“Oh, no,” murmured Lady Natasha Rambovalina. “Here she comes.” For a woman who was nearly as wide as she was tall, Tata Sous-sus was amazingly fast and lithe on her feet.

She named it Faun,Continue reading “Ragtag Daily Prompt: Lick”
Ragtag Daily Prompt: Drive
GarGar found himself standing in the middle of a long, darkened hallway. It was so long and so dark that he could discern the end of it. He turned around. Suddenly he was no longer standing in the hallway. In fact, he wasn’t standing at all. He was on horseback. Surrounded by a fog onContinue reading “Ragtag Daily Prompt: Drive”
