Trigger warning; mention of a miscarriageThe tantalizing aroma of roses wafted from the Indian scented candle, the beautiful smell enveloping the dining room of the Mystic Meadows Mansion as multiple servants placed multiple expensive china on top of the twenty-sitter dining hall table under Mia's strict directions. The wonderful smells of roasted potatoes, seared duck, salad ranch and fresh fruit warred with the rose scent in the air, all of the the scents vying for the spot of most pleasant smell in the big house. Expensive whine from the ...

The guests were gathered outside the huts, the birds chirping happily and the air filled with merriment. It was as if I was experiencing an out of body adventure. I could feel everything happening around me, the ululations, the jovial laughter the dancing and the merriment. I’d watched a lot of movies where the hero who had died would watch as people fussed and cried over their bloodied body. I could see how they where there, but also not there.

This is it! I look up the tall structure, even the right of the building scaring me to death. Am I really about to do this? I mean, you can get sued for this kind of thing right? Hell, if the man I'm after is indeed the owner of this building then if he sued me, my customers would be the least of my worries, shit, the damned bakkery would be the least of my worries. Maybe I should let it go either way, I mean, it can't be the end of the world if I sell my bakery right? I'll just sell it and move to another town, Crescent moon is not the ...
