Read "Souvenirs" by Aldersprig

[ysabetwordsmith]

 My friend aldersprig recently did a livewriting project, Drakeathon.  One result of this was the flash fiction "Souvenirs" which takes place in the same universe as my poetic serial Monster House.  See how several roommates deal with curious events in their house.

The really funny thing?  The metaphysical critters in the house where I live actually do this.  Stuff disappears or moves, but also, sometimes we wind up with stuff that nobody human brought into the house.  That's why I say things like, "I'm a good packrat; I can find what I'm looking for, plus or minus 10%."  The latest utterly wacky occurrence: while my partner and I were getting into bed, my pants somehow moved from the end of the bed to the head of the bed under the covers, while I was already in the bed.  Teleporting pants.  Gotta love it.

We acquire things in moves. Sometimes we can guess where it came from (Anne Rice books, joy), other times (4 crystal goblets. Nice ones) we're completely baffled.

My mom has similar creatures in her home.
