Evelyn reached into her pocket and found the ring: smooth and black, cold to the touch, and heavy in the hand. "You left this on the pyre at my mother's funeral. Why?"
"A debt was owed. Your mother died before I could repay it."
"So you gave her this?"
"That's right. My most precious belonging."
"What is it?"
"A binding ring. Used by faeries in their weddings. It allows the wearer to travel between our world and the lands of the fairy courts."
Evelyn felt the weight of it. She didn't know such a thing existed. "How did you get it?"
"It was given to me by the Prince-in-Spring--long ago when I was young and beautiful and full of bad ideas."
"You met the Prince-in-Spring?"
"Met him and married him. In the manner of the woods."
"He didn't skin you?"
"No. Not Salamandra Hedge. Too clever for any man, immortal or otherwise. I am Skraefolk--like you--chosen by the stars. The stars wanted a story from me, so I gave them one."
"Tell me your story!" Evelyn begged, edging closer. Salamandra Hedge grinned slyly in her direction. The old woman's milk-white eyes, blind as they were, brimmed with laughter.
"You want to know about how I came to marry the Prince-in-Spring?"
"Of course!"
"And what will you give me."
Evelyn did not hesitate. "The most precious thing of all."
Salamandra Hedge clucked her tongue. "Most precious, eh? And what is that?"
"Time."
The blind seer flashed a crooked, toothless smile. "Ahh--a good and clever girl. You are Skraefolk, aren't you? That was the very deal I made so long ago--traveling with a caravan on the Ostern Road. I lived as a boy then, and made my living as a scout in the service of the merchant legion."
Evelyn regarded her with some skepticism. "You were a boy?"
"Mm. A disguise--nothing more. You cannot always tell with people."
"What happened?"
The old woman laughed. "Youth. Lust. I caught the eye of two men traveling with the caravan. Tomas, a merchant prince, soft and sweet and smart as could be--and Asmer, an older man--a falcon handler, with tough, strong hands and a thirst for danger."
"You loved them both?"
"I loved the attention. Loved to be chased. I was raised to be a hunter; it was nice to be hunted. Of course, I think that was what called the faerie prince to us. Deep in his barrows he smelled love thickening the air--and because the Prince-in-Spring cannot resist competition, he joined the hunt." -
-- America’s Mouth Is Full of Blood --
Metal scrapes enamel. That specific sound teeth make when hygienist finds the tender spot. My mouth stretched wide by latex fingers and chrome instruments. Can’t speak. Can’t swallow. Can’t look away from the ceiling TV where CNN scrolls red banners about political assassination.
“Just a little pressure here,” she says, digging deeper.
Minnesota lawmaker dead. Husband dead. Second lawmaker critical.
The suction tube gurgles pink water. Taste of iron and mint. My tongue trapped under dental dam while democracy bleeds out on mute television. Perfect fucking symmetry.
Phone in pocket buzzes against hip bone. Can’t check it. Hands gripping armrests like I’m falling out of a republic.
“You’ve got some buildup on the lower incisors,” hygienist continues, oblivious or indifferent to the news crawl. “Have you been flossing?”
Assassination at 2 AM. Man dressed as cop. AK-style weapons. The details drip into consciousness like novocaine, numbing everything they touch. I try to nod about flossing but the tools prevent movement. Democracy’s molars crumble while I can’t even close my jaw.
Melissa Hortman. Dead at scene. Multiple gunshot wounds.
The overhead light burns retinal afterimages. Hygienist hums something unrecognizable. Country music or hymn or both. Her gloved fingers taste like institutional latex, that specific medical flavor of enforced vulnerability. I breathe through my nose. Count ceiling tiles. Try not to think about how this same helplessness scales up to continental collapse.

If the person has truly transitioned and is portrayed that way, it is not perpetuating the "trap" trope. To avoid confusion, that person should not be involved in fraud or other scams. Try to seduce or make sexual advances on the POV character, unless they have cleared the air.
Instead, this is a normalizing statement that says, "You never know who might be trans."
If it matters, I am trans, so that is one data point on the trans side. I do not speak for the community, however.

-- Constitutional Spitroast --
The legal language glows on my laptop. Bloodless. Technical. “The Secretary of Defense may determine those military activities that are reasonably necessary and appropriate.”
Reasonable…
Appropriate…
Words still dressed in their Sunday best while weekend passes expired for constitutional separation of powers.
Weather alert flashes. Storm warnings. Barometric collapse. Democracy depression incoming from the southwest. Pressure dropping inside my skull in time with atmospheric systems.
Trump’s order hands federal land to the military. Creates “military installations” on US territory. Gives Pentagon jurisdiction over American soil with rules of engagement drafted by generals, not legislators. Legal document reads like necropsy report for republic that died without anyone noticing. Constitution didn’t flatline dramatically. Just got quietly rewritten in bureaucrat-ese while Americans argued about gas prices.

-
Out now on Amazon - a bloody little number about a pirate crew trapped under the wrong stars, desperate to find a way home--even if it means crossing a witch, cutting a deal with the fae, and facing off against a monster slumbering in the depths of the sea.
A devil's blend of dark fantasy and cosmic horror, with a dash of Moby Dick for good measure.
$5 print, $1 on Kindle (free with KDP Select)
I would be endlessly grateful for honest reviews!

what's normal never worked
(in fact it nearly ended me)
Gonzo was my Muppet
with his chickens and his schemesnow I bleed the silver thread
the third door, madness beyond
a liminal space between worlds
spread before me like a feasto' gods I ate the apple--
and o' it tasted sweet--
the faeries have their hooks in me
and I shall never want to leavewhat's normal never worked
those were someone else's dreams
but I've found something better
dwelling deep, eternal, inside me -

First post on this new instance:
I've written another 1000 words of Ghostkin 2. I think this chapter (chapter four) is going to come in shorter than the previous three because I have a specific end point in mind for it and don't think I'll be able to stretch the narrative out enough. But that's okay. I have no doubt that I'll make it up in future chapters.
