Turnskin
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Cicadas whistled in the distance while screeching owls rang in the night like sirens.

Name Me King
The Great Hall is dim except for the fire glowing from the oil lamps. Knights and nobles woo dance as musicians play their flutes. Roasted mutton, fried venison, and meat pottage lay next to cooked fruits and vegetables on the long table. Patches the Fool makes goofy faces in tight pumpkin stripe breeches. Queen Chantelle wipes claret wine off her chin, nearly falling out of her chair with laughter. King Samuel is nowhere in sight, probably playing dice with the servants.

Bon Appetit Meat
I received some organs in the mail on Tuesday. Not the musical instruments, but the internal kind on health class posters. My organs worked just fine, so there was no reason for a donation.

The Missing Ingredient
In and Out Grocery is the only place that would hire me after The Incident. I work in the bakery department nestled between the kosher deli and seafood counter. The dead fish smell in the morning is pungent enough to make a fisherman seasick. It's freezing inside the store, so I wear winter boots and a Canada Goose jacket.

The Barn Dance
I figured a barn dance was like prom, but for cowboys. Unfortunately, my imagination wasn't far from reality. Everyone in this old barn is dressed like Joe Buck from Midnight Cowboy or Woody from Toy Story. But, at least my crewneck and skinny jeans made me stand out.
