The Ruby
"A Micro Heist"
Blair had heard all of the rumors. She was determined to embezzle a Ruby that was said to hold the "Fountain of Youth" if one held it in their possession.
Currently, the Ruby was in the possession of an "older" woman by the name of Sadie Hilton. Ms. Hilton was said to be atleast 90 years old. However, she appeared much younger. To the naked eye, Ms. Hilton didn't look a day over 40 years old.
Blair was very superficial, and her appearance meant everything. So, Blair and her crew decided to take the Ruby for once and for all.
They had arrived and broke into Ms. Johnson's house when she was not there. Blair saw it, picked up the Ruby and began to instantly age. It was at that time that Ms. Hilton, unbeknownst to them had arrived and was watching from the doorway.
Blair spun around and faced a smiling Ms. Hilton.
"Darling, if the Ruby is not given to you by its rightful owner, you will age instead of getting younger, like I did." Ms. Hilton smirked.
Blair dropped the Ruby to the floor. She walked in a 25-year-old woman.
But she left 65 years old!

The Solstice in Bad Gumption
‘How do we go about it?’ The group of three men and one boy shifted from foot to foot around a bonfire spluttering sparks in the bone chilling drizzle, a few hefty stones sitting amid the flames. They were thinking about all the time it took to get it going in this weather. Someone sniffed, someone coughed. They all felt cold and uneasy standing at the edge of the fields sprawling in front of them in the dusk, with their backs to the dripping birches surrounding the cemetery.

A Trial of Emotions
The courtroom is stale with silence. No one here can find words to utter after the doctor’s testimony. I feel the weight of hundreds of eyes on me. Judging me. Condemning me. Sentencing me before I have even had a chance to give my side of the story.

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.
