#Halloween was her favorite night-the only time ANYONE came to her home. She waited anxiously for nightfall. She watched, excitedly, as the first group of kids ran to her door. They inched it open, saw her, then ran away screaming. She sighed, wishing ghosts could go out and buy candy. #vss365

Obviously Migs wrote this 🤦‍♀️😅, but really, it’s sad to see the end of an era. I think we’ve been doing Vsspic since 2020 maybe? Thanks for all the stories over the years, and for letting us be a part of your writing journey. Keep telling beautiful stories!

Two cops knocked on the door, she invited them inside. “Someone’s been murdered, your husband’s car was seen nearby. Do you know where he was on the 15th of July?” “Of course I do, officers, we were #together that whole night.” He kissed her as they drove away, his forever alibi. #vss365

Grandma always said the ladies in our family were cursed with #susurrus; they could hear the whispers of the dead. I never believed her. Until, one day I heard my little girl talking in the other room. She was alone. "Who are you talking to?” "Grandmama, she says she told you so." #vss365

The setting sun tonight is the brightest red I think I’ve ever seen. I tried to capture it with my iPhone and it turned out super realistic as usual lolllll, but still kind of cool

In case anyone has ever wondered how what bee eggs look like (and I mean, who hasn’t, right 😆😅), zoom in…they are like teeny tiny pieces of rice 😃

She knocked on the door, holding cookies. “Can I help you?” an older woman asked. “Yes, #someone helped me the other night when my car broke down. He said he lived here and I wanted to thank him. His name is Jim.” The woman went white. “Jim did live here, but he died 8 years ago.” #vss365

I need air. I #stop at the gas station, fill the tire up, and run in for a coffee. I get back in my car and crank the radio. I drive off, oblivious to the gas station attendant chasing me, yelling that someone was in my backseat. Now, everything is black. And I need air. #vss365

She lay next to her new husband, perfectly content. She watched his slow breaths, so peaceful, and just knew this one would work out. He was different than all the rest, the ones whose ring fingers she keeps in a box by the mattress #spring. This time, was really forever. Probably. #vss365

“I see a #vision of you and a blonde man. You’re married with kids. His name starts with a T”. “Tom! You think I should give him another chance?” “I do.” The client ran out the door, then Tom stepped out and handed her $100. She doesn’t have her mama’s gift, but she does have a Porsche. #vss365

I once knew a guy whose #marrow was made of lies. Every time he opened his mouth, out another one would fly. #vss365

Mia had developed a strange rep, now women came daily for her help. Mia listened, filling their glasses. The woman wiped tears; the man swore Ann meant nothing and it was over. The woman went to the restroom; Mia followed. “Well?” “He liked Ann’s pic as soon as you left the table.” #vsspic

For the five years of their marriage, his wife had wanted a dog. He sat, in the parking lot of her work with the corgi, waiting to surprise her for her birthday. He tried to quiet its #whimper and climbed out of the car when he saw her. He froze as he watched her kiss her coworker, Tom. #vss365

He ran the tables, chugging whiskey. He stumbled home; she was gone. For the 1st time ever, he cried. He ran the tables, chugging whiskey. He stumbled home; she was gone. He cried. “This is all you’re gonna do to this guy?” one demon asked another. He shrugged. “This is hell for him.” #vsspic

It’d been a year since she moved into town and opened a bakery. She was amazed at how well she’d built her #brand. She was taking a tray of cookies from the oven when she heard a familiar voice: “Yum. Just like my wife used to make. She dropped the tray. “What? Didn’t think I’d find you?” #vss365

It had taken decades of research and testing, but her #conversion was nearly complete. She’d agreed to be the 1st human trial; it was the reason she’d become a scientist. She swallowed the pill, then dove into the water, a shiny blue tail in the place where her legs used to be. #vss365

The poor kids got #free tickets to the circus. Her dad took her, and his flask. Mesmerized, she snuck into a tent where the women removed feathers and sequins. They turned, saw her, and the purple bruises on her arms. “Wanna come with us?” “But what would I be?” “Anything you want.” #vss365

“Ok, open your eyes. This is what I’ve been wanting to tell you.” “What’s this?” “A portal. I’m not from here. Please, go back with me. I know it’s crazy...” “Are you freaking kidding me?! ANOTHER ALIEN! Ugh!” “Where’re you going?” “Home! And I’ll never use a dating #website again!” #vss365

Since the crash, she sits by the grave each day. Others came too, at first. They’d bring flowers and talk with her. Eventually though, their lives returned to normal. Now she sits alone, tracing her name on the stone, hoping they’ll remember her and #return. #vss365

She stopped at the checkpoint, “What’s up, officer?” “Missing 2 year old girl, you seen her?”; he showed a pic. “No, sorry. Looks like my son’s age,” she nodded to him sleeping in the back. Her #plan -the clothes and short haircut-worked. She smiled as she drove away-finally a mother. #vss365

She always thought that evil people were a #product of their environments. Her thoughts on that have changed recently. An hour ago, she and her daughter were eating warm cookies and coloring together. Now, she’s burying the family cat-the second one their daughter has killed in a year. #vss365

“You are our 1 millionth #customer!” a man said. Another filmed. Everyone cheered. “You’ve won a surprise vacation but we have to go now!” “Ok!” She said. She removed the blindfold as the car stopped-an abandoned warehouse. The driver smiled at her. “You shouldn’t go with strangers.” #vss365

Her boutique was thriving thanks to clever #marketing. Quirky chattering teeth in the front windows lured people inside. Sales were better than ever. And the best part? No one suspected that they were human teeth. Her trophies, fitted into the toys, were now lovingly on display. #vss365 #vsspic

Third shift in the morgue was usually full of idle #time, but tonight had been busy. “I didn’t think we’d ever catch up,” Tom said, joining Joe at a table in the hospital cafe. A man in a hospital gown walked by and Joe’s face went white. “You know him?” “I just did his autopsy.” #vss365

The young maid had captivated the King instantly. Within weeks, over outrage, their marriage was arranged. That night in his chambers, he asked her heart’s #desire, said he’d give her anything. She kissed him, then slid a blade between his ribs. “Your kingdom,” she whispered. #vss365 #hbp150
