vsshorror/horrorprompt:

The site of the infection #radiated a searing heat & Glenn snatched his hand away with a yelp. He was about to make an unfavorable diagnosis when the barbed tentacles pushed open the wound & the squid-like head pushed its way through the putrefied flesh.#horrorprompt #vsshorror pic.twitter.com/cX7k8G5Ktq

#vssHauntedHouse:

At the door at the end a long hall, the stained walls seemed to #whisper & wallpaper undulated w/ insectile movement. Stains from the ceiling grew sickly grey & brown fingers, stretching downwards to grasp at her.

Valery hesitated, her hand on the doorknob.#vssHauntedHouse pic.twitter.com/0OsWbG8uU8

vss365:

"I am no #mage," he told her as he wandered towards the place where forest became shadows or, perhaps, shadows became forest.

Sensing four words would not be enough, he sighed. "I only notice what others overlook. That is not magic."

She remained unconvinced.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/Uu7THGKT0C

vsshorror/horrorprompt:

I fell to my knees, exhausted and #chill-ed to the bone. Snow painted in the blood of the day's dying sun reminded me of the scene back at the cabin.

Had that not given me strength, the rasping breathing of the wendigo on my trail was incentive enough.#horrorprompt #vsshorror https://t.co/f5FbBjmVrX

song river flows under
over stones smooth river flow
pools crystal fish swim water
these hands you me together
dragonfly light wind feather
hover over river flowing under
these songs babble water

For #Wordsofglass (new):

you closed

For VSS365:

I pushed my #glasses up higher on the bridge of my nose and made tsk-tsk noises.

"You'll need far more lye if you expect me to clean up this mess," I told him.

The 'accidental death by strangulation' in the bathtub was far too big for the volume of lye he'd purchased.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/jMflKM2Rrw

Everything was a mess since he tried to alter his own thread in the web of fate. Now he wished with all of his heart he hadn't touched the damn thing. It was a big #snarl & the old gal just watched while he made it worse, chuckling at his inept attempts to mend it.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/OipEgWGlFo

Is it really worth the risk? I have a hard time believing he'll #flip & come to our side. Chances are he'll turn on us.

Even werewolves will turn on the pack if treated like Gary has been. All the vamps need to do is be supportive to ensure his loyalty. He'll flip.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/LoFBSkqnrc

I may try to move onto other prompts over the next few weeks. Maybe just to change my thinking thematically, or maybe for other reasons. I’m not sure what my motivation is 100%. My brain is a bit fogged with the arthritic pain combined with the pain of a frozen shoulder.

The teakettle did its #whistle thing, momentarily pulling him out of his morning fugue — just long enough to pour the hot water into the teapot. When he returned from putting it back on the stovetop, he sat down & got lost once again in a storm of arthritis & ennui.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/Gh6SUCKijf

Crowcalls:

he feared his
dream of breaking free
the #chrysalis of

the killing jar with its
pins and needles
in tow#Crowcalls @QuillandCrow

Why are you annoyed? I thought asked someone to get you some djinn? Here he is, three wishes intact!

You didn't listen very well. I said: I wish someone would get me some #gin and tonic.

*poof*

TWO WISHES REMAIN, MASTER.

*sigh* Can we start over.

NO DO-OVERS, SORRY.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/oSVysik72n
