Krew (Byłe drugi draft)

       Telefon zadzwonił o drugiej w nocy.             Ewa spojrzała na wyświetlony identyfikator i poczuła, że jednocześnie ścisnął jej się żołądek i zatrzepotało serce. Westchnęła. Miała nadzieję, że jednak nie zadzwoni.   – Pani prokurator – usłyszała.   – Panie podkomisarzu – mruknęła, zastanawiając się, czym znowu podpadła. Ostatnio byli na „ty”.   Po drugiej stronie rozległ się cichy śmiech.   – Mam nadzieję, że tym razem nie jadłaś kolacji, nie piłaś wina i nie paliłaś – powiedział. – Ale i tak chcesz wziąć jakieś środki przeciwwymiotne. Samochód będzie za pięć minut.   Czyli jednak.   Trochę się łudzili, że to nie będzie początek serii, chociaż oboje mieli już na tyle doświadczenia, żeby wiedzieć, że w Halloween patrzyli raczej na bilet wizytowy, którym ktoś zapowiadał swe przybycie, niż na odosobniony przypadek kompletnego szaleństwa. Odrobina nadziei jednak nigdy nikomu nie zaszkod...

I am not A nice company charming, witty, Smiling and pretty I am dirt, rags and bones. I am madness, barring her teeth in the dark room. I am a wise woman. I paid for wisdom with my own blood

The one with the pumpkins

 - Burn the witch! Burn the witch! - yelled the crowd outside. The wolf looked at the Fairy with barely hidden fear in his eyes. - Are you going to do anything about it soon? - he asked. - They have torches. Lit torches. - Burn the witch! Burn the witch! - yelled the voices. They seemed to be mostly female, and rather young. The Fairy, lying on her favourite chaisee-longue, slowly turned the page of the book she read. - Did you know that chimpanzees can learn to swear, if you teach them sign language? - Oh for fuck's sake! They are going to burn us alive! Do something! - ... And if you give children paper and crayons, they will draw just for the fun of it, but if you offer them a prize, they will engage in the activity for half the time and produce worse pictures... - DO SOMETHING! The Fairy rolled her eyes. The little clock on the mantelpiece started to chime midnight. There was a sudden silence. The wolf put his paws on the windowsill and looked outside.

The 21st century brought with it the abolition of witches. The karmic debt in the previous centuries was usually dealt with by fire. You indebted yourself to the witch, then you waited some time and burned her just before you had to pay.

- Did you know that lip prints are as unique as fingerprints? - Oh? - Yes. I look at this mug and think that it is sort of like your lover's body. She raised her eyebrow. - Mate, honestly, you have plenty of stuff about how the world works to learn. - Like? - Forensics. I look at this mug and think: Shit, if I ever want to kill my lover I have to make sure all drinking containers disappear. His eyes were  suddenly like those of a lost puppy: huge and sad. She furrowed her brow. - I'm sorry, was it a pick up line?
