Prompt Word: Gin

Hunter James 7

Bowen found himself back in front of Tess feeling very awkward.

Tess looked him up and down, and said, “A certain key went missing yesterday morning, do you know anything about that?”

“Thank you, I have it right here,” Bowen said.

“I’m afraid I didn’t hear you. You don’t know anything about it?”

Actually getting the hint, he made a show of bending over in front of the desk, “Is this it here?” he said as he stood back up and offered over the key.


Tess gingerly grabbed the key, “You said it was on the floor?”

Nodding, louder, “As I first said, there’s a key right here, it was at my feet.” Quieter, “I do have something weird to report.”

“Not about the old dungeon,” Tess said flatly.

With a dramatic sigh, Bowen said what he could, “Me and Andi gathered at the door, to have a moment of silence for our lost party member, and it seemed there was a violet glow from behind the door.”


Tess responded, “Sounds like gin, to me.”

Bowen was already feeling awkward, and now getting mad, “Gin don’t glow!”

“Making things up does. We’re done here.”
