Beth works for Potion's R Us.  A magical potion store with a will of it's own.  And now it is forcing Beth to take a day off.  But what would a day off be without a strange vial of magical wonder.  Beth is in for one wild ride.  (This story is in early access on my Patreon and will come to DA on Jan 6th.)

             “But. . .” She looked around.  “I haven’t had a break in years.  When will I know I can come back?”

             “You will know.” He nodded his head.  “Trust me. The store will let you know.”

             Beth shrugged her shoulders.  “Well, I guess.” She walked towards the door, noticing a crimson vial sitting on the table’s edge.  “Hey, who let this out?”

             Mr. Gongsel shrugged.  “If it is sitting there and it grabbed your attention, then I am sure it is there for you.  You should know by now how things work here in Potion’s R Us.”

             “But. . .” She looked at the strange elixir.  “I don’t want a strange potion.  I don’t even know what it will do.”

             “DON’T QUESTION THE WILL OF THE STORE!” She gulped. “You are lucky you get a break and a gift at that.  Take it and go!”

             “Yes, Mr. Gongsel.” She grabbed the crimson vial. “Have a nice week.”

             “I will see you when you return.” He waved as she walked out the door.  “And don’t come back until you have enjoyed your full vacation, do you hear?”
