"I'll go first," said the boss, all dressed up for the cameras, #new shoes and all.
"That's unfair," Lee whispered to me. "You built the site."
It's fine. Let him make his mark." I winked. "The cement's still wet."

Say I lack #valour if you wish. I have plenty of good sense.

"What do you think, lad?"

The rookie stared. "Er...A #velour tracksuit isn't quite you, sir."

"Excellent. A chance to wear it again, *and* assurance I'll remain incognito."

"Not sure about that one, either."

I offered to pour her more champagne and after a moment of consideration she nodded. Even between us we had drunk barely half the bottle: despite this a hangover was expected.

"I still can't believe you've never had champagne before."

"Well if the price of this one is an example of most then I'm not surprised." I shrugged. "But I have nothing against it."

She seemed embarrassed, as if suddenly recalling me as being ridiculously poor.

"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."

Dee blinked. "Uncle Joe hid his will?"

"I fear so," said the lawyer. "Refused to let us hold a copy. Said he didn't want to #jinx things."

Pat snorted. "How like Grandpa. Probably thought he'd live forever unless someone found it. Mind you, it was amazing how long he held on for."

Under the desk, the dog gnawed on some papers it had dug up yesterday. They held the scent of its departed master.

#Room

I would love room for improvement
But I have no room to move in here
No room for you
Barely room for me
And when the thoughts start to race
Even I get pushed out the door
Then what?
It's just thoughts in here
Endless thoughts on a merry-go-round
Round, round and round and round
Until I sleep and dream
Of merry-go-rounds

The detective was poring over the love letter with the lipstick kiss mark, the threads of a scarf with black hair entwined in it, and the old photograph. His sidekick waited in anticipation.

The detective put down his magnifying glass and looked up triumphantly. "This lipstick is a brand that won't be invented for decades, and the polyester hair is similarly anachronistic. She obviously could not have been the killer. When you have eliminated the possible, whatever remains, however probable, must be False, Doctor Nostaw!"

"Indeed, another incredible deduction, Mister Semloh!"

"I can't stay," I told the merry faces on the screen.

"Work?" Today, my oldest friend was purple and held a metre-tall cocktail glass.

Nodding, I wondered what they really looked like. "An ancient text to #pore over."

"Like..." Their face froze. Must be consulting an infosource. "A printed paper book?"

"Exactly. See you tomorrow!" I waved to break the connection and eyed the tattered handwritten journal. They'd never believe me if I mentioned *that*.

Do not let bitterness build up within you. Let it flow out in your tears, pouring out of you and down and around, becoming lakes and ponds, rivers meeting with the sea and supporting creatures, evaporating and feeding life, becoming rain that quenches fire and thirst, renewing, refreshing, sustaining, gentling. #pour #mastoprompt

In his pilfered hooded robe, the rogue accepted a brimming goblet and followed his partner into the packed temple. The scent of incense was overpowering.

The priest ascended the dais and intoned, "Now let us #pour the blood libation."

"Blood?" the barbarian choked, flinging his empty goblet away.
