In honor of the release, I have a story snippet for you! Check it out!
The chief must have known what I was up to because when we got there the body had been removed. The doors were locked. As if a locked door ever stopped me before. I leaned over to the glass doors and cupped my hands around my eyes. While they have removed the body, they hadn’t cleaned up the mess. I could see the remnants of rope still tied to the rafters.
I looked around and saw the street was empty. It was the main road, and there was no telling who would drive by. I told Angelo to heel, as I walked round the back of the store. I found another locked door. It looked like a service entrance. I considered opening the travel altar that I kept for my magical on the go needs. It didn’t seem like the situation would require it.
I whispered an access spell as I turned the knob. I heard the tumblers fall into place and the door fell open. I headed inside with Angelo. We came to a stop on the spot where I assumed Leo’s body had been. There was definitely a loop of rope over the rafter. I heard a loud licking sound and looked down to see Angelo licking the floor.
“No,” I shouted, pulling him back away from the mess.
Who knows what the mess could have been. For all, I know the guy could’ve soiled himself. Yuck.
As I pulled him back, I bumped into the counter dropping container of expensive organic flour onto the floor. The flower who fell in the direction of the spot Angelo had been licking. Letters were starting to take shape. There was some kind of substance on the floor. I squatted down and took a whiff. It smelled like honey. No wonder Angelo was licking it up.
It said kleftis.
I had no idea what that meant, but I got a very strong feeling that it was Greek. I slipped my phone out of my pocket and took a photo. I quickly put it away. I looked around the shop. Judging by the ingredients, this had to be the place Anita had come for ingredients for the test bake. Another coincidence.
This one is a bit longer than the last one. Every story I write seems to be a bit longer. I hope you like it! You can find Honey Buns, Hexes, and Hanging (Witchy Bakery Book 2)
