Melinda sniffed her glass and recoiled. “This smells so much like feet.” “I think it smells like cheese.” “Exactly,” Melinda said. “Cheesy feet.” “Do anyone’s feet really smell of cheese though?” April asked, swirling the liquid in her glass. Melinda wasn’t sure why they’d opted to drink the illusion potion from wine glasses, rather thanContinue reading “Chapter 4.43 – Freedom”

Chapter 4.40 – A Worthwhile Cause
“It’s gloomy today, don’t you think?” Broof and Lilith had completed the journey in near silence, except for the occasional question from Lilith. Lilith hadn’t known that the bearded former butler could hold such a grudge – he’d always seemed so amicable and even a bit boring. This grumpy man was giving her a lotContinue reading “Chapter 4.40 – A Worthwhile Cause”
Chapter 4.39 – Toilet Water
After what had been a very lovely night of stargazing, laughter, cuddling and kissing, Melinda had taken to painting her pots all day, leaving April to her own devices for a while. But April was never bored, especially not when she was surrounded by so many fun magical things! Just that morning alone she hadContinue reading “Chapter 4.39 – Toilet Water”
Chapter 4.35 – Come Home
“This coffee tastes strange.” “That’s because it’s tea.” “Oh,” Eileen looked at the cup and plucked out a piece of tea leaf. “That explains all the bits in it. Oh, Jessica, you didn’t sleep at all, did you?” Smiled at Jessica’s curious look. “I heard you tossing and turning all night.” “I’m really sorry. DidContinue reading “Chapter 4.35 – Come Home”
Chapter 4.28 – Our Identity
“It’s overcast,” April sighed, looking out to the horizon. “The first day we can go outside in forever and it’s cloudy. Boo.” “Boo,” Melinda echoed with a smile. “We’re still outside aren’t we? Let’s make the most of it. “What shall we do first?” “Arcade! Oh, wait, there isn’t one here. Um. Get an iceContinue reading “Chapter 4.28 – Our Identity”
Chapter 4.26 – Vital Chin Surgery
Note: my game has the ‘occults keep losing their facial markings and eyes’ bug and I couldn’t be bothered to keep drawing them on manually, so there are inconsistencies in their pictures. April squirmed on her seat as the room filled with the kind of noises that had often echoed from Wyatt’s room, and herContinue reading “Chapter 4.26 – Vital Chin Surgery”
Chapter 4.23 – Elixir Mixer
April burst into the room like the first rays of morning sun. “Good morning!” she sang. “Morning Apes.” Wyatt rubbed his temples and turned away from his effervescent daughter and back to his video game, where his character fell off the platform he’d so carefully landed on. He could sense her bubbling in his peripheralContinue reading “Chapter 4.23 – Elixir Mixer”
Chapter 4.19 – Long Gone
Melinda had been staring at Faith for so long that Faith began to wonder if she’d caused her friend to malfunction. “Are you okay?” Faith asked gently, even though the answer was written all over Melinda’s weird face. “No. I’m not ‘okay’,” Melinda huffed. “I’ve just learned that my supposed best friend is an accessoryContinue reading “Chapter 4.19 – Long Gone”
Chapter 4.18 – Forty Miles of Horseshit
Melinda had been hanging out with April and Wyatt all day and most of the night, and had taken her leave in the early hours, so that Wyatt could sleep. She’d invited April back, but April had refused, saying that she was going work on a potion using her new cauldron. Melinda might have beenContinue reading “Chapter 4.18 – Forty Miles of Horseshit”
Chapter 4.14 – A Marigold Speciality
Before they’d even fully materialised, April was squealing at a pitch that only she could reach. She had run a circle of the small house while twittering excitedly, and had disappeared upstairs to unpack the contents of her small backpack. Wyatt, who had obviously seen it all before, stayed downstairs with Melinda who, true toContinue reading “Chapter 4.14 – A Marigold Speciality”
