Short Stories - Exiled Jack (+more)

Sharp Jealousy (single)

Since I’m here, I had a really great time. The curse that keeps me unable to die has allowed me to do things I would never experience anywhere else: I jumped from the highest rock; I know the tastes of poisons; and fistfighted a gorilla - great time.

However, while taking my morning bath, I saw her - a ghost holding a crossbow. Gods, I miss shooting rabbits with a crossbow! Shooting a bow is not the same. I haven’t seen anyone using a crossbow here, nor have I found a construction recipe. And if I wanted to take the crossbow from the ghost, I’d have to die - which I can’t do because of this curse! I’m so jealous!

Are the gods reminding me that cursing is not for fun? Were they watching me now… while I take a bath?! You! Peeper! Yes you! Stop goggling and run! I’m not a quiet girl, but a insidious devil.
If I get you, you’ll be my rabbit - a target practice.
