Hear
After gaining a tongue, many of the golems found they liked the sound of their own voice.
Stripes
Vimes blinked to clear the apparition but no; one of the Klatchian ambassadors had brought a striped horse as tribute.
Waiting
Moist grabbed the reins – he didn't have enough patience to wait for Fate or Destiny or what have you.
Can't
Cannot was just another word for try harder in Granny's book
Pain
Reg was on patrol with one of the newbies.
"Does dying hurt?"
"Not as much as living."
Mischief
Glenda was busy, but not so busy she didn't see Trev sneak out with a stolen pie. She smiled anyway – she had filled that one with horseradish and hazelnut, especially for him.
Magic
Vimes was an old copper; he didn't believe in gods, didn't believe in magic, didn't even believe in himself half the time. But, sometimes, he believed in people.
Tower
They said you could see the edge of the Disc if you had the stamina to reach the top of the Tower of Art. Rincewind was too busy fearing for his life to confirm or deny the rumor.
Creation
There was Time and Age and Death, but Fear was humanity's own creation.
Color
Mr. Shine often entertained the younger generations by turning his hand into a magnificent prism. The toddlers loved that trick.
Fire
One asked What is it?
One replied Humans call it flame.
One queried What is its purpose?
One hypothesized It is used for warmth.
One wondered What is warmth?
Safety
Dorfl was often sent to do crowd control. Nothing like a golem to silence a riot.
Secret
People in Ankh – Morpork only thought they had secrets. The only person in the city with any secrets was Vetinari.
I already put a similar note in my other Discworld collection, but I will repeat here; this is my last piece in this collection for a long while.
I began writing in this fandom for one of my best friends who roped me into the series and was the source of many great ideas; he was also my beta of sorts; everything I did in Discworld went through him before it came here. Since moving to another college, my source of motivation has been largely lost. I'm sorry for it, but there isn't much I can do about it.
I am not leaving the fandom altogether; this note is mainly so that none of my constant readers think I dropped out completely. I do plan to continue as best I can, but the wait between updates will likely be a long one. I'm grateful to all the wonderful reviewers for my Discworld work; you've left some of the most encouraging reviews of any of my fanfiction and I read them constantly when I need a boost.
Thanks for everything. I promise to be back with more as soon as I can :)
