《Under a Witches fingernails》10. Time Management
Advertisement
L.E. Verden sat on his porch in a rocking chair. He rocked slowly back and forth. He watched his bubbles feed his crops in his yard.
In this moment contentment washed over him. His wife walked outside holding her pregnant belly, sipping ice tea while handing him a glass.
The sunlight made everything Beautiful. "You know nothing out here is more beautiful then you dear" he told his wife. "oh hush verden" she replied before walking back inside.
Off into the distance he saw a man on his path leading to his front steps. The man was sweating.
His black suit didn't do him any favors. His briefcase was small. "Cant judge a man by his briefcase verden" he thought to him self before
standing up. It took the man several minutes to meet Verden who didnt move a toe. By the time this man got to his front steps he was dretched in sweat and panting he clutched his knees and raised a finger. "One moment sir" the man told verden. Verden grabbed his chin and rubbed it. Verden layed his hand upon his hips and took a deep breathe. "Looks like you dont get out much, In fact young man when is the last time those feet saw dirt? Regardless i care not for what ever you are selling. Matter of fact it's quite rude to walk on a man's property that you dont know, If i didnt have a pregant wife i would take those feet from you and hang your legs off one of them there tree's." there was a long silence before the man raised his head with a smile. "I am not just man L.E. Verden and i dont think anyone in years have talked to me so bravely."
"Why the fuck is that?" Verden asked. "Well i am from time management, And im am here to let you know that there is an open law case on you. There are looking at your timelines very closely. Well if they find something. Your Feet will never set foot on this farm again. And that wife of yours will have to raise that child on her own. And if you get slick at the mouth at me the next time I come out here, Maybe I just tell the factions I dont like what i see. The next thing you know police are in here searching your stuff. They may not find anything but god wouldnt it be convenient now would it." The man said with an evil smurk and finished with a Wink. "I never got your name?" Verden asked with a smile. "My name is Todd." then the man disapeared with the snap of the finger. Verden was extremely mad. he went straight to his basement and when into the last room at the end of the hall. His Study. he said at the desk and picked up the phone. "hello, i would like to see marry in faction one please" he sat and waited. After a few moments He spoke. "What is this? what's going on you said I would never have to worry bout the law again?! And this todd guy kill him."

"It's just for the books just so it doesnt look like we favor anyone. I've already looked at the data they have on you. They have nothing." Marry said with no tone at all in her voice. "It better be that way cause if I ever find out that your trying to do something slick or sly. I will kill all theses plants in here and I dont have the recipe wrote down anywhere. so all theses fruits that make all your lives easier will never be found again. You eat my plants like human mom's drink wine. Are you ready to let your wine go marry. I dont like people snooping around. Fix IT." Verden was yelling by this point. "Your the last person we want to upset Verden" Marry told him before he slammed the phone down. Verden tried to calm himself. he slowly walked upstairs. He sat in the kitchen doorway. thinking bout how the only reason he did any of it was because of his wife, she stood making dinner. she looked back and smile with love. "is everything okay hunny?" she asked him her cheeks rosy. "With you by myside always, are you okay dear? how are you feeling?" verden looked her. Her face looked tired.
"I hope she doesnt remember her past life. Im still scared her daughter will come along and she'll get all her memories back, But if i hadnt saved her and brought her she would've died, no i have no regrets. everything will be fine" verden thought to himself. holding back tears from reaching his eyes.
"Dinner will be done soon verden you just go relax and ill come get you." she spoke to him in a happy tone. "Okay dear" Verden replied then stepped out his front door.
He took a deep breathe and put a barrier spell on his entrie land. he decided doing any bussiness or having anyone coming to the house would be risky and foolish.

Humans Are Evil (completed)
A world of magic, where empires rise and fall, and where civilization is never safe from the perpetual menace of the monsters that roam the land. In this volatile landscape Fera is reborn and must adapt to this new and ever-changing world. She will grasp at whatever opportunities she finds to escape her unfortunate birth as an orphan. Either excelling, or wallowing in self-pity, Fera will question if this world of magic was as fantastical as she initially thought. Note: The story is technically a litRPG, but much less like a game and more akin to real life, for example obtaining a class does not give free skills to the individual, it’s the other way around! Skills are what unlock your class, so an individual who learns magic skills will unlock mage classes, classes then provide passive buffs and stats, in my opinion this makes everything feel more earned so that the power levels in the world are more natural, rather than every single random person being a powerhouse.
