Cat’s Claw | A 100 Word Story
#837 - 5 The Hierophant | The Banned Books Tarot

“Sorry, mister. I was just about to lock up,” the owner said. No reply. “Listen, if I could stay open later, I would. But my wife wouldn’t hear of it—“ he stopped short when he noticed the traveler’s blood-soaked hand, poorly wrapped in a bandage.
“Holy mother, what happened to you? Maybe I can get you one drink?”
“Save your drink for when I’m gone,” the traveler said.
