Introduction

Vimes stood outside the new Patrician's door, helmet under one arm. First Winder, then Snapcase; he could only hope the new guy was, at the very least, sane.

Love

A dwarf/human and a wolf/human; maybe their human halves could be happy with each other.

Dark

They said you showed who you really are in the dark. But Granny didn't live in the dark; she lived on the Edge, and had stared dark in the face and sent it running. But the voice still echoed somewhere in the back of her mind: what are you in the dark?

Light

Otto was the worst type of a vampire; he was the vampire equivalent of a morning person.

Breathe

As Trev got up slowly, one hand help to his head and waved to the crowd to show that he was alright, Juliet let out the breath she didn't know she'd been holding.

Foreign

Sean Ogg watched the traveling priest as he walked by the smithy. Mother wouldn't like this.

Memory

Maybe it was his programming, but Hex had a lot of memories he didn't remember experiencing. It wasn't a problem he could explain to the faculty though.

"What do you mean you have memories you don't remember having? That doesn't make a lick of sense."

Night

Keel squinted in the weak candlelight of Swing's torture chamber. "Can I get a light?"

"I have long preferred the dark," said the voice of Swing behind him.

Misfortune

Death was never one to laugh at the misfortunes of humans, but some of them really did find hilarious ways to meet him.

Innocence

Mrs. Palm smiled to herself as Sandra took care of another customer. She really was adorable.

Stars

Reg was rather surprised to wake up after having supposedly been dead. He wasn't even properly buried yet. The stiffness had managed to set into his limbs though, and he was having trouble getting off his back and on his feet. Always one to make the best of a situation, he found the stars to be lovely from here.

Escape

Susan knew she couldn't run; no one escaped her grandfather.

Surprise

No matter his insistence, Sybil always wrapped Vetinari's Hogswatch present neatly with a large bow to match the paper. Vimes didn't see the point. It wasn't like the man was ever surprised by anything.
