A story using the words above
In the dingy corner of the tavern, a disheveled man with a soiled face sat, his tattered coat hanging loosely. His cap brim cast a shadow over his sly eyes, which jutted from beneath it with an aloofnessthat made others uneasy. He fiddled with a flyswatter, his sinewy fingers twitching as if sensing a premonition. Outside, the rickety wagon’s axle groaned, its maroon paint peeling like splotches ontothe dirt road. A wispy mayfly buzzed near the parlor window, where a woman with faux composurecurtsied before scurried up the stairs, her antsy movements betraying her calm.
The man staggered to his feet, his curt nod a silent beckoning to the ridge beyond. He hurled a terseremark, his voice rumbling like distant thunder. A lullaby drifted from a spindle bed upstairs, where crocuses and larkspurs sat in a vase, their wispy petals trembling. He trotted outside, his waddleawkward yet deliberate, and plucked a bough from a tree, its snipped end sharp.
In retrospect, it was inexplicable how happenstance had led him here, his abhorrence for decorumclashing with the propriety of the town. Yet, as he unfurled the map, his exasperated sigh hinted at a deeper truth he couldn’t fathom. The docile night hid what lurked beyond, and he maneuveredthrough the shadows, a sly figure under the wispy moonlight.
