《Under a Witches fingernails》5. A Chaotic mess
Advertisement
Half Drank coffee cups. Silk pj’s folded neatly on bedside corners, the smell of cinnamon.
Are all things that taunted aspens memories.
What would her mother think of her seeing her float around careless as a butterfly.
Aspen never understood why some people let everything bother them, people looking for reasons to be mad or upset. How exhausting she would think to herself when seeing an irregular and irrational rant on things that didn’t really matter. She taught herself to be this way. It definitely wasn’t her mother or her father that held this sense of calmness about them. Her mother was always one wrong word from screaming.
It was from the same self teaching that made her never confront problems with people in public she found it extremely disrespectful. She always promised herself that if she had a problem with someone it should be handled behind closed doors. She remembered how awful she would feel to get yelled at over something small Infront of many people growing up because her mother never had the self control to wait. And regardless of how her family function at a rapid and no apology rate. She still missed everything, even the bad parts
She had broken this promise when it came to Joseph and it made her feel awful.
She left this note in his mailbox
I’m sorry I said those things. I do care bout you. I shouldn’t have yelled at you Infront of your neighbors. -aspen
There was a fire in her chest and worry in her heart. There was a mountain of doubt in her mind. She never knew if she was making the right choice. She spend hours trying to justify her thoughts and then crossing them out and starting from scratch.
She constantly said sorry for things she should be.

The wind hitting her face while she was riding her broom home gave her comfort. She knew when she got home it would be okay.
When she came through her front door.
John sat on there couch.
“Hey I need to talk to you” he told her
“I don’t want it to make anything weird” he followed it up with.
“Go ahead” aspen told him
*oh brother* she thought to herself
“I’m in love with you” John told her with worry in his eyes. As soon as it left his mouth there was a knock on the door. She open it, it was Joseph.
She walked with him outside they argued bout everything that bothered him and her too. All John could hear aspen yelling don’t try to make me feel like that and on and on. She would walk in side to apologize that she couldn’t give John the attention that he deserved but an hour in to the chaos. She looked at both of them apologized and left. She flew straight to edens.
Eden layed on her bed shooting paper airplanes at her ceiling. Aspen floated to edens bedroom window. Eden opened the window.
“Come on in puddin” Eden told her
“You’ll never believe what’s going on, I got thing one and thing two sitting before me and instead of naming things, they are fuck one and fuck two I am so made, I can only deal with one fuckery at a time Eden” aspen started ranting.
Out of a sea of ranting Eden stop her.
“Those son-of-bitches!” Eden yelled and they both started laughing.
aspen thought it might be best to stay with her a few weeks and maybe even get ahead start on more important things, like the grapes of paradise. Which Eden pulled out of her bedside table.
"there are side effects, like being dizzy and a sedative feeling the first time you take them so only take one to get used to it, okay?"

Longshots
Superpowers ... without capes. A man produces narcotic gas in his lungs, a woman turns into a wall of corrosive flesh. One girl creates tiny stinging 'mayflies' while another is assaulted by the emotions of anyone she touches. After the mysterious 'Seventeen Seconds' sweeps the globe, a handful of people develop extraordinary abilities. Rachel's father is one of them--and that's why she shoots him. But four years after she's charged with his murder, he reappears. He's rich. He's connected. And he's plotting to destroy a city. To stop him, Rachel enlists the help of Lark Larson, an easygoing slacker with bizarre abilities of his own. She doesn't have any powers herself, except for her unflinching willingness to put herself on the line. As far as Lark can tell, that's more than enough.
8 70Hugh Johnson and the Seven Evil Alts
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Hugh Johnson was having a bad day. First there was the stupid long line to get into Comiket, then Truck-kun smashed him into paste, a lolii-goddess who punched him into another world, and finally, a wolf that decided to snack on him. And that was just the last 15 minutes. Now he needs to save Eternasy from the Seven Evil Alternate characters he created while playing Endless Fantasy before they destroy the world. Who knew that your actions in a game would have real-world consequences? Join Hugh as he takes on his first Evil Alt and journeys to the Lair of Daemon Wyrm. Hugh Johnson and the Seven Evil Alts will contain tropes familiar to readers of Japanese isekai light novels - a humorous progression fantasy with slice of life scenes, cute girls, burley men, dungeons, magic, and mayhem. Be warned that the MC is not a clueless weeb who has no idea how women or the world works. Expect this to read like hot garbage, and you will not be disappointed. I never expected to toss it into the Writeathon, but I have poor impulse control, so here we are.
