Margaret MoonshadowNightly, she enjoyed a brief reign over her little #kingdom behind the counter, the cigarettes and snuff displayed behind her like sentries. It wasn't much but it gave her a sense of peace to order her surroundings, to make change and keep the register balanced. The disordered rising sea several miles away lapped at the shores and people on the brink of losing the little funds they possessed came to her, she who had little also, and she liked to think she gave them a kind of home. #mastoprompt

MH ThaungThe contender stared in horror. "Half the #kingdom?"
"If you succeed, it's no more than you #deserve." The regent's expansive gesture took in slag heaps, rivers of sludge and gaunt figures scurrying across the landscape.
"Ah. I... I've changed my mind."
"As you wish."
After seeing the visitor safely off, the regent dispelled the illusion. They were safe again, for a while.
