Satire
The Littlings
Rebecca was a woman, regardless of how she’d look to you. A tomboy grown up, she had long accepted she struck many as, in a word, “butch.” Thick, square, and barrel-chested, Rebecca absent-mindedly chewed her nicotine gum in wide, obnoxious, exposed openings of her mouth, stimming as she glanced down to her van dash-holstered phone displaying directions; she couldn’t hear her music with the text-to-speech on. Thankfully, for pedestrians and other drivers, she wasn’t long pulling into the driveway of that morning’s client; Janet Frost of 108 Glengreen Estates.

Once, she bought a talking fish who turned out to be a witch-hexed prince. The only way to remove the hex would be for Elena to fall in love and give him a human baby. Falling in love was the easy part. One day, Elena started to lay fish eggs and put them in the aquarium where her Prince lived in the fish form. She told him to watch them while she was at work, however, the eggs kept disappearing.

The Case of the Missing Ring. Runner-Up in Mismatch Challenge.
It was an average Moonday. My mead was hitting me in the right spot as the elvish weed propped me up and forced me to consider the day ahead. I had a feeling in my guts that there would be a very serious disturbance to my day, like two orcs fighting over who gets to eat a dwarf, or whatever those thugs like to chow on. I was in no mood for big surprises, but I also wanted to pay my rent for the month. You can only have so many elves wondering if the loves of their lives are cheating on them before you develop a rep as the bearer of bad parchment. No one really wants the truth...but they want the things they lost to get found, even if it's from a hobbit on his last drop of mead.
