The Crow Witch 🌙 @vicorva@social.scribblers.club

New #introductions time!

I'm kind of a mess -- but a friendly one!

I'm an author, a #narrator, and a moon #witch in training.

I talk a lot about my familiar, Merlin the cat.

I post a lot of #writing and #microfiction for free -- mostly cute creatures and monster romance and #cats.

Corva's Curious Compendium: systemless spells, items and oddities for your home game.

She saw on TV that ghosts made things cold, and she’d always had chilly feet at night.

So she found a stone with a hole through the middle and she waited under the covers until the chill made her toes curl.

Gently, she sat up, closing one eye and holding the stone up to the other.

Shimmering and thin as a beam of moonlight, the cat stretched and resettled on her feet.

She smiled and went back to bed, careful not to kick.

She’d always wanted a cat.

‘It’s just a pigeon,’ said the girl. ‘Let it die.’

The boy lifted it with gentle hands. It was too weak to struggle. He could feel its heartbeat against his fingertips. ‘It just needs help, that’s all.’

He nursed it day and night. Warmed it by a lamp, cleaned its wounds. Fed it from his hand. Every day it grew stronger. And larger.

After a week, it was the size of a cat. A month, a dog. It gazed at him with adoring eyes. And one day, it would carry him into the sky.

Joh: 'I'm worried our son is going to be raised by TV'

Nevermind, he's back. Putting on another video because he's mournfully examining the black screen.

Over an hour later and Merlin has finally tired of the magpie videos. He's curling up for sleep next to my desk. ^_^

HUGE smile for the magpie

You've never seen such a slow, deliberate blink

Someone put out cooked pasta with the bird seed.

Merlin is trying to eat the pasta off the screen.

He cried when the video ended so I put another one on. I guess this is my evening plan now XD

I just put the video back on for him. He's so good. :3

We showed Merlin a video of magpies wandering a garden recently and now he's particularly obsessed with screens, regardless of what we're doing.

He's currently watching the words appear in the text box with rapt attention.

They gave her a pet rock as joke. A lonely pet for a lonely woman.

She grew fond of it anyway.

She greeted it every morning when she turned off her alarm.

She rolled it in her hands while she thought.

Sometimes she painted it with bright patterns or cheerful meadow scenes.

When it purred for the first time, she was startled but pleased. It began to follow her to work, rolling tirelessly in her footsteps.

All the love she had given it, it returned tenfold.

Oh! And I have some cute Merlin photos to add to the ko-fi gallery :3

Some things I would like to do this week:

- write and post 3 microfictions
- make a writing update post
- stream Spore

Good morning folk and friends from far and near!

Today I wish you a gentle start to the week ✨

The whole thing has made me feel extremely yucky.
