The Test

Solanj stood in the room waiting. The walls and floor were bare wood. A huge mirror adorned one wall, affording a reflected view of every angle. Solanj felt, more than saw, the Officers of the Board watching her every move. Another test. Continue reading “The Test”

Solanj entered through the window, quietly as a ghost. She bumped the study door lock and cautiously stepped inside. And came to an abrupt halt. There at the desk sat Sir John Larbech, her target. Continue reading “Just Business”

The Governor’s Ball

For Dark Netizen’s Wacky Weekend Challenge.  This week’s prompt:  Canine

The Governor’s Last Ball

Solanj checked the full-length mirror one final time. The costume was perfect. Hair extension, lifts in the low-heeled boots, elaborate makeup and partial mask combined into an effective disguise. She twisted the long hair into a sloppy bun and secured it with her kanzashi.

Exactly what Solanj was counting on. Dressed in black from her low boots to the skullcap that covered her honey colored hair, she blended into the darkness like a shadow.

Check out the Wacky Weekend Challenge over at the Dark Netizen, fun stuff.

This week’s prompt: Explosion

The explosion went as planned. A huge fireball with copious amounts of harmless smoke and little lasting damage but it drew off the sentries. Solanj walked calmly up to the embassy door, glanced about making sure she was unseen and entered. Continue reading “Dark Netizen’s Wacky Weekend Challenge 2 – The Explosion”
