A humble wordsmith crafting tiny stories on my little corner of the internet
He was a man of great privilege, thanks to horded wealth from peons bled dry. With a whisper in the right ear, he had the #power to control others like puppets, to command armies, to shape and break diplomacy. When he died, prestige offered no protection. The worms ate him like anyone else. #vss365

The children grabbed their sleds and raced upstairs. Snow pilled high above the #doorway, reaching the second story windows. Once they popped the screens off, they had a perfect mountain to sled down. The once in a lifetime blizzard had gifted them the memories of a lifetime. #vss365

She bought a lottery ticket every day after work. For just couple bucks, she had a #chance to win more than she could ever hope to earn in her life time. Her family said it was a waste of money, but it was her money to waste and her dream to keep alive. One day, she'd win. She had to. #vss365

In bed, he sat bolt upright. Something had gone bump in the night. A closet monster or perhaps a #malevolent spirite? No, it was only a branch against the window alight. He went back to sleep, no longer in fright. #vss365

Her face was a topographical map of wrinkles that society deemed undesirable and women far younger than her sought to conceal. But wrinkles were the rewards of a long, #jovial life of adventure, loved ones, and laughter. When she closed her eyes for the final time, she had no regrets. #vss365

The cracked windows like glaring eyes and broken porch boards like crooked teeth gave the house a malevolent #sentient appearance. But behind the chipped paint, they saw its good bones and dormant potential. With love and a lot of elbow grease, they made the haunted house and happy home. #vss365

He was known as an #audacious creator who could deliver grand plans under budget and inspire even his most burnt out colleagues. But after years of giving 200%, he'd reached his limit. He had always been the boldest among them, so who rebuilds the bold once they break down? #vss365

The crab conducted with an iron claw. Everyone knew the plaice plays the #bass and the bass plays the brass. Suggesting he allow bass to also play bass?! Sheer mutiny! Those sorts of non-rhyming seahorseplay might fly in the seagull's all gull choir, but not in the Under the Sea-mphony! #vss365.

The thief disarmed the museum alarm, spurred on by a hazy, #malformed get-rich-quick burglary scheme. He slipped silently toward the diamond exhibit, and froze before the slobbering, growling teeth. He hadn't anticipated the museum would hire guard dogs to catch any cat burglars. #vss365

The putrid #reek of death and decay hung in the air. Through shelves and cabinets she would seek the source of the sour scent. Finally, she found the fiend, forgotten between the fridge and the wall. Covered in mold and oozing with spoilage, she uncovered the offending leek. #vss365

When they moved, his parents forgot to pack the tin full of knickknacks he'd collected over the years. To them the objects were #mundane but to him they were childhood treasures. They contacted the new owners, not expecting much, but he was overjoyed when the tin returned to him in the mail. #vss365

Virgil stood #vigil at the vineyard, protecting precious plants from perniciously piggish pest. Despite distractions, the diligent dog did not dodge his duty. With concords conserved and danger deferred, he'd earned enormous esteem, in addition to the farmer's finest good boy feast. #vss365

The girl looked at her ice cream, flopped off her cone, dropped on the ground. Her cheeks bulged, her eyes welled up as she could do nothing but #seethe at the injustice. Oh, and tantrum. She opened her mouth wide for a bone-rattling cry, when her dad handed over his cone. Crisis averted. #vss365
