Driving an hour tomorrow to see if the surgeon can remove this bump leftover from my thyroidectomy four years ago. I wouldn’t care as much if it wasn’t SO DAMN ITCHY!

Wish me luck!

Wes is the tetris master!

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #amwriting
“You really think this is all going to fit in the van?” Alice asked, quirking a brow at the pile in the middle of the garage floor. Before Everett could sigh one more time, Wes stepped up and waved Alice off as he added his armful of equipment to the pile. “I got this. I’m a Tetris master. I was always the one to pack the old station wagon for family vacation. Six people’s luggage in one tiny little trunk. This will be no problem.” “Do you need any help?” Everett asked, already ticking off another box on his spreadsheet. Cracking his knuckles, and then his neck, Wes laughed. “You’d only slow me down.” “Then we’ll leave you to it.”

Sophie finally comes face to face with Mr. Marsh...

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #amwriting
Sophie turned to find an older gentleman in a fine suit with perfectly coifed grey hair striding quickly across the marble floor, the tapping of his shoes echoing around them. Quickly dashing her damp palms over the skirt of her dress, she situated a polite smile on her face and greeted the man, hand outstretched, “Mr. Marsh, I presume?” The man came to stand before her and offered his hand with a pleasant smile that reflected in his intelligent hazel eyes, “I am, indeed. It’s wonderful to finally meet you in person. Did you have any trouble finding us?” “Not at all,” Sophie lied. She really didn’t want to start this business relationship off by admitting she was terrible with directions. That wouldn’t be a good look.

Everett will not be swayed...

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #amwriting
“But what if she isn’t a fraud?” Elianna continued, their blue eyes gleaming as they flicked a long strand of blue bangs out of their face. What did he just say? There was no such thing as mediums. He didn’t feel like repeating himself yet again, but it looked as though he would have to. But before he could open his mouth, Wes popped up from behind the stack of equipment with a grin to match Elianas. Great. “Come on, man. What if Ellie is right? I mean, I know you don’t believe in this stuff, but that’s just because you’ve never seen it before.” “Because it’s not real,” Everett said for what felt like the nine thousandth time. “There’s tons of first-hand accounts out there of this stuff,” Wes went on as if Everett hadn’t spoken. “That many people can’t be wrong, can they?” Everett stared down his nose at the shorter man. “I assure you, they can.”

The spirit Sophie is trying to cleanse is NOT happy...

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #amwriting
For a spirit that barely came up to Sophie’s chest and looked like she might weigh eighty pounds soaking wet, Mrs. Jameson had a mighty powerful glare, which she levelled in Sophie’s direction. A glare that could be felt all the way down to her toes. Thankfully, Sophie was accustomed to dealing with angry spirits and knew not to give anything away. Even if she did feel her pulse tick up to a soft gallop. “The color,” Mrs. Jameson said, enunciating each word with painful precision. Despite her short stature, she somehow managed to look down her nose at Sophie with distain. “The…color,” Sophie repeated, tasting the words on her tongue as she said them. The color was wrong? What the hell was that supposed to mean? This time, the spirit nodded emphatically, waving a wrinkled arm at the room around them. “The color. It’s all wrong.” Sophie froze. “You have got to be kidding me.”
