The prompt was universal.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged..."
"No, stop right there. As soon as you start that highfalutin, passive-intoning crap, I’m thinking Austen. You’re not cool enough to pull off perfumed sarcasm wrapped in velvet gloves, Drake. You’re gonna have to say it another way."
"Oh yeah? And how would you say it, Miss Literature?"
"I have no idea. I don’t know what you’re getting at yet."
"Fuck you, Dee. It’s a thing, right? Love’s the most dangerous currency. Universal to all."
"Universal to all means open to all, Drake. Nobody’s gonna snap you up—not while you’re talking like that, anyway. Eh!"
"Alright, shithead. I’ll rephrase it for you this one time. Complain again, and it’s insubordination. Everybody knows one thing: love will fuck you up worse than any blade. And we all want it anyway. Good enough?"
"Aye, Drake, aye. You’re cute when you’re all snippy, you know that?"

What use have I of wings if not to fly to you #PhoenixFlareWeek
I lost a ghost to gain a man. Would that I could have spoken of those years the moment you reappeared, about the shadow of you that walked in my wake as memories trail thoughts, intangible pieces of things that weren’t meant to be, and yet, there you stood. And all around us, the world plays at war to feed appetites that cannot be sated. Power turns good men blind, and greed empties the coffers of goodwill, but miracles persist, as do you. A promise then, forever shall I keep, and a heart that burned long before this world ever did.

The prompt was underbelly. I don't know why the accountants are in the firing line today. But they are.
The city doesn’t forgive. He always thought he controlled it, wielding numbers like weapons, pulling strings from his slick glass tower. But the streets had their own hunger. Cracks rippled through the alleys, an underbelly of malice gnawing at the edges of his neat little world.  It waited, patient and hungry, for its next move. 
The accountant, sweating in his crisp suit, tried harder to straighten the lines, but the numbers twisted, boiled, refusing to be tamed. The filth crept upward, into the clean glass of his tower, his pristine suit becoming a shroud.
"Checkmate." 
That was the last thing he heard before his tower crumbled, the city pulling him into the abyss, a mass of hungry cloud swallowing him whole.

The #VSS365 prompt was #Trace - and I'm starting to hear the siren call of folk horror again.
The first time the floorboards sang, I thought it was mice. 
But the song was in my voice.
They say witches burn clean. That’s a lie. Ours left teeth in 
the hearth and a shadow in the nursery.
My grandmother painted over the sigils and scrubbed the 
blood from the walls. My mother planted roses over her grave.
And me? I started humming the tune in my sleep.
Then my daughter saw. 
"Mama," she whispered, staring at the floor. "Why does the 
corner smell like iron?"
I pressed her face to my chest, kissed her hair, and told her 
it was the damp.
But I felt it, too. Her. The scent, like old smoke. It clung to
 the floorboards, to my skin, to my blood. It wasn’t just the house; 
it was me.
Every night since I came back to this place, I felt her watching. 
The floorboards creak as if something’s moving beneath them. 
And I know it’s not rats.
I hear her song. A lullaby.
“The witch is never gone,” I said. “She’s always in the soil.”
But last night, when I closed my eyes, I saw her standing in 
the kitchen, hands outstretched, glowing with green flame.
She smiled. And I knew her.
She was my mother. She was me.
She’s waiting. She’s still waiting, buried deep in the roses. 
She’s coming for me.
And I can’t stop humming. The trace of her sings. in my skin.
