    Emily knew their neighbour was a demon. She was the only one who could see her true face and 'Lucy' as she liked to call herself knew it.
    So she made a deal. Not the usual one - no, this was simply for Lucy to leave Emily and her family alone.
    In exchange, she would provide names of likely candidates for deals.
    As her husband was a manager in an oil company, she got to meet lots of candidates. Ones the world was better without.
    Even Pastor Jones could not find fault with it.

  2. Redcaps are a type of murderous goblin known for soaking their hats in the blood of their victims. According to Sir Walter Scott's "Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border," "Every ruined tower in the south of Scotland is supposed to have an inhabitant of this species."

  3. Fair warning, don't ever buy a pair of shoes like these. Sure, they look fantastic. They were 75% off. We were in New Orleans. My size, normally difficult to find, WAS THE ONLY SIZE LEFT.

    It's a trap. Once you own a pair of shoes like these, you find yourself thinking, "Can I wear those to that CISO roundtable? I mean, I already picked out a rose-colored dress shirt so they match, right? Obviously."

    Before too long, it's no longer you wearing the shoes. It's the shoes wearing you.

    But, yeah, I'm totally wearing them to the roundtable.
