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. She screamed, before recognising the face revealed by the sheet slipping. "Gary, you asshole. Where's Mr Brigman?" Day 135 "Come on #Lithe, you know you … Continue reading VSS365 Week 20

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.

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.

Day 92 Aisha punched in her code and waited for the hangar door to unlock. Instead a red warning light flashes the computer demanded "#verify."She punched in the code again. "Verify."Slower.

Day 85 "The implants are designed to #inhibit hormones?""Yes, until we do a controlled release and we've programmed them to only respond to the implant paired with it."

Day 78 Mutual glances across the bar turned into shy smiles and lingering touches of painted lips.
