unfair ~ freewrite
It is a rowdy saturday night at the Majesty's Inn. The owner is hosting his monthly poker tourney which benefits this evening from the garrison stationed just outside of town. Everyone is in high spirit after the recent retreat of the Stone Dwellers.
Fiendish rock like creatures no bigger than a small child that will swarm and devour man in a moment then scurry back to blend in with the boulders.
Tonight all that is forgotten.
The monthly poker game is a major attraction and some travel for days to attend, and with the extra bodies of war the Inn hardly had standing room.
"The game is about to start, see you later?" I say then wink and turn to go take my seat without waiting for the answer from the barmaid.
I have not attended this game before but like how more and more travel from afar, the news finally reached me too. The prize pool for winning can be considered by some as enough to live a happy life and even those who do not make it to the final nine can win more than a month's wage all without needing to risk a single gem.
The real gem and prize for most is the Inn Keepers' Daughter, Lucy. They have no chance of ever being with her but that was not the lure. Lucy is one of the few remaining mages and the reason this town has kept the Stone Dwellers at bay for so long.
Mages have general abilities as one would expect but also unique ones, Lucy is able to communicate with the Fates. For most people that means a new lease on life but for me, that is one step closer to finding her.
Tonight though, I will reluctantly play the game and hope that fate smiles at me when Lucy chooses someone to hear.
Thanks for the random word generator. It could prove useful in the coming weeks. As could the #freewrite community!
As to your story, I have @samsmith1971 to thank for bringing me here. It's always fun to explore one post and then find yourself in another one. Both connected but totally different.
I'm intrigued to find out what is unfair so I guess I'll have to hop over "reluctantly" to your other freewrite and find out how this very delightful ditty plays out.
!PIZZA
This is my first time seeing your post. I'm going to attempt this freewrite thingy and see where it goes. Thank you for inspiring me.
Good luck, I will look for your post, it can be surprising what your mind conjures when you don't know what will come.
It's always so fun to read one of your fictions. My favorite stories of yours is when they touch on the magical. I can tell it's one of your favorite ways to write. But i think you cheated with those random word generators. lol making one a title? hmmm think that was "unfair" lol and then you didn't use all 5? Two were missing from the story hehe
I would wonder how the story continues.. hehehe but I know that's not your style. I'll just imagine it ends with "and they all lived happily ever after"
hehe
very unpenlike. 😄
haha you are even more pedantic than me🤣🤣🤣
hahahahahahahaha NO.
the first.... THREE sentences were very lovey and nice.
nevermind about the rest LOL
You crack me up!
hahahahahahaha... i crack myself up too!
i'm glad two of us find me funny!!!
@penderis finds me insufferable ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
hehe yes I am sure more than two!
Yep, you can count me in that category. So that makes 3!
3 muskateers
3 blind mice
3 stooges
You take your pick.
But, I bet if we wait for a little bit, there'll be 4.
hehe four or more!
I kinda forgot what the words were, so guess now I have to write more to use them all.
hehehehe well at least they got you started!

Lucy must be a really beautiful lady seeing that everyone wants to be with her.
Just dropping by to know how you are doing. Hope you are having fun with the challenge?
Nice team banner, I think @samsmith1971 will be jealous. Men are simple I guess, she could just be rich and ugly also.
!LOLZ ... it is an awesome team banner❣️ Not jealous in the least... inspired perhaps haha... I am still staring at my screen wondering what to write, Pen 🙄🙄🙄 OK! I guess I have to take my own advice... most dangerous writing app it is! Thanks for the distraction from my own stagnating thoughts !PIZZA (do you want a banner for next week then Pen-Pen? 🤗)

Go get Lucy!
I think the dude too much of a nerd, and might need some dutch courage.
Interesting reading a fiction from you. I guess there are many sides to Penderis I am yet to discover. This was nicely written.
Hmmm did I not write fiction on uptrennd? Then again I think I probably only ranted about the fiction which was moderation there :P !PIZZA
Well I can't remember if you wrote fiction on uptrennd. This is the first I'd see and I loved it and no it doesn't sound like a rant to me
