Blackmail?
Luke thinks about what Matt has said. Laney's camera. He remembered her taking snaps. He remembers her, sitting on the wall, pointing and clicking while they played in the street, laughing at their antics, exaggerated for her benefit.

The Queen Pelalandorus Incident
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. Perhaps it was the wind. Others say it was because we were famished. A curse? For having killed her kin. Divine retribution for those we banished. A plague sent by the Vaquarin? For a war that was unfinished.

Sand-hustler
Once upon a time, there was a stately sandcastle on a beach. In the sandcastle, there lived a princess who longed to swim in the ocean. Every day, she woke up and watched the sunrise. The ocean waves taunted her. Every evening, she would sit and watch the sunset. The ocean waves still taunted her. One day, in frustration, she cried out to no one in particular, “I’d give anything for just one swim in the ocean!”

Dear P.
Here is a link to the challenge: And please, forgive me... * Dear P., Perhaps this is a little confusing. Your real name is Alison (or is that Alyson...or Alys? It is never clear in the text), but most of the world knows you as the wife. Or the Wife. The woman who travelled with all of those other pilgrims to that famous cathedral in England, and was given the longest of the prologues in Geoffrey's most famous long poem. You boasted of your five husbands, telling us of the three who were good - old, rich and submissive - and the two who were bad (not much detail there). You were also 'gat-toothed' (ah, that gap in the teeth was a symbol of its time that we may want to give back - so much sensuality in it). This was to symbolize your liberated sexuality...as if this was not already clear from the tale spilled out from your lips...
