"Is this a good idea? The witch said to cease hunting..."
"Witch! I remember giving Sam bakerolls for school lunch! And no creature can resist my signature bait..."
"Mike?...", Jake turned him around. A fiend stood right behind them
"We might need a bigger #deadfall..."

Lily watched Sam preparing for the school play. She skipped parents' days ever since she lost her #mother. She came today though, weirdly quiet.
Then she saw the three witches training Sam taking their places in the audience.
She couldn't help smiling a little.

"Sam. Sam!" Lily poked her friend
"Wha... Is it over?"
"Yeah. You slept through half the movie!"
"Eh, it was boring"
""It's the highest ranked #horror!"
"Not much scares you when you study to be a witch. Especially when your mentor is Margaret," she shuddered

Hello, Little One.
The cat looked at the hooded figure
It Is Time For...
The cat weaved through his legs
No... Do Not Do That...
It sat in front of it.
Listen Here, Death picked the cat up.
"Meow"
Fine... But Do Not Tell Anyone. If Other Raiders Saw Me #Cradle You...

"What you doing?" Bob drifted towards Gary
"I'm thinking of a name for the ship! It needs to be a good one, if its to be #evermore known as the vessel of the greatest merc in the Known Universe!"
"Hm. How about a Piece of Junk? That's the one I hear the most!"

Sam pushed through to the counter.
"Excuse me. That bun is cold"
"New regulation. No heated food in the shop. Next!"
Sam glared at the clerk angrily.
"I will not stand for the #falling standards of this school", she hissed putting the bun down. It was burnt to a crisp.

The whole neghborhood watched as the night sky exploded in the cacophony of colours, sygnaling the end of The Second Space War with the #victory of mankind. Whatever the military came up with, it worked.
Gary slowly returned home.
It also meant grandpa wasn't coming back
#vss365
It was simple once Leon realised it. Every time they were on the case. Every oddity they faced, ghosts they chased, stories they followed, was like a #gamble if they'll come back home this time.
That thrill was making Frank feel alive.
And, oh so similar to his dad.
#vss365
"You look like you didn't sleep"
"...I didn't," Sam yawned. "You said we'll go to the witches' gathering..."
"And?"
"I thought it's at night..."
"Oh? What, you expected dancing naked at #midnight?" Margaret scoffed.
"No chance", Agatha giggled. "We need our beauty sleep"
#vss365
Frank looked around the room. Row of screens, a few server racks, numerous keyboards, all connected in spaghetti of wires spread across the floor.
"It's all..."
"Advanced? Modern? The fact that I'm an old god doesn't mean I'm #primitive" Svetovid scoffed
#vss365
"Gary?"
"Liz?", Gary perked up and approached the bars.
"Of all the wretched bastards to see you caught...", she laughed. "What a #wondrous sight..."
Gary grinned widely.
"That wasn't a compliment", she scoffed.
#vss365
"We're entering the deep forest?" Sam looked at the signs.
"Scared?", Agatha poked her
"What's up there?"
"Faeries, leshys, every #remnant of old you can think of..."
"I heard people shouldn't go there"
"People, yes. But we're witches!" she grinned. "We'll be fine!"
#vss365
"It's for your own good," Bob tied Gary and Jack to the chairs.
"The hell you're on about!"
"You think I don't see this growing #rift between you since the last job? It breaks my heart!" the droid checked the ropes. "So, you kids will sit here until you make up!"
#vss365
"What is wrong with this place!", Gary took another wobbly step.
"It's the #gravity!" Bob twirled around him. "Twice as strong as on Earth!"
"Why aren't you affected?!"
"I can adjust my antigravs however I please!"
Gary looked at the droid pleadingly
"Let me ride you!"
#vss365
Lily watched Sam gesturing through the window. Walking? House? River?
Lily shook her head. There was no way she could understand her frantic waving. She sighed. Whatever she tried to #signal, will have to wait after the math test. Which she'll scold her about not taking.
#vss365
"Can anyone tell me what am I looking at?", Gary stared at the screen.
Bob joined him. "That's a very nice #crevasse!"
Gary looked at him.
"You know, a crack? Like in ice! Or stone or..."
"You call this a crack?"
"Well, it is quite huge"
"It cuts the planet in half!"
#vss365
Frank was reluctantly helping his dad prepare the place for the guest. Dad called it a check on them, though sometimes he either pointed at himself or Frank. Sometimes he called it a family reunion.
Frank, whenever he thought of his aunt's visit, called it #Judgement Day.
#vss365
"What in the seven hells is that?", Jack looked at the huge package.
"It's a VR set!", Gary announced excitedly.
"#Immerse yourself in virtual reality and experience unforgettable adventures..." he read the flyer. "What would you use it for?"
"...games and... stuff?"
#vss365
"I don't know what's wrong with them", Sam scoffed as they walked to the school canteen. "Every teacher has something against me!"
"And you didn't think to #tether their attitude to your sarcastic behaviour?", Lily glanced at her
"Please, I was behaving... For a day!"
#vss365
"Frank? Who is that?"
"That's Bob"
"Bob?"
"Yeah. Don't mind him, he'll just disappear on his own"
"Another ghost haunting this flat?"
"Yeah. He's harmless. He never even stares at you. Maybe he's shy. Though I did sleep on the couch when he used to #linger in my bedroom"
