The day after the FCIS caught Tod at the border, Brit received a box with ‘My #Bequest’ written on it in blood. She opened the lid carefully and as she placed it on the table a fairy flew out and waved her wand at Brit who found herself encased within a glacier #vss365

At her grandmother's #bequest, she received a curious ornament of an old woman. The ornament looked a bit like her grandmother. The ornament grew each day until she was the size of her grandmother. The old woman couldn't speak but her eyes twinkled mischievously. #vss365 #writing #stories

As pet of the #bequest from some supposedly old acquaintance of Esme’s, Rory had one, tiny problem to solve. What the supposed acquaintance had left was, in fact, in a lair. A very dangerous lair, because there would be little point it being in a safe one. It was probably tat anyway. #vss365

The head of the noble house had left a substantial #bequest to a great number of family members, charitable institutions and servants. He was a good man, despite being of the nobility. Ilyna heard about it and knew where her next score would come from. The family didn’t need that money. #vss365

And with a puff of fairy dust, Tod, the Elfin King, disappeared. Brit was dumbfounded. Was that a confession? Did Tod kill those people? Did he even exist? The phone rang; a #reprieve from driving herself mad. ‘This is the FCIS, Folklore Creatures Investigation Service’ #vss365

It's been far too sunny for far too long. The plants in my garden look sad from the strain. I stand over them for a while, using my shadow to give them some #reprieve from the Sun. My neck begins to blister and my shoulders scorch raw, but I stay there, because I don't have anything else. #vss365

We slept in shifts at the wormhole. Noise for a month: radio signals, chatter, tongues that weren’t ours. Now the silence was a welcome #reprieve. We thought they’d gone. It wasn’t until after the attack that we learned they’d realized we could hear them and had just changed frequencies. #vss365
