wouldn't be the last. Some souls just weren't as strong as others and dissipated as I consumed them, leaving me hollow and unsatisfied. Day 121The #Cadence of her voice was hypnotic, like the rest of her kind. Except for when she had a … Continue reading VSS365 Week 18

Day 114 They called her #vapid. She called them an ambulance, shook her blonde hair over her shoulder and left them in a crumpled mess on the floor. Day 115 Love bloomed like an active #volcano in her heart. Or maybe it was the side effect of last night's chilli.

Day 106"You can only try to save him so many times.""The spell has a limit?""No, but you'll forget which reality is real, lose all sense of time."With a shrug she stepped into the time #void. "I'll go as many times as it takes, Luther." And then she was gone. Again. Day 107 Luther had been … Continue reading VSS365 Week 16

Day 99 She was a #veteran of the dark arts & known across the land. Many sought her tutelage, but she refused, seeing only greed in their hearts. That was, until Mortimer showed up at her door with an injured raven and begged her to save it. "You shall save it. I will teach you." … Continue reading VSS365 Week 15
