Experience

The first time Havelock Vetinari killed a man, he had to take his clothes to the laundresses to remove a small bloodstain on the sleeve.

The second time, not a drop hit the floor.

Goodbye

Teppic slung his bag over his shoulder and waved goodbye to Ptraci as he walked to the boats. He didn't look back.

Soporific

"… and that's how you take care of a pest problem." Fred Colon finished his story with a definitive nod, never realizing that the entire room had fallen asleep during his story.

Frequent

Vimes sighed and paid for the gifts Sybil had bought, glad Hogswatch only came once a year.

Contortion

"Don't mess with her Borrigan." Nobby pointed Angua out to a newbie. "Didja see what she did to the last poor sop she brought in?"

"I didn't know dwarfs could bend like that."

Repression

Nanny told a lot of stories – Magrat tried to forget most of them.

Marvel

Ridcully beamed at the horizon. "My, what a lovely sunrise!"

"Looks just like a sunset."

"My pillow is prettier."

"I haven't had breakfast in twenty years – what's this doughy flat thing?

"That's a pancake Dean."

Gazebo

Fred Colon pulled himself from the wreckage of the collapsed gazebo. "What just happened?"

"I think you made it angry Sarge."

Acoustics

"Well, you know Granny. Heart of gold under all that cranky."

"I heard that Gytha Ogg!"

Inventive

Leonard had learned – mistakes were the foundation of success.

Race

The First Annual Ankh-Morpork Marathon was a flop – no one bothered to enter. The Second Annual Ankh-Morpork Marathon was a much greater success after the wizards were banned for having Rincewind on their team.

Appeal

You couldn't fake charisma – Moist of all people knew that. How the hell did Vetinari keep his job?

Stone

People were good at casting stones – witches were good at throwing them back.


I just realized I haven't updated this since January. I promise I'm still writing it! I seem to be more fond of my other Discworld collection of oneshots.
