A session on the psychiatrist's couch
This story is part of the Vocal + Assist on Facebook Unreliable Narrator Challenge. You can learn more about it here: Hi Doc. Nice to meet you. I'm Lobo Weir. Thank you for squeezing me in so late. I would have preferred an earlier appointment but no matter. We've probably got enough time to complete the session before I have to leave.

Puck's Pleasure Powder. Content Warning.
"Cast a spell and watch it work; Jason is no more a jerk." "That's not a spell. That's just a rhyme," Jess whispered as Anna cast some shapes under the canopy of the gnarled oak, making the candle flames flicker and bend with the draft from her movements. Jess was feeling a little jittery by the whole being-out-in-nature-at-night thing, having never done it before, not even a camp when she was a younger girl. Even though this was her idea, she was hoping that it would end soon and she could just go home. TV and a bath with bubbles - that's what she wanted right now. She was starting to regret ever suggesting this.

Watch out!
Me, some skis, and speed - Watch out! A line of skiers Fall like dominoes. *** I love skiing but it is fair to say that I am a clumsy skier, lacking finesse and sometimes control but big on enthusiasm and when I can, I like to go fast. As long as my thighs aren't burning, I'm fine.

Time to Breathe
I've been doing a lot of deep thinking lately. I'm not usually prone to this. I tend to be an "acknowledge it and move on" type of girl, but lately, I've found myself returning more and more to my introspective self and asking myself a lot of questions.

Dear Poltergeist
I do like these unofficial challenges that we all set ourselves here on Vocal and I have enjoyed writing this piece for Heather Hubler's challenge, although I don't think that it meets its criteria really. However, I started it and felt compelled to continue it to the bitter end and so, here it is. My feeling is that I would like to share it in the hope that it will be read. I certainly enjoyed writing it.

The Small Stuff. Top Story - October 2023. Content Warning.
Grab a coffee (or tea) and a moment and have a read because this is a bit of a long one, which was unexpected. Come with me into the small stuff - the detritus of Life - as I speculate on why it's as important (if not more so) than the big stuff.
