Thinking about a hurt & comfort fic with Shanks & Mihawk x reader. fem pronouns and fem presenting. Black reader in mind.
Synopsis:
Reader comes home from work more tired and upset than usual. Her partners want her to open up but she lashes out and goes a little too far.
To her surprise they are understanding and it breaks the damn. They comfort her and talk it out.
Angst, sfw, fluff.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
It was another hard day of work. You were pissed and overwhelmed to say the least. 12 hours of emails, meetings, reviewing notes and for what…for it to start all over again.
The door to the train opened with a familiar ding and in no time you were walking home angry.
As soon as you opened the door, your red headed lover glanced over at you, eyes shining with admiration and excitement.
He practically fell over on his feet to great you. Sometimes Shanks’ feet too big for his lengthly body.
And as soon as you could begin to say the word, “Hi”, his arms were around you. His red head tucked between your shoulder and neck. You could smell tonights dinner, nicotine, wine — curiosity of your other lover— and sandlewood.
You would hug back but your arms were occupied by your workbag and take out.
“Hi love”, he squeezed your body closer to him, as if sensing something was off. He kissed the side of your mouth.
“Hey”, you answered back absentmindedly. You shook outta his arms and put your stuff down oh the couch.
Shanks was taken aback a bit but familiarized with your cold, repressed anger. He stood with his hands in his pockets, “Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, sure, don’t worry”, the words came out too gruff—to rushed to be believed. You hoped he wouldn’t press you. So you changed the subject.
“Where’s Mihawk?”
“In his study, he’s still working and asked me explicitly to not pester”, he said smiling the whole time.
You raised an eyebrow. The redhead’s eyes looked wicked.
“I’m shocked you’re not pouting.”
He chuckled and you couldn’t help but feel a smile crack across your face.
“Hey why haven’t you kissed me hello yet.”
You sighed. “I’m really not in the mood, for this Shanks. I just need to decompress for a second.”
You began to take documents, your uneaten lunch, and thermos out of your purse.
“You didn’t eat again today, babe? That’s the third time this week.”
You groaned aloud this time. Angry.
“I didn’t have the time to again. I’m sorry, okay? Is that sufficient enough of an explanation for you?”
You crossed over to the kitchen, Shanks didn’t follow. Staring into the hum of the refrigerator you gave yourself a pause.
“Look I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to lash out at you like that”.
He didn’t answer.
“Shanks?”, you cocked a head from the kitchen.
He stood there absentmindedly texting, his hand in his grey sweat-pant pocket. You took him in: standing barefoot in your warm home dazzling in light. His soft pink t-shirt doing little to hide his muscles.
“I said I’m sorry”.
“I know sweetheart, but we need to talk. And I mean we, not just you and I.”
You groaned again.
“About. What!?” Your own voice shocked yourself.
Shanks frowned, “Calm down”, he instantly regretted his remark.
You could feel your blood pressure boiling up, “Calm down?! Calm down?! If you even KNEW what kinda shit I wad going through you would not be telling me to calm down. I-“
You stopped at an instant, “please I just need my space and I promise I’ll be good”, your rubbed your fingers to your temples trying to stop tears from falling. You covered your face.
You were embarrassed. You felt like a failure for crying.
“What’s all this shouting for? I’m supposed to be in a meeting.”
Mihawk stared at you, frowning deeply. Your stomach twisted.
You remember the first time something like this happened. The disappointment in both of their faces. You attacked first, “Of course you’re in a meeting. You’re always working late and then getting on my case for working late.”
“People in healthy relationships are supposed to be able to talk freely. However if you need space we’ll accommodate, freely.”
“Fuck you.” You didn’t even know why you were mad anymore but this conversation tired you immediately. Spinning around, crossed over from the kitchen, to grab the screen door walk back outside. It was nearly 10 pm, the fall air crisper than usual. You lamented not bringing a blanket out to escape.
Sitting down on a lawn chair you stared at the sky and tried to calm down.
All you needed was the perfect song to escape to. Scooping out your phone and headphones from your tan jacket, you searched for Spotify.
You heard a ping and immediately tensed. You felt sick.
It was not a “ we need to talk” or “I’m breaking up with you”. No.
I love you. I love you.
Two separate texts from the most wonderful, supportive, and understanding lovers of all time.
You wanted to throw up, cry, scream, but instead you did what you always do: shut down.
Minutes pass you remain panicked.
“Darling I think it’s time you come inside. It’s nearly midnight.”
You glance over your shoulder and stare brown eyes into golden eyes. The raven haired man looked sad — a rare occurrence in your relationship. Had you done that?
Had you caused them to worry? You felt sicker.
“I’m sorry.”
He held a hand out. You couldn’t accept it.
“Love please. We don’t have to talk about it at all, but don’t shut us out like this. Come.”
You squeezed your eyes shut, trying to stop the tears from flowing freely. You had been distant, distracted, and lashed out at your two lovers simply for just caring. Even turning away back rubs from them. You couldn’t remember the last time you’d ask them how their day was or just sat in a comfortable silence with them. Your squeezed your eyes tighter. Hands pulling at your hair.
Not only were you a failure of a worker, you were a failure at love.
“Hey stop that now”, it was barely a whisper.
When you opened your eyes, you saw your tears falling. Your shame. But you could feel Mihawk’s thumb wiping those pesky tears of shame slowly.
He whisks you into his arms. Suddenly you were back in the living room, lying atop him on your plush couch. You didn’t notice it at first but you were earnestly shaking. You feel a hand at your back —Shanks— rubbing smooth circles. The dam broke loose:
“I’m sorry. I ruined everything. I ruined dinner. I ruined work. I ruined our relationship. I’m not good at anything but getting frustrated and giving up. I’m running the only thing I love every night and I can’t fix it. My whole life, I’ve been waiting to be loved to matter to feel important and I can’t stop fucking myself over.”
Mihawk looked down at his young lover before glancing over at Shanks.
“You don’t to have it all figured out already. Please give yourself more credit than that.”
You started crying again but this time into Mihawk’s silken clad chest.
“Let’s get you into the bath. Hmm?”
He carried you the whole way there. Only setting you down to strip himself, before plunging in the water.
Shanks stripped you of your clothes. Starring reverently at your body and then at your exhausted face.
Before placing you gently in the bathtub between Mihawk’s waiting legs. The deep color of your skin contrasting beautifully against the raven haired man’s pale skin.
He couldn’t help it. He had to kiss you both.
“Don’t get any ideas now, darling”.
Shanks winked, before stripping down quickly and joining the bath beside you.
“Wouldn’t dream of it, my dear”. You normally would laugh at such an outrageous lie, but you couldn’t even bring yourself to smile.
“This is the longest I’ve ever seen you cry and I know you don’t feel like talking, but at you okay?”
“Mmm..”
“That’s fair perfect answer, princess. Im gonna start with washing your front now?”
You felt Mihawk kiss the shell of your ear, as Shanks washed you gently all over.
A fresh wave of tears spilled. “Turn over”.
Mihawk could get a clearer view of your face now. Usually he would feel annoyed at someone this emotional and irrational but with you he immediately felt the need to protect and sooth.
He kissed underneath your eyes, then your nose, then your mouth before deepening the kiss. You completely stilled lost in the sensation and hand leaning against the raven haired man’s smooth chest.
“What happened to not getting any ideas?”, Shanks grinned. You broke apart from the kiss.
Mihawk rolled his eyes, “Unlike you, I can control myself.”
Shanks over-exaggerated a gasp, “You wounded me”.
You smiled at your silly lovers’ antics. Finally coming back to yourself a bit but too tired to keep up.
“I’m willing to talk a bit”, you yawned. Maybe having a fried brain was the key to opening up.
“Tomorrow my love. Lets stay in and catch up. You deserve that much.”
“Now it’s off to bed for you.”
Mihawk lathered each of his lovers’ skin in rich oils and body butters. Shanks wrapped you delicately in a fluffy robe. The raven haired man, held his hands out to guide you both to the master bedroom.
“Sleep”, he commanded.
And so you did, snuggled in the warmth of the two men.
Beloved.

Reminiscence of the Unfinished Wine - Chapter 2
Tumblr media
🍷 September seasonal permanent event; banner characters Shylock, Murr, Bradley; 2022/09/11 - 2022/09/19 JST 🍷 special thanks to keyk for the raws, and rusty for catching a couple errors!
Chapter 2
[Location: Manor bar, night]
Rutile: Are you saying you took that without permission? That won't do! You have to go back and pay properly.
Bradley: Payin' the price would make me a pretty shitty bandit, though, wouldn'it? Here, tell ya what. Y'all can keep the empty bottle.
Bradley tossed the bottle over the bar, and Shylock gracefully caught it in a swirl of his pipe's smoke. Furrowing his brows, he quietly examined the label.
Shylock: The date inscribed here… This is certainly this year's wine.
Shylock: The harvest festival seems to be proceeding apace, and production delays or mishaps are not to blame for the wine's absence..
Nero: Ya think he just, uh, forgot to send it?
Shylock: It's difficult to imagine. For as long as this arrangement has stood, Bacchus has never failed to send his wine for my review, even as the years marched steadily onwards.
Shylock: Even in the throes of illness, at a time when he was on the verge of turning to stone, he still made sure to send me a letter - one wherein he passionately described his confidence in that year's work.
Shylock honestly seemed to be at a loss as to why he hadn't heard a word from Bacchus. As he explained the situation, I tilted my head in thought.
Akira: (If it's really such an important exchange… then why hasn't Bacchus sent any wine this year?)
Shylock: …That said, waiting for wine that will never arrive is no way to find the truth of the matter.
Shylock: Tomorrow I shall go pay a visit to Bacchus myself. For this would be a most troubling, abrupt way for a long-standing tradition to come to an end.
Murr: You're not goin' anywhere without meeeee!
Boing! Murr leapt up and stood on one of the barstools along the counter.
Murr: Did you even hear a word our buddy Brad said? The town where Bacchus lives is having their grape harvest festival!
Murr: It'll be super duper fun! During the festival, along with tons of high-class wine, there'll be tasty grape treats and even grape-stomping events! C'mon, let's all go together!
Rutile: Wow, a grape harvest festival sounds like so much fun…!
Akira: Erm… but is it really okay? Shylock, this errand is important to you, and I wouldn't want us to interfere.
Shylock: Of course, you are more than welcome to accompany me. You referred to it as an "errand", but I feel that it's closer to meeting up with a dear friend.
Shylock: The festival will only get more exciting with an energetic, bustling crowd - and, most importantly, I would be truly happy if you all came along.
As though beckoning to our very hearts, Shylock's impossibly enticing smile had Rutile and I nodding excitedly.
Akira: Thank you very much, Shylock. If that's the case, then I would love to go to the harvest festival…!
Rutile: Count me in too, please! Mr. Faust, Mr. Nero, will you two be joining us?
Faust: I can't say I'm not tempted by Bacchus wine, but considering it's a wine festival in Western country… It sounds like it'll be rather hectic. Er, lively. 
Nero: Yeah, but it's not every day ya get the chance to taste real-deal Bacchus wine…
Faust & Nero: Hmmmm…
Akira: (They both look so deeply conflicted…)
Arthur: Can we really do grape stomping too? I feel as though I've read about the tradition before. I think it was something to do with stepping on grapes while singing…
Murr: Yeah, I've done it myself! I don't remember any of the songs we sang, but I remember jumping and stomping and squishing up the grapes aaaall night!
Arthur: As expected, the well-traveled Murr has had an impressive variety of experiences. So when you step on the grapes, are you barefoot?
Murr: Naturally! And then the soles of your feet get all purpley wine-stained! It feels like I'm turning into one of the grapes!
Arthur: That sounds amazing! I used to enjoy making mud footprints when I was a child, but I have yet to experience making wine footprints.
Arthur: Master Oz, I would be very happy if you were to join us. It sounds like a unique, exciting experience that doesn't come about very often.
Oz: If you wish to go, you can go on your own.
Shylock: If I may add, there is a Bacchus wine cellar in the town. Over time, countless rare and delectable wines have accumulated in Bacchus's own archives. In that way, along with enjoying fine wines, you may revel in the sublime time you spend making your choice.
Arthur: Oh, and Master Oz…
Arthur: I'm not old enough to drink wine yet, but… I would really like it if you would help choose a wine for me to drink when I grow up.
Oz: ……
Oz: Okay.
Whether they were attracted by the promise of wine, excited by the thrill of a festival, or just being tugged along by the momentum of the group -- the number of people in our party steadily increased.
Then, Murr suddenly focused back on Bradley, as if remembering something.
Murr: By the way, Brad -- how's this year's Bacchus wine?
Brad: Oh, ya want my opinion? I really think it was --
Shylock: --Shh.
Shylock pressed one finger against his own mouth, his lips parted as though they still carried the taste of something sweet. His deep red eyes, the color of late-summer fruit at the height of ripeness, narrowed teasingly.
Shylock: For the moment, please keep your answer secured in your heart. We have yet to see if my tongue reaches the same conclusion.
Bradley: …….
For an intense moment, their gazes intertwined. Then, after a silence as meaningful as if they were sharing an unspoken secret, Shylock let his fingers slowly drift away from his lips.
Seeing this, the corner of Bradley's mouth pulled into a grin.
Bradley: Interesting. Guess I'll be goin' with ya tomorrow.
Bradley: I look' forward to hearin' yer thoughts on this one, barkeep.
The next day. 
After a scenic broom ride from the Western elevator tower, we arrived at our destination in the countryside.
[Location: Western wine town, daytime]
Akira: Wow… the air smells amazing.
Oz: Yes. Because of the grapes.
The town was small and rural. Quaint brick buildings were clustered cozily together, and lush vineyards stretched out in every direction.
The main street was lined with shops, and decorative grape vines twisted up the walls and over roofs. The atmosphere radiated simplicity and pleasantness, and the aroma of sweet grapes filled the air.
Akira: Ah, and these matching outfits are perfect, too.
Shylock: These garments are in the traditional style of this area's harvest festival. We Western wizards prepared them to help immerse everyone in the thriving festive spirit.
Rutile: Thank you very much, Mr. Shylock. The vibrant colors are so enchanting!
Murr: Around here, adults and kids alike wear burgundy shades for grape harvest festivals. 'Cuz then if you spill wine or get splattered by the flying grapes, the clothes won't show the stain!
Nero: Uh, can ya run that by me again?
Faust: Flying grapes?
Bradley: At ragers like this, once yer drunk off yer ass, folks always start peltin' eachother with grapes. Mr. Barkeep was tellin' me about it yesterday.
Bradley: Squishin' up the runty fruit after the harvest is apparently s'posed to make for a killer crop next year. Some kinda superstition.
Bradley: But I guess, bein' shitfaced 'n all, they can't tell if the grapes are bein' thrown or if they're flyin' on their own.
Arthur: Ahaha!
Rutile: That sounds like a blast!
Just like Bradley said, the town was bustling with preparations for the harvest season.
Residents were all working hard, doing things like putting up flyers, hefting around casks of wine, and so on.
Akira: (It's chaotic and lively, like pre-festival activities in my world… It kind of creates its own unique sense of excitement, doesn't it?)
Just then, an older gentleman crossed the street before us, carrying a heavy-looking tray of glassware. 
Before I even thought to offer him assistance, he stumbled, and the precariously tray of glasses tipped over. Akira: Oh --!

Ya know what, while I'm at it imma spill some more plants knowledge I know. One of the biggest dangerous for insects is destruction of habits, and you know what? There is in fact something you can do about that easily if you happen to have a lawn.
Get rid of your grass, yeah you heard me, your grass, toss it. You want something nice and green to make your lawn out of? Go for moss, it's soft, keeps your soil damp and is fun to walk barefoot on. Even better than that if you want something pretty. Go get some wildflower mixed seeds and just, scattered them all over. Pollinators get nectar and more habitat, you get a yard of pretty flowers and to see bugs like ladybugs, bees, and butterflies visit.
Got dandelions in your yard? Leave them there. This is a grand misconception about dandelions calling them nothing but weeds. They are wrong. For one thing you can eat the leaves and flowers, they're a medical plant, they're a source of nutrition. Instead of ranting about them here have some more articles.
First off, most important information. A medical article written by a doc and reviewed by another. Don't just jump into the other articles before reading this one because this one is very important if you plan to ingest them. It gives you some info on, Benefits and Uses, Possible Side Effects, Precautions, Dosage and Interactions. Before adding anything like this to your diet you need to know how it would affect your health and what the side effects may be. Be smart and talk to a doc.
Eating them is not the only thing you can do with them. As discussed in the other two articles. Any of those 'im using natural herbal, remedies, I'm the professional and you should listen to me despite the fact I have no medical training or background, I'm better than a doctor'? Don't listen. Talk to a doctor because things you eat can affect your medication among other things. This first article is just about ingestion.
And again like with any herb eating it isn't the only use for it as the second and third article will tell you. Biggest point that I'll go ahead and spoil a little bit about dandelions is they are actually good for your lawn. Both the second and third article will tell you why.

I remember suddenly when I was volunteering at this prep school with some kids and one of them could not figure out my gender so he called me “Mister Lady” which was definitely not intended to be a compliment but nonetheless made me feel FANTASTIC bc he wouldn’t call me anything else.

I know June isn’t even around the corner yet but blargh I am already seeing the comments that are like “I’m bi and afraid that if I go to pride with my boyfriend people will tell me I don’t belong there” and lemme just say like. They will not. First, bc there will be straight couples at the pride parade. Second, bc there will be other bi or multisexual people there repping their flags and excited to see you. And third, because pride at this point is an advertising opportunity for like Bank of America or Barefoot Wine and your money spends just the same regardless.

BOOK REVIEW: P.L. McMillan's Sisters of the Crimson Vine
Tumblr media
by Elizabeth Broadbent, Staff Writer.
There’s a certain uncanniness to nuns. Their habits and wimples subsume identity; they’re set apart, tied by their vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They hold the world at an almost timelessness remove. In Sisters of the Crimson Vine (Timber Ghost Press, 2022), P. L. McMillan nails those creepy vibes. She captures the visceral weirdness and spookiness of the Catholic Church—maybe it’s best to say the Church’s mystery, both as narrative and theology.
If you didn’t grow up Catholic, the Church is a harrowing confusion of strange ritual. Sisters is enough to set my old Catholic school nuns on an extended rant about faith, respect, and chastity (which is to say that former Catholics will catch something gleeful about it). 
After protag Mr. Ainsworth wrecks his car, he wakes up in a strange convent where barefoot nuns dote over him, then ply him with the homemade wine. Sister Helena Rose, a pretty woman with uncovered blonde hair, seems particularly devoted. But there’s a problem: just as a villager brought Ainsworth to them, some priests showed up on a mission to set the nuns straight. They haven’t been kicking the Church any profits for their wine sales, and “musty-smelling” Father Griffith has arrived from London to audit their finances.
Caught between his growing loyalty to the nuns and the priests’ presumptions, Ainsworth has to choose: are the sisters good, or something else? And what’s with that wine?
McMillan’s masterful at character, and she does a fantastic job of making Sister Helena Rose the real heart of the novel. By eclipsing Ainsworth, she emphasizes both his passivity and her own vitality. Her evocation of heat-soaked lassitude underscores the novel’s tone, and that setting underscores both theme and mood, recreating the effects of the nuns’ wine. This novel examines the hypocrisy of the Catholic (it sort of has to), and McMillan delivers the daring finish you were hoping for, but not in the way you’d expect. 
As an ex-Catholic, I really did take some vicious glee in this book. The nuns are what I always wanted nuns to be: daring, vivid, devoted to each other rather than the Church. The priests are fussy rule-sticklers, the type I always resented; and the protag, wonderfully vague, is easy for the reader to identify with. I’ve rarely seen an author pull off this type of characterization (rules say that the protag has to be interesting). It’s a Nick Carraway type of move, and McMillan nails it. 
With its fast, twisting plot, this novel never went in predictable directions, and McMillan’s a sure driver. Ex-Catholic or not, you’ll love these nuns as much as I did. Read this with a glass of red wine at your elbow.

Todays Wine Is..
Barefoot Boxed Sunset Red Blend
Less than $20
ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE

Once again, this wine was not of my picking, and was instead one of my Mother’s usual choices. She usually goes for the Barefoot boxed wines and usually I’m pretty partial to them; they don’t taste too bad and they definitely do the job! However, my mother suddenly started ordering this specific flavor, and I’m not sure if it’s because she began taking a genuine liking to it, because I could not glean a single reason to enjoy this wine. This wine is truly the Devil incarnate, satan himself injected gallons of despicably sour, hot, bitter seed into a vat of aged grape juice, boxed it, and sold it directly to the human race one night because he was bored and wanted to get a rise out of watching mere mortals suffer trying to chase pleasure so desperately they sip through this absolute wretched acid waste by force.
The only way I can enjoy this wine is by mixing it with a juice of some kind, which I will admit, is not one of my proudest moments. Wine should be respected, enjoyed and praised as it without help, indulged entirely as she comes without aid. And yet I simply couldn’t help it, it was wine after all, it needed to be drank… drunk? Me wanted feel funny off the silly juice OKAY? I’ve been mixing it with dollar store orange banana strawberry juice or lemonade, and it’s helped significantly. I served some to a friend during his visit without notifying him about my concoction and he exclaimed, “wow! this wine is really delicious.” What a fool. I could never subject my sweet friend to this wine virgin, it would ruin my credibility. I’m so ashamed, but it had to be done.
Overall Rating
Anyhow, if my ramblings prior didn’t make it clear, the wine alone can’t possibly get anything above an INCREDIBLY RARE 0/10. I have to give credit where credit is due though, it is impossible to create such a revolting drink. Maybe this was all a secret experiment? To create the worst wine known to man? Sell it and get a laugh at the expensive of wine moms all around the country? Who knows.
Barefoot, if you’re reading this… suck my nards, man. What’s wrong you with?
Drinking Buddy:
Its kind of hard to pinpoint a drinking buddy this time around, I’ve had many over the course of my time with this box of eldritch horrors; My aforementioned friend, several unfinished commissions im slaving through… But I’ve been putting off my review of this one for some time, waiting for the right state of mind where I could truly express all my thoughts about this drink to no one but myself (satisfying yourself with your work is most important, of course). So I poured myself yet another mixture that I just finished enjoying this morning with Trigun in the background, so I guess I’ll count it as my drinking buddy for this entry.
I only started Trigun yesterday and have made it around to roughly around half of the entire series, though it is only 27? Episodes, so it isn’t much of a feat. I was looking for a new piece of media to watch while I finished my art commissions, and had the hankering to begin a new anime that I’ve been wanting to watch for a while. I added Trigun to my Hulu watchlist without any prior knowledge of the series beyond the name. Judging by the synopsis and the thumbnail, it looked to be more of a serious, older anime, and I expected to get more of a convoluted and early mysterious, lore heavy, and emotionally strenuous series with very little humor involved. However, I was PLEASANTLY surprised! This serious has been a treat, with a humor heavy plot and a simple to grasp, semi-episodic beginning that I found myself getting a good laugh at, and soon became incredibly invested at the sprinkles of lore and powerful overarching message reinforced at the end of every episode of forgiveness and the fight for peace, even at the expensive of your livelihood. The relentless fight for peace despite the how taxing dealing with the evils of the world is leaves a very inspiring message, even if left by the worlds most pathetic womanizing loser ever (said affectionately of course). I can’t wait to finish the series, as I’m currently watching episode 14 right now, albeit a bit tipsy.

Well that’s it. Fuck barefoot, and god bless Vash the Stampede.

It’s not to be shared during polite conversation. Or, any conversation for that matter. 
It’s the type of talk shared with barely moving lips and side glances to ensure that there is no one to accidentally overhear. And, only when you’re confident, you let the words fall, “But, you did see them, right?” 
It’s always dark in the house. The windows face the North and South, and you’re quite proud of the trees in the yard. They provide ample shade during the Summer while keeping any sunlight entering the house at bay. That’s just fine for you; it was preferred.
This was a gradual change. New job, new routine, new fears. 
Before, you rose and slept with the sun: groggy mornings spent brewing coffee with just the light from over the sink and evenings had the ambience of desk lamps. While sunlight didn’t pool in, it was enough to complete every daily task. As it grew truly dark, it was always time for bed. 
But, that’s not to say that they weren’t there. Or, even that they were never noticed. They were just explained away.
A quick turn of the head, second guessing the figure in the doorway, and walking away with the assumption it was just a trick of the eyes. Grabbing water at 3AM and wondering why you could move so freely with sleep paralysis. The long paused thought as you tried to explain away why an item was moved when you were not present. 
This new job was suppose to be a blessing. It was a complete change - you would leave the house at midday and return home just a few hours shy of midnight. You thought you liked night - it always seemed as if it was quiet, calm, easily managed. In your mind, you always paired any late event with the sensation of staring up at the stars. 
They did not like their schedule interrupted. Or perhaps, they were simply refusing to adjust in any way. 
Noticing them was not gradual. The echo of barefoot feet running up and down the hallways began a constant source of background noise. The doors would be pushed open, suddenly closed, only to have another open. Glasses clinked as if someone was having a meal. 
These noises kept you feeling paranoid. You assumed you were slowly losing your mind and wanted proof that you were not. So, the cameras went up. For days, you were too afraid to review the footage. The final push came when you felt fingers brush against your neck, sweeping your hair off of your nape. 
You knew no one would believe you. The videos looked doctored, and you almost believed that yourself. You wanted to believe it, at least. But, there they were: a family, living their life. 
Four figures were recorded. Two were approximately eight feet tall with arms that would have stretched down to the bottom of their calves. They were lanky, lean. The others were only about half the height but they were rounded in structure. They were shadows - no discerning features to them. 
Sometimes, the shadows would not even be picked up on the recording, just their movements. It could easily be stated, “Obviously you set up a fishing line to open that cabinet.” So, you kept everything to yourself. It was enough just for you to know.
You tried speaking to them. The idea came from paranormal investigator shows, so you would state your actions as you did them and always let them know you meant no harm. You didn’t dare try to say that they were not welcomed. This felt more their home than yours. 
After a stressful day at work, a friend followed you home with the intention of sharing a bottle of wine. The two of you were huddled around the kitchen island, refilling glasses as you talked. You watched her eyes slowly scan over to the dining table. They widened, her lips opened, and then she straightened her back. “This has been nice, but I should head out now before I’m tempted to drink anymore. Gotta be able to drive, ya know?” It was nervous, the words sounded fake, and you knew. You knew exactly what she saw. And, you were elated to no longer be alone in this experience.

Reviewing Barefoot Pink Moscato
I don’t know anything about wine like terminology and shit. I just know that I’ve bought certain wines because the bottle looked cool or the name sounded interesting, or I’ve bought them based on recommendations from alcoholic friends. Barefoot is something that I tried based on recommendation. I don’t really know the proof although most of the wine that I’ve drank has been around 13-14%.
I don’t really buy wine based on proof. I buy the biggest bottle of whatever kind I want and I assume that it will do the job. Barefoot does the job. It’s probably my favorite wine. Most wines that I’ve tried have tasted like MD20/20, but this tastes like a carbonated pink lemonade although with an obvious alcohol tinge to it. It costs around $12 a bottle here, but it’s worth the money.
I would rate this wine 5 out of 5 stars. It tastes good. It’s not too expensive, and it does the job.
