In Spirit writing prompts
I have no idea if the novel I’m writing for NaNoWriMo is going anywhere or not but I decided to throw out some random bits as story prompts.

- “Looks like at least one of the Seven Hells has officially frozen over,” Teah said with a laugh, as she turned and found her little brother standing in the doorway of her father’s storefront business.
