Week 30 Winner

Stevie McCoy | @theglitterlady

Charles says: I love the vivid imagery of the landscape and the way I was drawn into the story.

“Tell me I’m not giving my life away for nothing.” Jayden paused looking up into Micha’s red-lined pupils solemnly. This wasn’t her idea of perfect vacation but she didn’t have much of a choice in the matter.

“I’ll tell you whatever you wish to hear.” Micha took her hand in his. Petting her hand with a soft thumb he proceeded to smile in opposition to his stone set face.

“Tell me, please.” Her insistence, she could tell, grated on Micha’s patience; his hand twitched trying to hold back the irritation from boiling over. Jayden was thankful, for a moment, at having her angelic powers bottled up; it meant she couldn’t feel his deep seeded anger and pain piercing at her human flesh.

“Your life isn’t ending only changing.” He led her further into what seemed like an endless desert.
“How long will I stay here?”

“Don’t be daft Jayden, this is your new home,” Jayden looked around at the red dirt and the steaming cracks creeping up the rocky walls, “This is the outskirts obviously we won’t be staying here; I plan on giving you the royal treatment.”

Jayden swallowed feeling the scratch in her throat from the dry air. It made her nervous the more being down here became and felt more real. This wasn’t a dream and the “royal treatment” probably didn’t mean massages and fluffy bunnies.

“Welcome to Hell, my sweet bird.”

Congratulations Stevie, Robin, Jeff, and Jason! Claim your badges and display them with pride. You certainly earned it! :) Please DM Charles for your copy of Circus Tarot.
