Runt Odel felt invigorated.
She was home from a long night of invisibility and song. Standing before the mirror just inside her front door, she removed her galoshes, her drab coat, and her stodgy hat. Her scruffy cat Frederick brushed his prickly fur along her shins as he always did whenever she returned home, expecting to be fed soon. The night was shaping up to be just another night at home until…
Frederick arched his back, screeched, and darted away into his hiding place under the couch.
“Now what could have spooked him like that?” Runt Odel muttered as she hung her magic scarf next to her hat.
Turning back to the mirror, she had quite a shock of her own. Gone was the chubby, dumpy, grumpy looking Runt Odel of old, and in her stead stood a beautiful woman! The scarf, which rendered Runt Odel invisible and singing while she wore it, had transfigured her permanently as well!
Her once stubby neck was now long and slender. Her visage, previously dour and surly, was startlingly sophisticated, with just the right touch of displeased.
Runt Odel was a hottie.
“Perhaps now my beloved Sacrum Suarlieu will give me the time of day” she said to her reflection.
Runt Odel felt invigorated.
Torundel the Shitposter. Others who have joined in the fun, and their characters, are Ren du Lot, the Shit LawyerNordlute, the Shit SysadminMort, The Shit ManagerBarbara The Count's Ex-wifeDaphne the definitely not DilettanteThis is my fourth installment to a growing body of loosely related works originated by @katharsisdrill and his character, by @vcelier, by @steevc, by @slobberchops, by @prayzz, and by @donnadavisart.
These stories tend to be comprised of exactly 211 words, begin with the main character's name, and begin and end with the same sentence, although some liberties have been taken.

Thank you!!!
With pleasure!
Lots of magical stuff going on here. I love how the various authors have such different approaches.
It's so much fun. Thanks for stopping by.
Will we be seeing any more of Nordlute?
Haha, great fun :)
It really is, and not nearly as easy as it seems. Give it a whirl!
"Runt Odel was a hottie." Hahaha, that made me laugh. Great timing.
Yeah that one made ME laugh, thanks for liking it.
I'm especially happy with Sacrum Suarlieu
Frederick the cat - love him too!!!
Now to get this Sacrum Suarlieu to feel the love, too...if he's worthy.
Fun story!!Ooh, finally, the magic scarf is back - and we get to see the results. #LOVE it!!
Thanks! It sure is fun to write these. And I love the word limit.
I think he will be worthy, I haven't met him yet.
LOL - that title! - Runt Odel Scares Her Cat
I'm so glad you're having fun writing!! #love it Glad you're having fun with these!! I need to get back into writing - #fun stuff, not dark stuff. Someone recently suggested I write a book on my sister (murdered at almost 19 in 1975). Not sure I'll ever want to "go there." Been there all month, stupidly enough, having sworn off it for a while, this futile search for clues and hoping the case can be solved, and smoking out the villains. Real Life Worse Than Fiction - eh. Maybe I'll go paint cats. A young art teacher from FB's Quarantine Cats page sent me photos to work from and I need to get started on two more wood slices!! (Sorry for the long derailment) - Again,
I understand not wanting to go there, you have already been there. Awful. Paint cats!!! I like cats.
Apparently I was mistaken. Things just keep getting better for our fair heroine! Now she's fair outside as well as in! (Assuming, for the sake of politeness, if for no other reason, that she was always fair on the inside).
How long can this run of good fortune possibly last?
Stick with the bulls Runt! Dodge the bears!
