The Selfless Room. Top Story - August 2024.
The new entrant to my group forgot to leave phones at the door. Our project of the moment was a locket that, when worn, could make someone so sad that they forget about all loved ones. Our task was to hover around, a halo of no person, and focus on the troublesome aura to relocate to a secure capsule. As the force moved, a call buzzed from a pocket. The curse must have dashed to the phone. The locket was unburdened, but we were not successful. The phone screen flashed, a grad photo of a boy flanked by two parents. My breath caught.

Three Oh Eight. Runner-Up in Just a Minute Challenge.
The vintage clock flips its last number from seven to eight on the nightstand. Electrical currents and the messages they carry shift too subtly for you to wake. If a doctor were here with sticky electrodes attached to your scalp and red and blue wires braiding away toward a screen, they would call this a seizure. But you do not know this, and there are no doctors around to know that they need to check.

Do You Need to Practice Dialogue? Try This Prompt
I admit it, I hate dialogue. I hate it. I love writing stories. I love narrators and writing from the stream of consciousness of a character's perspective. My dialogue is typically economical and purpose-driven. It gets my characters from one plot point to another, but it is rarely the point of any portion of a story.

Millersville's Daughters
Happy Birthday to L.C. Schäfer. You challenged me to go a bit darker than I typically do with your Fucked Up Fairytales unofficial challenge. I'm not going to name the fable, it's pretty obvious. If you ignore this preface, I also managed to come in at exactly 366 words, as requested.
