And back to the word mines

1626 new words today, which is not at all bad after a break. Qiaqia has turned vigilante, though she isn't sure why.

"So easy, to kill, to silence that blood than jumped and flowed beneath the skin. The girl was staring at her out of eyes that were huge and scared and confused. On either side, the man’s friends stared, too, trying to account for their friend’s sudden withdrawal. She might stop his heart, let him fall where he stood. It would be so very easy…"

Perhaps just inducing a sudden attack of sneezes, vomiting or uncontrollable diarrhoea would serve the same purpose, make her feel better and avoid irrevocable actions.

Speaking as one who has a somewhat similar problem (temporary, I trust), that would work very well as a massive inconvenience, especially if it's his dominant hand.

Something along the lines of a massive allergic reaction would work too. You know, every time he comes within 2 metres of a woman he starts sneezing uncontrollably.

Oh, that's a lovely idea. Sadly, I don't think she can do that -- she's an aspect of death. But all the same...
