My second collection of microfiction, sometimes dealing with the mundane, but mostly dealing with the magical. Unlike the first collection, the stories in this one are based on inktober prompts.
There wasn't enough time for him to double-check every drawer and every pocket. He only had as long as his accomplice could enthrall the people occupying the hotel, and by the time she dropped the spell, he needed to be out of there.
