A Supportive Lover (Commission)

A commission for Kayllik.

The spell arrived in the mail, days after Susan ordered it. She opened the envelope and pulled out a sheet of black cardstock paper. Drawn upon it in silver ink were intricate geometrical designs interspersed with arcane symbols and sigils. None of it made sense to Susan, but she had no doubt it was actual magic. Along with the spell, there was a note from the ...

Steven had been Tim’s best friend. They grew up on the same cul de sac and had palled around with each other for as long as either of them could remember. Most likely they would have remained close friends...

Teen Witch: Ladies

“Adrian, cut it out,” warned Max.

“Shh,” Adrian whispered. “I can barely hear them.”

They had paused on the stairs when Adrian had decided to eavesdrop on his sister and her friend.

“I don’t know,” said his sister, Jaime, in her room. “Can’t we just be our normal selves, instead?”

“But, that’s boring,” replied Jamie’s weird friend, Esme. “If we drink these, then we can be five years older, and we won’t have to beg one of our parents ...

Chapter 4.1.3 - They become 2 years old.

Tim decided he wanted to see how young he could make everyone. Making them actual babies might be going too far, but he could turn them into toddlers. It would be interesting to see how the app handled such an extreme change.

At the Foot of the Queen (Commission)

In a puff of green smoke, Will appeared in the villainous queen's private quarters. He sighed, realizing that the witch’s plan was working. Although he had sworn to do whatever it took to end the war between their two great kingdoms, he had been reluctant to go along with this particular plan. The court witch of his kingdom had devised a way for him to eavesdrop undetected by the queen. He had tried to suggest other options, but the witch had pointed out how the queen had used her evil magi...

Edits - Ch 6

Chapter 6 - He selects a bully.

Outline

Walking down the hall, Tim’s mind wandered through the endless possibilities that the app opened for him. Had he been paying more attention to where he was going, he might have noticed the bully in his way.

Chris Baker was big, mean, and dumb, a dangerous combination of attributes. Normally, Tim would avoid Chris at all costs, as Tim was s...

Chapter 4.1.2.1 - Oh no, his phone is gone!

Outline

Tim reached for his phone to make more changes using the app, but he could not locate where it was. It was not in his pocket. He did not find it in his bag either. He checked the floor and everywhere else he could think of, but there was no sign of it. The phone was gone, which meant the app was gone. Without it, he was trapped at this...

Chapter 4.1.2 - They become 8 years old.

Tim decided it might be interesting to just divide in half the age of all the students in the room. It could be fun to see everyone looking the way they did back in grade school.

Tim checked the app and reviewed the caption:

Years for Sale - Epilogue (Commission)

This is an optional epilogue to Years for Sale as requested by a generous supporter. I leave it to you if you want to consider this the real ending or not.

Two years later…

Audrey woke up in her luxury hotel room, stood up from the bed, and stretched her body. Her fingers reached all the way up to brush against the ceiling. That surprised her.

“Another growth spurt?” she asked herself, relishing in the bassy sound of her voice. She looked down past h...

Years for Sale - Chapter 6

Caroline’s aunt called a week later, and they scheduled an upcoming weekend for Caroline to babysit Audrey, one last time before the fall. It was an easy enough thing to agree to, but as time passed and the chosen Friday approached, Caroline grew increasingly apprehensive about returning to Audrey and the bracelets. There had been many risks taken, many close calls, and while everything had worked out each time, she was aware that their luck would run out, eventually. She had the money she ...

Chapter 4.3.2 - He makes Mr. Jacobson 16.

<< Previous (4.3) / Outline

Tim decided that Mr. Jacobson ought to try out being the same age as his students. It seemed fitting, somehow, that he would also be the twin brother to his own daughter.

Tim erased the 45 for age in the caption and replaced it ...

Chapter 4.3.1 - He makes Mr. Jacobson 7.

Tim decided that Mr. Jacobson ought to be younger than his own children. It would be funny to see someone so authoritarian become the littlest member of his family.

Tim sighed and said, “Sorry.” He closed the app and slipped the phone into his bag. He di...
