Smile
Angua left without saying goodbye. She knew she wouldn't be able to leave if she saw him smile at her again.
Mood
If they had a personality, the Auditors would have been in a permanent state of grouchiness. But they did not, and so they were not.
Portrait
Otto pointed his camera toward the smiling young couple. But no matter what setting, what lens he used, the woman never appeared in the picture. Wen laughed with sudden understanding.
"Of course! You can't take a picture of Time!"
Promise
He said he'd be home at six, and Vimes would be damned if the universe thought it could keep him from that vow. He lit a cigar, put on his most intimidating face, and got down to business.
Insurance
Drumknott was one of the few individuals that didn't pay up to the Thieves Guild. Being the Patrician's personal secretary was its own brand of protection.
Abandoned
Dorfl worked tirelessly, constantly, thoughtlessly. But somewhere in his clay was a deep sadness. The Dearheart lady hadn't come back.
Quiet
Sweeper didn't talk often, but when he did it was usually worth listening.
Honor
Young Sam (now the only Sam) made his way through the cemetery, past blank markers and modest graves. He never knew why his father always came back every year, but it felt important to carry on remembering.
Rainy
Susan looked out the window at the gathering rainclouds and sighed. As if her hair wasn't bad enough on its own.
Generous
The suicides were the worst. They expected Death to be generous.
Coincidence
Granny Weatherwax kept her face a careful neutral.
"And the… cat… just happened to eat it?"
"Bad luck that."
Easy
It wasn't easy being the Hogfather. Luckily, the free food and single workday a year made up for it.
Concerned
Downey peered over the lip of the building and grimaced at the grisly scene below. Assassins weren't supposed to leave such messy jobs behind. He hoped he wasn't in too much trouble for it.
This is my favorite style to write in. I already have the next installment started, but I'm happy to take requests, word prompts, or random ideas you'd like to throw my way :) My one exception is pairings - I don't write good romance. Sorry. Anything else is fair game though, so send it in!
