A decade ago when Isabel鈥檚 husband Max had died, they鈥檇 moved in together and merged their possessions. Neither sister brought any fussy teapots, canaries, sachets, or doilies, but lots of other stuff had to either stay or go. Looking at the lime green armchair gave Alma the willies. Her suggestion to slipcover it in a more subdued color had garnered Isabel鈥檚 frosty stare, and Alma had dropped the matter.”

鈥淣obody鈥檚 favorite book is a thesaurus!鈥� Granny argued with a thick leather-backed tome as he tried to wrestle it back to the shelf where it belonged. 鈥淓specially an out of date dinosaur like you!鈥�

But the book wouldn鈥檛 budge. It knew in its heart that someone somewhere was looking for another word for 鈥渁mazing,鈥� and it would be the one to help them. And that the experience would be awesome, incredible, and wonderful.”

“The dust bunny warrior emerged from the vacuum cleaner bag like a butterfly from a cocoon. It surveyed the appliance store, noticing the weapons of the broom wielders all around him. Hoover, Kirby, Dirt Devil, all familiar names to a warrior. Many of its tribe had fallen to war machines such as these.

The dust bunny felt the static of hatred deep in its fluff. Somehow through fate or good fortune it had managed to enter the armory of the broom wielders undetected. Such an opportunity could not be wasted.

“His home was cozy and smelled good, and had the feeling of stuff without the feeling of clutter. Every vase was a gift from someone special and every book was dog-eared.

Just being in the apartment made Lydia feel like something with a really charming backstory.”
