Every week we post six lines from a work of ours, a work in progress or part of someone else’s work

` For Pride Month I’m posting snippets from “Office Of the Lost,” a fun new novel written by my friend J. Scott Coatsworth and Kim Fielding. https://www.jscottcoatsworth.com/book/office-of-the-lost/ They alternate chapters, starting with this one from the point of view of Crispin, a finicky fae who works at the otherworldly Office Of the Lost. Crispin doesn’t realize he’s about to have an encounter with someone very messy.

He hummed happily as he worked his way down the Recovered Assets form, filling out every line with careful precision, dipping his quill in the ink pot with exactly the right angle and timing to collect the perfect amount of ink with nary a drop spilt on desk or parchment.

He was barely aware of the sounds of the other desk fae around him, sitting at the hundred or so identical white marble desks extending out from his like blocky petals of some strange stone flower.

Item Recovered? Check.

Item in Good Shape? Check.

Description of Item: Slightly used spelled red oak wand, possibly from the Third Dynasty.

World of Origin? Therrin.

That’s it for this week! See you next week with someone very messy! —-jeff
