Mistress Elsha watched as each ficleteer picked up their pens and began scribbling furiously.

Ana was concentrating so hard on her story, her tongue was sticking out of the corner of her mouth and she didn’t notice when her body began to fade. She sat up and smiled at all of us, though only I and Orange actually saw her, and she was gone with a pop!.

ALRO laughed and then he too faded out of the black hole, smile last, like the Cheshire Cat.

G2 chuckled at him and continued writing. TBS began fading and chaka managed to have one arm fade away, and stopped writing to admire herself.

I looked at my board. I had written one sentence.
Elsha was staring at her whiteboard, wondering what to write, when a wish came to her.

But she had no idea what that wish was. She decided to make up her mind, once and for all!

She stood and yelled. “I’m overthinking things! That’s it! Orange, I do NOT believe in Fairies!”

Elsha disappeared.
“Uh-oh.” G2 stared into the space where Elsha was.
“I need to change my story!”
