...their walls had #fractured. With rumors of an army approaching, Mandy had taken the risk of one expecting death. She'd never expected Annie to return her affections. Her chest tightened. Now that death had given reprieve, what life would Annie choose? #7daystory #A #vss365
Ensign Chuck - supporting great indie authors@EnsignPyro

Music filled the air. Fireworks exploded. Armistice! The #truce had been signed. The war was over. Or was it? For far too many the thinking was an inch deep. For two teenaged women in love there were greater battles ahead. For now, though... #7daystory #A #vss365 @cfreili

Gavin never wanted to be an actor, playing gods and peasants, while the #aristocrats jeered or made passes. But tonight, he smiled as he entered the theatre. Nearly chuckled as he donned the costume for his latest role. Tonight, he'd really give them a show. #7daystory #B #vss365

"We did our best to remove only the affected material, but we couldn't save much." As he spoke, I stole a glance at my reflection. I looked more like a pork #chop than anyone I recognized. Most of me filled with panic, but a small part saw an opportunity. #7daystory #B #vss365

One of them stepped forward, "Mrs Jones, I'm Dr. Smith, I'm afraid a blood test found complications in your blood due to past Botox injections, the fluid has caused an infection, you will need reconstructive surgery on your face". 😱 #7daystory #vss365 @cfreili you're next ✍🏻

@probookedits I think it's important to make an author page and make sure that your book page is correct, but I haven't found it time effective to do much beyond that for marketing

Honest question: Does putting your book on Goodreads actually help you sell books in the long run? Thanks in advance! #WritingCommmunity

This is what she got for asking a tree sprite to find her a suitor. "In spite of my lack of affection, I bear the heavy #load of continuing my family line..." How could she possibly refuse? Fuming, she tapped on the knot that served as the sprite's door. #7daystory #vss365

Helena bolted out of her house, but not before catching a glimpse of herself in a window. A #specter! she thought. But then, how else could she look after such a proposal? She marched towards her favorite cherry tree, twisting and turning. Damn this corset! #7daystory #A #vss365

Still, she hadn't yet reached her peak, hadn't completed the ultimate #heist: Stealing her adversary's daughter from the enemy side. A few convenient run-ins and a "lost" wallet had scored her a coffee date. Now to choose-and time-her words carefully... #7daystory #B #vss365
Eurydice_Waiting@Eurydiceabove

The glass ceiling sparkled like diamonds at her feet but neither diamonds nor power impressed her now. She’d had both, then walked away from it all that day in March. Now she was devoted to tearing down what she used to admire. Her life lived as a #protest and reproach. #vss365

"After consuming, don't #fandango." The warning meant nothing to one unaware of the princess's plan: She'd prepared a special dance for her father's birthday feast. Nothing seemed wrong as the music started, but six moves in, her skin started to change... #7daystory #D #vss365

He looked at his four fire pokers dangling from its stand and took his favourite one with the #dragonfly pendant to stoke the fire. Grumpling to himself he scrumpled the paper and threw it into the fire, watching it curl in the heat and turn into ash #7daystory #vss365 @cfreili

Pain stabbed Mac's head as Judy yanked out a strand of hair. "This is as good for DNA as blood," she hissed. Now he understood her #wrath, and why she agreed to the revival in spite of it. She still thought he'd caused Deb's death. That her baby was his... #7daystory #C #vss365

"Damn you Judy to hells #abyss!" He tackled the knife from her hand and burst into song for the next part of the rehearsal, their teacher clapped upon the ending of the plays revival #7daystory #vss365 @cfreili

Her darker side #beckoned, reminding Violet of who she'd been before she'd run. If they wanted that back so bad, they could have it. At least until she made it safely to Nana's. Fangs and claws regrowing, she shoved herself free. #7daystory #vss365
J.R. Bournville@JRBournville

Falling into a gully with his weight on her and only the hard ground below, she knew it'd be #futile to struggle. "Pick the fights you can win, child." Nana's advice from years ago echoes in her heart. "Aren't you inviting me in?" she asks with a wolfish smile. #vss365 #7DayStory

"Come Resurrect the Tradition!" Shari blinked at the invitation's gold lettering, nearly dropping it. It had to be a mistake, but the #language was clear. Thursday. Sunset. The family barn. No return address, just a smiley like her dead sister used to draw #7daystory #B #vss365

She wanted to wear the familiar smile as a blanket. Her mother's voice hushed her questions. "No time, love. Read the recipe again, looking beyond the #spirit of the thing. I've left you a message." Her words faded out as the world around swirled. #7daystory #A #vss365

Lu felt a moment of panic that she was going to be #fodder for this strange spirit until a smell of Indian pudding engulfed her and the hand gently released her to the ground. Mother? #7DayStory #A #vss365
