Mouse struck a #defiant pose, arms on his hips. "You cannot enter the fort! Only members of the secret club can go in."
Apple looked hurt. "I thought you liked me, Mouse. Is it because I have a limp?"
"Of course not! I do like you. But there are only three seats in the fort. And we didn't think you'd be comfortable standing, you know, because of your leg."
"What if I brought a seat?"
"Oh, that would work. You could join the secret club."
"Will you help me carry it over?"
"Of course!"

"You're right, this is amazing stuff!" The werewolf said, an intoxicated look on their face. They sat halfway - human shape with claws and fangs out - a red drop trickling down the corner of their mouth.
"I'm glad you finally understand," the vampire giggled and picked up the bottle. "Here, have some more."
The door smashed open and several humans entered, armed with silver daggers and wooden stakes.
Their leader shouted "What is the meaning of this? Are you teaching the werewolf to drink blood?!"
The vampire calmly refilled the two glasses. "Actually, it's cherry brandy."

"Our new champion will be determined by a series of tests," the elder said.
The young hopefuls listened eagerly.
"First, each candidate must climb a tree and plant our flag, high enough to be seen from across the field."
"Second, each of you must calm a horse in the paddock and lead it safely back to the barn. The horses will be spooked by briefly playing wolf howling sounds."
"Finally," he gestured towards the long table, "each of you must eat a bowlful of raw kale."
"Why kale?" asked one young woman, puzzled.
"It grew well this year and we have a surplus. We mustn't waste food."

Awkward. I stared at the vampire's teeth and waved vaguely. "You have... there's something green."
"Oh, sorry." He turned his back.
At least my captor was polite. "Didn't realise you ate spinach."
"Sorry to disappoint you. It's #kale."

"That was great!" As they climbed off the roller coaster, the rookie beamed.
"Just part of the job." The detective took a few wobbly steps. "Following the victim's trail."
"Didn't he buy two tickets? We'd better do it again."
"On you go, lad." His face took on a greenish tint. "I'm heading for a restorative #brandy."
"Was that where he went next?"
The detective glared.

#Airisu: The Crow and the Witch
Not Easy For a Modern Witch (Airisu POV) Post 23 – 1 of 2
#Wss366 Kit #MastoPrompt GumIt turns out riding in the belly of the beast was every bit as terrifying as I’d imagined. The constant motion was compounded by a chaos of noise. I foolishly looked out a window and shrieked.
“Stop thrashing,” Sumika chided. “You’ll hurt yourself.”
I dug my claws into the seat and closed my eyes, which only made things worse as the vehicle lurched like a tree in a storm.
My eyes flew open. “I’m going to be sick,” I cawed.
“Just settle down and tell me what happened back there.” As she spoke, she touched the wound on her neck, then glanced at me reproachfully.
“Cruel, cruel mistress. Have some sympathy for your poor familiar.”
She touched her neck again, and I hurried on. “I only did it because you were going to give away the whole #kit and caboodle to that greedy kami. That would really #gum up the works. Ack…”
A glare shut down my cackle midstream, and I resumed. “Dōken-shin would have bound you in his service as a vassal. He’s not the kind of boss you want.”
“I’m a little fuzzy on what happened, so could you be more specific?” Sumika asked.
“As you command, oh great and powerful mistress. Ack, ack, ack! Mind you, this is only speculation, but Arakawa Dōken is a forgotten Edo kami who was deified to appease his ghost. ‘Hearing its voice is the time indeed when Autumn is saddest.’—ack, ack, ack—by Sarumaru Tayu from Hyakunin’shu.”
“Whatever,” she responded—no sense of poetry.
“He claims to have given you a book and now wants repayment. I merely did what any loyal servant would do. At enormous risk to my life, I came to your aid when he ensorcelled you.”
“You’re kind of rude, you know, but thank you, I guess. But why did he pick me?”

Three Kings and a Princess
Frankincense to Offer Have I: Part II
#FanFiction #TheApothecaryDiaries #TearmoonEmpire
1/4/26 #wss366 #Turn #MastoPrompt #Fall[Continued from “Frankincense to Offer Have I: Part I”]
Mao was #falling into darkness. The ground neared, sprinkled with red warty wind-head mushrooms. “If you hit bottom, you die,” she thought and woke with a start.
“Ugh,” she was clammy with sweat and her stomach twisted. “Bile,” she labeled the taste in her mouth.
Like déjà vu; she saw Gram's face in the fog surrounding her bed. “Wake up, lazybones,” the wraith said.
“Tsk,” Gram clicked her tongue. “Sleeping in that dress. If you’ve spoiled it, you’ll deal with Lady Ah-Duo.”
That made no sense to Mao. “Had Tianya stolen it from Lady Ah-due? Why would she have such a monstrosity?” Her thoughts tumbled chaotically.
Mao sat up to the sounds of crickets and cicadas. When she #turned her head to look for them, the world whirled by like a kaleidoscope with the madam’s face distorted and looking like an evil cicada at the center.

Maidens of the Shinbutsu Bunri 神仏分離の乙女たち
Side story for #Konbini Idol
•───⋅☾Tomo POV☽⋅───•
I looked up from my reading and looked across the kotatsu at Ume, a cigarette dangling from her mouth. She was staring off into space with the blanket pulled up under her chin. Despite all the work I had put in, the old house she'd inherited was still drafty. "My time would be better spent fixing this house rather than studying this. Whatever #glamour being a Shinto priest had had was long gone.”
Ume paid no attention to my comment, so I kicked her under the table. "It bores you too, does it?" I read a random line to make my point:
"While intended to clarify religious categories, the process often disrupted long-standing community traditions and produced lasting administrative complexities, #pitching formerly cooperative organizations into conflict."
I continued, "Why do we need to learn about this?" and read the chapter's opening line. "The formal separation of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan, known as shinbutsu bunri, was implemented during the early Meiji period as part of broader state reforms."
“I don’t know, but it’s kind of interesting,” Ume said.
Somewhere deeper in the house, I heard Shishi say, "Because Sensei assigned it to you."
She had that right. If Mikito hadn’t assigned it to us, there's no way I would've read this stuff.
I kicked Ume again and asked, "If it's so interesting, why are you staring into space?"
“I was imagining a Buddhist nun and a shrine maiden separated by reformers. It would make a good yuri story, and I think my publishers would pick it up as a one-shot. I’ll call it The Maidens of Shinbutsu Bunri.”
I was proud of myself. I didn't throw the book at her.

Goldenrod and Dandelions
アキノキリンソウとダンディライオン
🐰 #IsTheOrderARabbit 🐰 #FanFiction
Syaro sighed, “A double shift, and on my birthday too. Being poor is hard.”
It would have been a lovely evening with a golden haze on the hills and quaint shops preparing to close if only it weren’t so hot. Instead, the sun beat down on her, more like molten #gold than a gilded evening greeting. Even the cobblestones radiated heat.
It had been a long day. The second-shift girl had gotten sick at the last minute, and customers looking for a shady place to sit and a cooling tea flooded the Fleur de Lapin café. Iced Lapin Glacé was popular, and there had been half a dozen orders for the less popular Concomelon de Lapin. But none of her friends had visited.
She was worn out and depressed. If she were Cocoa or Chino, everyone would have dropped by without fail. Not even her best friend Chiya had come by.
She was rounding the last corner home when she glimpsed Rize darting from behind a hedge. “Oh, it’s a surprise party,” she thought, cheering up. She wouldn’t let Rize know she’d spotted him. Letting them think they’d surprised her was more important. Why had she doubted them?
A smile touched her lips, a genuine one, not her usual customer-service smile.
She paused at the threshold, breath held. She’d expected a surprise, but not like this. Golden blooms lay gathered at her feet: goldenrod, goldsturm, hawkweed, and dandelions, bright as summer laughter.
“How wonderful!” She began gathering an armful of blooms to put in a vase when her smile froze. Wild Geese, her self-invited bunny housemate, had come around the corner, a #plant in its mouth and a mischievous twinkle in its eye. Syaro’s eyes fastened on the golden yellow blossom of the tansy.
“At least Wild Geese remembered,” she said. Bitter and unhappy, she took her wildflower bouquet into the house.
Sunflowers
Glorious SunflowersAlong the wall, hanging from the ceiling, in bunches or singly, the room smiled at her.
On the table stood a yellow cake, its thick whipped frosting as soft and light as a pale yellow peony, with the words “Happy Birthday!!!” in marigold letters.
All her friends began singing to the blushing Syaro.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.Then, Syaro nearly fainted as Rize presented her with a bunch of yellow roses. “Rize...” she thought, “roses.” Her mind drifted like buttercups on a stream. All she could do was mutter, “Senpai.”
Happy birthday, dear Syaro.
Happy birthday to you.🐇 #GochiUsa 🐇 #ごちうさ 🐇

"There's nothing left?"
"I'm afraid not." The lawyer shook his head sadly. "In his final months, he became quite extravagant."
"Ah." I forced a chuckle. "I should have expected that from the old #reprobate. Any idea where the money went?"
"Unfortunately, I've not found any records."
"Er..." My eyes widened. "I'm not responsible for any debts, am I?"
"No, of course not."
"That's a relief." Phew. My cover-up plans had worked. Now, on to the next mark.

I begin as if I were ending, my life eviscerated, stranded at a new shore. With a rattle I cast off the rusty trap of an old stance, gracious but dangerous, to scour this wild beach for wings to fly again.

Absent of thought but keen of will,
With rambling hand I hold this quill
And write the words that come to mind.
Read them aloud and you will find
A steady stream of consciousness.
I’m not concerned that I digress
Or can’t complete an argument,
For I know what I think I meant.#poetry #smallpoems #riddlepoems #writing #automaticWriting #SteamOfConsciousness #meaning #intention #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

But realized the key it’s in
Was flat a single quarter-tone.

Return it rather than retune.#poetry #shortpoems #riddlepoems #classicalmusic #music #violin #vienna #childprodigy #perfectpitch #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity
