The illusion worked better on rainy days. The grey sky matched the blacks and whites of the circus tent. A grim procession of performers ground their way through a mournful routine. Applause was discouraged. It worked, though. On leaving everyone agreed how much joy there was in the world. #mpotd

‘Know your place’, they said. So I listened. When I wasn’t working I explored the grounds, the house, the secret places even they didn’t know. I knew my place better than they did and when I finally decided it was time I put them in their place. Some of those secret places are soundproof. #mpotd

A friend of mine works for the nuclear industry. Part of her role is designing signs that indicate the hazard of buried radioactive waste. Not for now, but for post-human species that may occupy the Earth one day. To warn them. Anyway, back to it. This ancient tomb won’t excavate itself. #whistpr

I have no future, I have no past. I live in the moment. This sounds inspirational, but you don’t understand. I flit through shredded time, appearing for a split second before everyone at some point. I am every ghost story ever told. It has taken longer than human history to type this. #mpotd

I scour bazaars, enquire in poor homes and rummage in garbage. The bottles cannot be new. The skill lies in finding one empty yet full of history. When I find the right bottle, I meet the client. The djinn pay well, of course, and I like to give them a good home. Their wish is my command. #mpotd
