Fran woke with a start. Mum, where’s my #cape whispered 5yr old Max. Are you having bad dreams? He nodded tearfully. If I had my cape I could fight them. I’ve an idea said Fran. You jump in here. She grabbed her dressing gown & pulled it over them. This is my cape, ok? #vss365

After the funeral, after all the mourners had gone, he gathered his thoughts. It had been a difficult day. 50 years. Could he live without her? Evening came and the #silence surrounded him. He sighed, so quiet now. So blessedly quiet. Smiling he sat in the good chair. #vss365

It was late, someone suggested the ouija board. Everyone else seemed up for it. Not me. Of course accusations of ‘you moved it’ rang out. Not me. I shivered. All laughing as it spelled out a creepy message. Not me. Time to go. Standing I said I #quit. Hope they do as well #vss365

His collection could be considered #esoteric, if anyone knew of it. The reason he could continue to search out pieces was simple. Don’t get caught. At times he did consider talking to his ‘contributor’s’ but their speech was usually incoherent. Marvellous things tongues. #vss365

They tried to avoid each other but sometimes it was inevitable. Those nearby would hold their breath & wait.
Well my dear you look so..I’m sure my Grammy has that very dress. It does suit you.
Aren’t you so #sweet, I can see you’ve tried hard yourself. Bless your heart. #vss365

Our village was a much sought after place to move to. Quiet, very neighbourly. Every one who wished to relocate here had to first meet Aunty. She could take the #measure of anybody within a few minutes conversation. We all respected Aunty, but we didn’t visit her much. #vss365

They all stopped. TV forgotten. Some stared at the floor, some looked sideways at the others and the #question hung heavy in the air. Feet shuffled, urgent whispers snuck round the room. No one willing to admit breaking the vase.
Mr Nobody again? Ok Extra chores for all. #vss365

It was a #delight to see Jane again. Absent for far too long on her European travels. She looked splendid at our mid season ball. The shy girl gone, replaced by a confident one who didn’t seem to have aged a day. Travels though had left her a tad pale. We’ll feed her up. #vss365

Jen sighed, peace at last. Now in her comfy chair, Cfor the cat in her lap, she opened her book. She jumped as Cfor began to growl, staring just behind Jen. Nice try cat, I’ve fallen for this before, #turning and nothing there. The cat arched with fear, yowled and ran. #vss365

Cobble stone path #glistened with raindrops
Nature share my grief
What I couldn't do with words
Hiding my own tears within rain showers...

The puddle #glistened in the pulse of streetlight. She was forbidden from scrying, but this wasn't her fault, she'd happened upon it. The sparkle faded to reveal a couple ice skating in the park. But that was the past - their first date.
As the image faded, so did her engagement ring.

She sat entranced by the sight. She’d always hoped fairies existed. But as time went by she’d accepted, it was just a childhood dream. Here now, they flittered around her, their wings #glistening. So beautiful she sighed. 2 landed on her arm. The first bite shocked her. #

Jack sauntered in. Late again to yr10 #drama club. Most of the girls giggled and exchanged glances, hoping he’d notice them. The boys scowled. He enjoyed the attention, played up to it. At home his parents were too high to care. The school was his stage & he loved it. #vss365

So make a permanent change to your entire life in the hope things might change?
The number of women whom I know who have been so dismissed by medics is phenomenal. Even gynecologists often ignore or reject obvious symptoms in half the population.

Vomiting, cold sweats, unable to walk from pain, feeling suicidal prior, dismissed by GPs since 14, wrongly told it’s normal. A gynae specialist I waited 2yrs to see said “just have a baby” and threw 100 cocodomol at me - but y’know, should count myself lucky I wasn’t at the battle of the Somme.

The challenge hung in the air. Nobody could take it back. The gang started chanting. Joey, the champion bubble blower up against Sue, his secret crush. He was in a quandary, win & hang on to his title or..Sue’s eyes glittered. He had to lose. He was a 13yr old in love. #vss365

Lyria tugged my corset ribbons, bending my ribs as if I had nothing between them but a spritz of perfume & a vapid thought. Light danced in my eyes as I entered that #theshold between life & death. So this was how the court kept women in check: by restricting both breath & voice.

I step over the #threshold and into the land of the living. Gone are the whispers of the dead, their voices crawling up the back of my neck.
I sense them behind me, unwilling to cross, though I’ve told them it’s safe.
They could have this world.
They need only to get over their own fear.

It didn’t take long for the news to #propagate across the entire campus: Holden could talk to the dead.
Suddenly everyone had someone they needed to reach. It drove him mad, the atttention. They mobbed him, trampled him.
He passed.
Now ghosts mob him because he can talk to the living.

He shivered by the door, hoping someone would answer his knock. He’d not had much luck, no one wanted new windows. She answered. He gave his spiel. Surprisingly she invited him in. Stepping over the #threshold he thanked her with a smile, his long canine teeth glinting.

Fred was an excellent #propagator of gossip. He tended his tales with a mixture of half truths and downright lies. Sprinkling in some festered malice if the occasion called for it. Each tale bloomed, they couldn’t be called beautiful, more unsettling. Bought to share. #vss365
