Day 8 - Prompt: write a scene in the middle of a novel called "The Long, Dirty Afterwards."

Oh look, it's Disaster fic Inspired by current events...

Title: Threes


Jake swept up the broken glass while Bobby held the dustpan. Nick was supposed to be double checking the gas meter but he was conspicuously out front with the rest of them, checking his phone instead and passing on rumors.

"Man, first the earthquake, now they say that hurricane is going to send storms all the way inland to here."

"Inland to here? You make it sound like there's a beach closer than a three day drive."

"Yeah, and it's going to make it all the way here. But that wasn't what I was going for, what do you think the third thing will be."

Day 9 – Prompt: mourning dead gods

Universe: My own only vaguely developed superheroes setting. It's been said that superheroes are the gods and demigods of modern mythology. And sometimes when they fall they don't return in the next issue.

I had a partially written version that I might have used for Day 30 of the previous set, so when I decided to dust it off and try again it came together pretty quickly. Almost 800 words (that's shorter than the already written #10 that will be posted shortly).

Content warning: See the prompt above, the title below? It's a funeral. It's not a happy story. (But hopefully not overwrought)

Scene under the cut.

Day 10 – write a story set in three different time periods

Setting: aldersprig's Tir Na Cali

Content warnings: slavery, potentially questionable consent (to be fair he doesn't say no and doesn't object, but he is a slave), no on page sex but it's pretty strongly implied.

Part 1: Kids

Caera

Caera paused in her glum walk through the halls certain she heard something. She had worked herself into sulk at how utterly boring the day was, but perhaps slipping away from her tutor wouldn't be a waste of time after all. Nine ought to be old enough to go out and do things. But none of her older sisters or her brothers had any time for her.
