When the young woman asked Agnes to try her herbal tea she was hesitant at first but later relented and glad she did so. A full bodied steeping for ten minutes she found quite cathartic. The years sloughed away, her skin changed to the vitality of youth. It felt and tasted wonderful...

There are two types of power. Absolute and #Unbridled. I could rein in the second using the court system, even if slow and ponderous. But absolute? That required a more permanent solution. Standing behind him, I aimed just below his crown

Nothing in his #bloodline said he was courageous, yet here he was. Stepping out of the house he heard the leathery flapping of wings. Whatever it was, it was high up in the branches beyond the reach of his torch. The growl when it came was threatening. He steeled himself. Would it attack?

Well! That didn't take long. I only left her alone a few minutes to pick some flowers.

A mere word. A touch. A glance. All the myriad ways she could #disarm me. A captive to her charms, a prisoner without chains, seduced by the idea of her.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it only seemed right to do a love-themed pic this week….well, sort of…😬😅

Write a VSS or poem about the image and don’t forget to include the pic and #vsspic in your post.

Happy writing!

She moved through the town like a #cyclone, intent on confronting him with his lies. Sadly when she arrived at his door she found herself out of wind.

They tell me I was born under a wandering star. True enough. I had lived my life that way, never settled in one place for long. Then she appeared. Became the #nexus of my universe. I wouldn't have it any other way. #vss365

Scented candles, water just the right temperature, bath salts, champagne flutes and dimmed lighting.A perfect ending as we settled into the #bathtub. I felt it coming, nothing I could do. Burrumph. The bubbles stank. "Jezzus, Jack. You're a mood killer." Plug was pulled.

A warrior made of #oak. Battles fought and won except the match he chose to lose. The damsel who stole his heart ten years ago today. She now lies white and silent, stripped of the warmth he loved. Oak is but wood and his life now burnt and charred.

Naked, defenseless, standing defiant at what towers over him. He wishes fervently that he could #conjure up some kind of weapon. Not to be. All the poor soul has is bare hands. When the mythology of this day is written, they will call him a hero.

He never felt the #needle. Nothing more than a painless prick really. I watched him walk on, then stagger before crumpling to the pavement. It would be several days until they discovered it was a lethal toxin killing him. Mission accomplished. Payment incoming. I smiled.

I watch as a #flush rises in her cheeks, also noting the anger tightening at the corner of her mouth. "Oh! Sorry." I gush. Apology not accepted, I beat a hasty retreat. I'm not drunk. How the heck did I mistake the "Ladies" for the "Gents."

To blush, redden, scare, startle. It also means to smooth and align or cleanse. A feeling of wealth and the strongest hand you can make in a poker game.

Today's #vss365 #Prompt is #flush

Abigail had no idea why this woman wanted her to do her hair. Last time she had been totally abusive. This was her chance to wipe that #unctuous look off her face. She turned and swapped the comb for garden shears. The ensuing screams became deafening.

He wears his disguise like a #fawn hides in the underbrush. Concealed cruelty only shows in the sunlight when the camouflage is stripped away. Do not look for timidity in his countenance. He's not Bambi.

Opening the door, her lungs #pucker. The air in the house is laden with silence. Hollow. He's not there. Only memories her heart grips fiercely. Death killed a lifetime of conversation but she'll survive. She must, he would have wanted that.

I look at my handiwork. Not good. The stitches have #puckered the flesh but I was not trying for cosmetic looks. Perhaps my hands were shaking from nervousness, it's the least of my worries. The storm approaches. Maybe this time I'll be able to shout "It lives!"

It's the same old same old. When loneliness is his world. A word. A glance. A touch. She does not really see him. Down that #rabbit_hole he goes again, where his dreams turn into dust.

No one liked a cheat, especially in a major tournament. She thought the lemons were just the crowd going sour on her, a metaphor so to speak, but they were filled with lead and hit her like bullets. Lying unconscious on the court, the umpire called it.
