investigation prodigal raven regency short smugglers sweethearts

Felix returns home in disguise after thirteen years away from home. He plans to catch a smuggler, then take up his viscountcy. He does not expect the smuggler to be Joselyn, his childhood sweetheart. (Short story)

This story was written as a party prize. The winner could choose three things to include in the story (characters, animals, or objects), and a story trope --- a situation or plot line.

I had great fun writing my tale of a lady smuggler, the man sent to bring her to justice, and a loud pet raven. The story trope was that the smuggling was to help the people in her neglected village.

I hope you enjoy it.

SECRET & SCARS by iraverse66

𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐗 𝐉𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐧. In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.

The Vicar's Wife by SEViolet

Full edition of flash short The Proposal. Chapters marked by a * are those edited from the rough draft version as of 1-27-23 Flighty, sweet, naïve Hattie Foster is engaged to the country vicar, Jonathon Forsythe. What could possibly go wrong? ~ The object of Hattie's attention stood quietly at his study window, staring dismally at the green pastureland beyond the small vineyard attached to his property. Normally a picture of quiet refinement, his features were set in a faint scowl, lines marring the skin between his brows. The gentleman sitting in a high back chair behind him was equally somber. "How soon?" "It's hard to say, Jon. With things like these..." the smooth voice left off with a shrug. Lips thinning into a hard line, the vicar turned. "Hard to say? My future hangs by fraying strings, and you say, 'hard to say'?" ~
