you think its been empty for so long?” Elizabeth glared over at her brother. “Eddie, stop scaring us. It’s not funny.” Eddie snatched up a cookie and slid out of the chair. “I’m not trying to scare anybody, I thought you would want to know. I’d want to know if my house was haunted.” “Well,” Ophelia said, as she scooted out of her chair, “I haven’t seen any ghost.

Deep down I know I don’t want to get my hair done, I only want Shreevy, my husband, to look at me once again the way he did in high school. He never looks me up and down and wonders how he got so lucky, or why I stay with him. Shreevy never tells me I’m pretty anymore even though I still do my hair and dress the way he likes me too. My hair is always curled in a way that frames my face, my makeup…

The twinkling firelight bounces off the dull tin outside of mugs. Loud, drunk laughter fills the air as I serve more mead among the tavern's occupants. Tonight every seat is taken, yet more people pour in from the dark doorway. This is never good. The town's men have a habit of retreating to Rosaline's Tavern and Inn when they fail once again.
