It's pronounced Wizzleton, motherfucker!

Thanks, what an awesome thing to say. Then do it! You're a writer as soon as you start. Its not about publishing, or even posting. If its fun and you have something to say, then say it I say.

Hopefully see you around on a prompt response in the not too distant future.

Have a great holidays, however that looks for you!

We decided to land down the street from my parents in a lumber yard. It would be shut on Christmas day, and there was plenty of room to find a place to land away from any prying eyes.

I brushed the frost from my hair that I'd accumulated on the short flight. "How do I look?", I asked.

"As awesome as I predicted", Keres said and leaned down to give me a gentle kiss on my forehead. "Now come, lets go and get this over with."

We walked arm in arm down the street I'd grown up on and I smiled at the thought of childhood me, seeing me walking with this literal Goddess (whatever Keres said about her only being a spirit being and not an actual god). Then something that had been knawing its way around in my mind, finally found a route to the surface.

"Earlier", I began slowly. "What did you mean when you talked about spending time with my kind? Have other humans summoned you before?"

Keres nodded. "Yes. I have always enjoyed having relationships with humans. At least I did until he stopped me".

I let go of her arm, and focussed on the wrong part of that statement, in hindsight. "Relationships! How many women have you been with before me!"

"None", said Keres.

"Oh, but you--"

"It was always men previous to you, Hannah. Until my last partner cursed me. He knew I would move on when he grew tired of me, but he didn't want me to have any other. He cursed me so that I could not lay with another man. I have to say the loophole of being with a woman had not really occurred to me, but it's been delightful."

"Jesus Christ, what am I to you the backup prize?"

Keres stopped walking and turned to me, with hurt in her eyes. "My darling, not at all. What we have has changed my life. I would never have offered to kill the parents of any of my previous partners."

"Thanks, I think", I said.

Keres leaned forward and took hold of my face in her slender, powerful hands. "Listen to my heart, if you don't heed my words", she said and kissed me, until I lost all track of time, space and the prospect of meeting my parents.

"I love you, foolish mortal", she breathed as we broke apart.

"Hhhmmm", I said eloquently and smiled at her, so she knew I was OK.

Keres took my arm again and we walked the last few hundred yards to my door in silence. I pounded on the door hard enough to drown out the blood hammering in my ears.

"Hello dears!", said my Mum as she opened the door. "Come in, come in, you'll let the heat out", she continued bustling back into the hall. I took a deep breath and walked in with Keres behind me, ducking to get through the low old door frame.

"Well now! Isn't this nice!", said mum. "Finally a chance to meet you, Keres!" She stuck out a hand and Keres took it gracefully.

"It is my pleasure", said Keres.

"John!", shouted my Mum as she took our coats. "They are here!".

"Hannah banana!", said my Dad, as he walked out from the kitchen. "You finally bought Ker--", he said then stopped in his tracks.

"Whats the matter with you, John? You look like you've seen a ghost!", said mum to the shellshocked figure of her husband.

"Letum?", said dad finally.

I frowned "What are you--"

"I go by Keres now", said Keres. "The name Letum died with the curse you put on me."

"OK, sure", I said into the phone. "We'll come over after I finish work."

Keres raised an eyebrow. "You are not working today", she said flatly.

"What? No, that's just Keres joking around. She came into work to drop me off some lunch", I said with a glare at my girlfriend. Keres smiled and shrugged and went back to reading Guns and Ammo.

I turned my back to her. "Yeah, OK. Anything you need us to bring? No? OK. Yes. No, I will. Yes, of course the snow chains are on the car. We have done that. I'm not an idiot. OK. Look, Mum come on, I can make my way back to the house without mishap", I said.

"We'll see you and Dad later then. Love you Mum", I said and hung up. Then checked to make sure the call was disconnected.

"FUCK!", I shouted once I was certain I wasn't swearing in my mums earshot.

"You seem vexed", said Keres. "Do you want me to kill them?"

"They are my parents, Keres!"

Keres nodded. "Yes, but they are not immortal like my parents, so you actually could kill them."

"We just need to pay them a visit."

"To kill them."

"NO! How many times have I asked you to kill people for me since we've been together, Keres?"

Keres thought about it for a second, the noble tilt of her nose, and the sharpness of her cheekbones accentuated as she looked up and to the left to help her remember.

"Twice", she replied finally.

"Exactly...wait what?"

"That man that cut us off in traffic last month. And the politician you didn't like, when you were drinking last year."

"You didn't..." I breathed.

"No, of course not. They were a passing inconvenience. The politician died of his own poor choices and the driver is alive as far as I know. But these parents seem to cause you endless stress. I love your kind, Hannah, but humans are so much less fun to spend time with when they are stressed."

I put my hands on my hips. "Well, I can assure you that killing my parents will not make me less stressed!"

"Fair enough", she replied. "Do we need to leave soon? When do you finish not working?"

I put my head in my hands. "Do you have any idea where the snow chains are?", I asked.

Keres shook her head. "No, but I could just fly us there, if there is anywhere nearby to land?"

"OK", I said heading for the stairs. "Are you going to change?" I asked her.

Keres glanced down at the simple tunic dress she was wearing. "What's wrong with this? I am not wearing my armour or weapons. Will this not be acceptable?"

"Can you not just wear something like I would wear?"

Keres nodded and stretched on the couch. Her clothes flickered, shimmered, disappeared for a thrilling moment and then she stood, her long lean frame now encased in stylish jeans and a tasteful top. I smiled to myself at the inherent compliment of the clothes she had chosen.

"Dammit Keres", I said. "I wish I could look so awesome so effortlessly."

Keres smiled and I turned and headed upstairs. "You will also look awesome", she said to my back. "And I will appreciate it all the more for the effort you put into doing it."

Part 2 is below, as for some reason it says its over 10000 characters when it definitely isn't

Looks awesome on this understated board. Great customing!

I know thats going to be Jon Bois before I click it. And I'm still going to watch it again.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Pork Cake?

Pork Cake!

Thanks Spriggan, glad you liked it. I enjoy the concept that people don't even realise how often they are saved, by new technology or medicine, or others actions.

Thanks! Have a good day.

Thanks and Thanks!

Great username as well. I love a bit of Vimes in the wild.

Yeah, and even that not for months. Someone on the WP discord server proposed it, and we all said go do it. But then no-one had any real energy to go and sell it to people, so its basically the 5 people who liked the idea on discord!

Thanks!

This is not my normal direction. I'm more of a r/GoSleep kind of guy!

Based on trauma, yeah, but then kicked up a level in the fantasy land where it's not the person that has been damaged by the experience, but a whole new thing has replaced them.

I'm not sure if this is good or bad? Where I live slow clap would be for sarcastic clapping, but that might be different all over. Hopefully, it's a clap of enjoyment! Have a good one.

Thanks for the Cake Day wishes

Thank you. It's been a while, so good you enjoyed it

Thanks for reading

Thanks. I'm not normally one for ghost story type vibes, but once I decided it would be in a smoky tavern, I couldn't help it.

Thanks, I've been away from writing anything for a few months, so good to be back in the groove.

Thanks! I now need to find some cake.
