#WordWeavers 2503.27 — What small precious memento does a character keep on their person? What makes it precious?

When the devil-girl ran away, she had the choice of taking a picture of her dead mother. She instead took a paperback-sized grimoire, which she sleeps with, the cover stained with sweat and drool. It smells of her. Her mother's voice she can hear from time to time in restaurants in the background. She was an international musical theatre star. She leaves because she doesn't like to cry. Nothing will bring her back. With the 500 year old priceless grimoire, the margins of which is filled with her notes in teeny-tiny colored pen, she can learn to warp reality. She's happy with her choice because it helps her remember a big goal. Revenging her mother's death.

TO FRIENDS & FOLLOWERS: I am in the midst of creating new work to show you. Please stay tuned and thank you! :-)

The Mysterious Monster March: WATCHING
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"He watches as the three monsters join others in a long line.
He can hear them rumbling and grumbling,
hooting and howling as they slowly march past."

To read some of the pages from the story, please visit: https://gretchenkdeahl.com/gallery/?mgc_58=72/mysterious-monster-march I'd love to hear your comments or feedback! :-)

#PennedPossibilities 626 — MC POV: Are you afraid of your capabilities?

I tried for the longest time to work the Impossible Miracle. The working feels like contemplating death, which may be the reason people think it impossible. Then, to save my life, I managed it. Once. It felt like I'd aimed a dagger at my heart, yet got the pain not the wound! I found myself in front of a more deadly foe (who apparently was the source revelation I'd gotten to copy to my notebook). My second try flattened me to the ground, exhausted, unable to move. My future boss decided I was stupid after all, and kicked me in the head to put me out of my misery. Am I afraid of my capabilities? Not so much as my inability to predict failure! If I'd only run that day, maybe...?

His card, which seemed too small to carry the weight of his academic distinctions, preceded him by a few seconds, and then he entered himself — so large, so pompous, and so dignified that he was the very embodiment of self-possession and solidity. And yet his first action, when the door had closed behind him, was to stagger against the table, whence he slipped down upon the floor, and there was that majestic figure prostrate and insensible upon our bearskin hearth-rug.
