Storyteller and Accidental Blogger Chris Hall of luna’s on line won the May 22nd Aether Prompt with her deliciously dark piece, “Woman Scorned No More”:
She holds the golden sphere in the palm of her hand. It glows, warm with all that remains of him. She has him now, resting in the palm of her hand. His soul, trapped. He in her power; not she in his.
Revenge is sweet, she thinks.
She curls her fingers and feels the sphere pulsate. She turns and walks the few steps to the bridge. Leaning on the rail, she watches the greasy, grey river flow beneath her.
She tosses the sphere in the air and catches it. Tosses again; lets it fall.
Goodbye traitorous heart, she whispers.
Congratulations! Now you’re in the running for the 2019 AETHEREAL ENGINEER WRITER SUPPORT PRIZE PACKAGE! How might she, or possibly you, perchance win such fabled treasure as this? Take a look at my weekly Aether Prompts and find out!

Thank you so much for choosing my story, Jason! It was a great picture prompt and super-fun to write.
I shall, of course, be re-blogging – a little showing off does no harm. :)
