"You forget your duty," he said. "Your duty to your lord and your family. Would you really give everything for this boy? Go back home to your wife, while there's still something to salvage."
There was no counter I could make to counter his logic.
#WIPSnips
"My brother hated me because our father gave me the most love. What he failed to realize was our father's faith was in him. I was never a threat to him, nor would our father ever choose me over him."
#WIPSnips
"I was your brother, and look what you did to me!" I pulled off the mask, revealing the ghost mark.
"You were never my brother," he said. "You are the son of a maid. You never deserved our father's love or attention. He never should have recognized you."
A very queer march. To the left of the text are rainbow pride flag colours.

It was the flat of the blade,not the edge. But the press of the cold metal against my neck was a warning. He can easily kill me.
#WIPSnips
My white robes billowed around me in the silvery moonlight. I was a ghost, haunting the roads at night, searching for the one man who could help me find justice, the physician.
The tags for #WSPit are hopefully going to be posted tomorrow. Iβve been working on setting up some feeds and wanted to make sure they work before I post the tags, which may differ from last year.
Sorry for the delay.

I huddled in the furthest corner. I put my fingers on the mark on my face. It said 'ghost', I'd seen the reflection in a bowl of water earlier. I was really and truly dead now. All that was left to do was die.
#WIPSnips
"Dear brother, you illness troubles me. I worry that you may soon succumb to your sadness. Wouldn't that be a tragedy so soon after our father's death."
The threat wasn't subtle. Everyone in that room knew what he was saying. He meant to kill me soon.
#WIPSnips
Since those days, my skills became more free and fluid. They spoke of a hard earned freedom. My blade cut like a vengeful sunbeam through my enemies. The Ghost would use his blade of light to cut out the darkness.
#WIPSnips
A single beam of light. It could bring hope. For me it was a reminder that there was nothing left but darkness. Was there any hope for me? Or did my brother's betrayal permanently stamp it out? I reach out for the one thing that gave me peace.

The two men stood over me, bickering. "You're attempting to steal my high value hostage without paying. I can't allow that."
"Your hostage is my sister's son. He was not in your keeping when we found him. If he had been, I would have gladly paid you."
#WIPSnips
I had to remind myself that my pain was irrelevant. As long as they were hurting me, they wouldn't be hurting the prince. I would give them nothing.
"You're tougher than I imagined, little bird." He said. "I would have expected your delicate bones to be crushed by now, but here we are."
#WIPSnips
"I brought you wine," I said. I held the cup up near his lips.
"Is there poison in that cup, Δn?"
"Tomorrow, my uncle kills you. Save yourself some pain."
He laughs. "So devious."
"You never suspected the beautiful song bird of destroying you so completely. I destroyed us both."
There will be more info about #WSPit dropping this week!
I'm working on a couple different things for this year.
But, the biggest thing, it's happening & is open to any stage of writing from WIP to published. It's to celebrate our books & pitch what we've been sharing from all year.

I woke up this morning and every inch of me hurts. My back, shoulders, leg, the back of my head, for some reason. *sighs*
It's probably the weather. It's overcast and gross.
Not that good.πππ
