And the dreams, of course. The dreams will linger. Of that place, of those lives. Always looking for a way out.
What signs hint that ghosts still linger?

Tybalt laughs. “And what? Make them sing a song? Perhaps it’s time you left, wolf.”
A tense silence. The door slams.
Rushed words between the wizards—the door opens, closes again. Hawthorn gently grasps Ezra’s hand as they wait.
Tybalt opens the hatch. “We have a complication.”

The necklace didn’t sit well at her throat, tightening over time until she couldn’t speak—which is when he approached.
“Bold of you,” said Alder Argentine, “to steal #jewelry from a wizard. You never know what may be cursed.”
Lightheaded, she realized: Dez had framed her.

“How #magnanimous of you, to let Raven take first place.”
“Not really. It’s custom for the wizard who wins the Lovelace Trial to marry the Royal Heir.”
“You don’t care for the Crown Prince, Lizzie?”
“I care more for my research. Maybe if it was the Crown Princess…”

The android finds the mechanic’s hands fascinating. Callused and rough, nicks and scrapes covered by band-aids, #grease under their fingernails, #grime worked into each line and crease. The imperfections tell a story.
It, by turn, so smooth and clean. Optimized. Boring.

“Fools, both of you, to keep a monster so close.”
Tybalt scoffs.
The stranger snarls, “I’ve done nothing to set you mages on me and mine—thought I’d do you lot a favor, slay it before it sucks the town dry.” A barking laugh. “At least show it to me—prove you can control it.”

They lined us up, cheerfully asking for volunteers. None of us moved; we’d seen what happened to the first batch of #test_subjects.
So they shot Mercy. She didn’t die quickly.
They asked for volunteers. Aimed the gun at the youngest.
Xin raised his hand. So did I.

Liam had bad dreams after the car crash. They told him he’d crashed into a tree, but he remembered another vehicle, sleek and silver and—alien.
“The pilot,” he told me today. “They’re #experimenting on it. It’s talking to me—telepathically. We have to save it.”
#FastPrompt 227
#First_contact visited a select few, in their dreams. Hollow beings whispering, “Do not trust them. They will mimic your angels. They will bring you something akin to Hell.”
Second contact: they were so beautiful. They were so much worse than what was foretold…
#FastPrompt 227
When the alien scouting ship #landed in our cornfield, Gran went out with a shotgun. Cussed out the tall, armored, heavily armed being who slithered out. Fired a warning shot.
The ship took off.
When the fleet descended, they asked to speak to “the warrior queen.”
