Prompt Word: Bash
Minervie and Chip 76
Most of the group with Cathy and Minervie in the gathering wood were security, and to a person, none of them appreciated their charge tempting fate by saying what she said out loud. All of them that had been doing these jobs for more than a few years went into high alert.
Noticing the mood shift, Cathy spoke up, “What happened?”
The security team leader, Brett, who is usually silent spoke, “You just happened.”
For the first time, Cathy was angry, “What does THAT mean? What did I do?”
Jaz, the most outspoken of the group spoke up. “Madame C, in this line of work we don’t tempt a magic wood by stating aloud what we hope to avoid.”
Cathy responded, “Superstitious non-sense!”
Jaz, matter of factly added, “Yes, our job is dealing with magic in all its forms, what is normal for us is ALL superstition to the public out there.”
#wss366 #bash (3/3)
Despite the tension in the air, there were no further incidents on the way out of of the Gathering Wood. The biggest disturbance was the gate at the back of Minervie’s yard bashing closed on its rusty spring, when they’d already left the wood.
