She spun, heart pounding, to find the bear standing behind her. She reached into her pocket, dug out the pack of cigarettes she had brought, and tossed them to him.
"For you!" she gasped.
"Thank you, Ranger," he said, accepting them. (3/3) #wss366

The picnic grounds were empty this early. Everything was pristine with a light coating of dew. Once the sun cleared the trees, the dew would burn off and it would be a beautiful day. Trees! She inspected the trees carefully, looking for the owl.

Melly arrived at the park. She glanced up at the sky nervously as she walked from the SkyJumper stop. She never knew when the owl would appear. She first had to open the office, #lug out the signboard, and post announcements on the bulletin board. Then, she started to make her rounds. (1/3) #wss366

We saw a hawk on a nearby fence, that then flew up and posed in this silver maple for us. It's an immature red-tail, I think.

I only have final projects left to grade, then I can assign grades and finish off the semester.

One last deep breath and then I'll take the dive.

I really like today's #WritersCoffeeClub question. I've really enjoyed reading all of the responses from our little #WritingCommunity, some earnest, some tongue-in-cheek, all interesting and insightful. I'm really glad to be here with all of you. Thank you.

#WritersCoffeeClub How do you ‘write what you know’?

It's easy because I'm a know-it-all. Just ask my wife.

Volpex Picnic Park… That was that weird park with the bear and — a chill went through her — that owl. The bear was #easy to deal with — just give him a pack of cigarettes and he'd do anything. But the owl… She could see his eyes in her imagination. A frisson of fear washed over her. (2/2) #wss366

Melly's device chirped while she was still waking up. Blinking, she checked. There was only one message. She read it, and her stomach clenched.
"Oh, no!" she moaned.
The ranger at the Volpex Picnic Park was out with a strain and she had been assigned to fill in. (1/2) #wss366

"Um… You've got some sauce on your cheek," Miss Dairy whispered.
"Lambda!" Totemo ordered. Lambda jumped up and licked the sauce off her face.
Miss Dairy pouted.
"Hey! Maybe I wanted to do that!"
"Don't be weird!" Totemo said. (2/2) #wss366

Totemo and Miss Dairy sat down at the street festival with their take-out. Miss Dairy cuddled up against her on the bench.
"I got karage," Miss Dairy said, opening her container. "What did you get?"
"Barbeque ribs," Totemo replied. She got one out and took a bite. (1/2) #wss366

Curtiss and Serena stood outside the grand ballroom. He took a deep breath, not sure what to expect.
"Are you ready, Milady?"
She put a hand on his arm.
"Before we go in," she said, "we need to get our signals straight."
"Signals?"
"Yes. We need some #code words in case things go wrong." #wss366

Just as the first drops were falling, they brought their little wagon into the barn. Moments later the skies unleashed sheets of rain, there was a brilliant flash of lightning, and they heard a shattering boom of thunder. (2/2) #wss366

"Hey!" a voice hailed from far off. "Storm's a'comin'!"
A farmer from across a field waved and pointed them toward a barn.
Kasseh shook the reins and brought the horses to a quick #trot. They turned off the road into the lane. (1/2) #wss366

"Beowolf has always felt more modern to me than Gilgamesh. It has a nuanced perspective of the Hero's Journey, which is almost Cambellian in the way it recapitulates the three-act structure."

"Do I need an app that uses a blockchain?"

"No."

"But what if…"

"No."

David got his fingers on it and reseated it.
"Can I get a #hand in here?" he called.
There was silence. Then he heard the click-click-click of Captain Tau's nails on the deck. Tau nudged him with his muzzle.
"A paw will be fine. Just tell me if the screen is still flickering." (2/2) #wss366
