Potion of Letting Go

a story about two competing potion shops and the feelings they brew

When the brash young witch released her new Love Potion, it was a blockbuster success. Customers lined up for miles.

The same day, the world-weary apothecary across the street put up signs for her latest creation.

She had no line, no sales, but she was old enough to have loved, lost, and learned.

She knew it was just a matter of time before they'd be back for a Potion of Letting Go.

I launched a Kickstarter for a new deck of worldbuilding prompts last week!

I would be absolutely thrilled if you would consider checking it out, spreading the word, and pledging!
