Made from Words, a story for the Giraffe Call

For stryck's prompt.

“It may be time to accept the inevitable,” Fred sighed, holding Chelsea close. His wife stiffened in his arms.

“No!” she demanded. “When have we ever given in? When have we ever given up? Fred, Fred, I want this so badly!”

“I do too, honey, you know I do. But nothing is getting us anywhere…”

“Well, then, we’ll have to try something else!”

She spent the next week in her studio, writing, pouring out everything onto paper. Their lovemaking was rough and desperate when she emerged, and often ended with Fred holding a sobbing Chelsea, the two of them clinging to each other as if to a lifeboat. When the week passed and she calmed, the sex gentler, the sounds from the studio more like her normal writing, Fred thought she’d finally given in, that she hadn’t been able to find another way any more than he had.

The Gift-Wife, a story for the Giraffe Call

For skjam's prompt.

"HENRY JOHN CHRISTCHURCH, YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO RECEIVE A BRIDE!"

It was not the e-mail Hank was expecting to see in his inbox. Any other day, he would have deleted it as SPAM, but there had been that contest he'd entered a few months back. He hadn't thought it was for a wife, but, well, there's been a long list of prizes (he'd been interested in the IPad more than anything). So he clicked.

The e-mail, once read, looked surprisingly legitimate, especially considering the all-caps hysteria of its subject line. Go to this place, present ID proving that he was, indeed Henry John Christchurch, collect mail-order bride.

There had to be a catch, of course, but the attached photos were of a very lovely woman, dark-haired, exotic looking. From some country up in the frozen north, he was sure, and, more than anything, he was curious how they'd pull off the swap. Present him with some ugly girl and say she'd had a hard time since she left her homeland? Tell him that the picture was only representative?( Read more... )

The Truth, and Hair-pieces, a story for the Giraffe Call @trueform

For @TrueForm's prompt.

The fairy godmothers were duking it out in the break room. The princess' christening was just days away, and they could not come down to the required seven gifts.

They had manged beauty, fairness, level-headedness in a crisis, dexterity, charisma, and an eye for beauty, but on the seventh gift, two of the oldest fairies were in disagreement.

"Give her the ability to see dishonesty," Nichanni insisted, throwing a right hook with a surprisingly strong arm for such an elderly-looking woman. "Every Queen needs to know when she's being lied to."

"Give her Truth itself," Lisalind insisted, ducking the right hook and kicking at Nichanni's knees. "She does not need lies, which will poison her. Speaking only the truth will serve her well."
