This is a fictional story, if you can’t tell. Since it’s below a thousand words, technically it can be considered flash fiction.
Featuring cameos from:
Cheese the cat
Joan
Charles
Yi Shu
Who are actually real and pretty much because I asked who wanted to cameo in this weird fic.

What it says. I’m just leaving it here.
Sponsor a story, not with money but with comments, chocolates or cats.
Ok, the last not really but cat pictures are good too with a message on it. I’ll be writing my stuff as usual but if you sponsor a story chapter, it’ll get written faster because it’s like being ‘commissioned’.
For those who know me in real life, you can sponsor me with chocolates, tea and whatnot. For those online, you can sponsor me digitally. These will be the for ‘free’ stories only for NOW which only includes:
You CAN get an original fic sponsored with a word prompt but with real items though, like how Mizhalle gave me actual chocolate and I wrote this with her prompts.
The more comments/reminders, the faster a chapter will appear. If there are none, a chapter will still appear but sloooooooowly.
And you can start by commenting at this post here. But what IS Ashes to Ashes?
So if you haven’t known, from the various news reports and whatnot, McDonalds in Singapore had Hello Kitty Fairy Tale dolls if you purchase it with a value meal or something. The line up is as such, the witch from the Wizard of Oz, the Ugly Duckling, the lion from Wizard of Oz, the Singing Bone, the Frog Prince and Red Riding Hood.
As for the witch, she was exclusive for deliveries only so you could get her if you called McD’s delivery. My friend in Norway commented that she didn’t really look like the witch from Oz but that she was more like a McDonald’s staff who was a witch? Very Kiki’s Delivery Service.
For the rest, we know their stories pretty much.
Except for the Singing Bone.
That’s the black Hello Kitty. I have no idea why it is in the line up, the rest generally have happy endings but before we get to that…
This particular kitty caused a near riot at some McDonald’s branches, some have called that the government should step in just because they couldn’t get one. Others blamed the staff for not having more.
I don’t know man, I thought the staff actually COOKED and sold food, not manufacture the cats.
And some have bid for this kitty till $126,000.
I don’t know if they are legit bidders but at least 28 accounts bid for it. If they are because if you don’t, your account gets banned and such which from what I see these are NEW accounts without reviews, they might just heck it.
If it was real, the details said cash on delivery. I don’t know how you’re stuffing $126,000 in briefcases or bags and going to the nearest MRT station for a meet up.
With all these ridiculous happenings, do these people know the story?
I went for the seminar instead of the workshops since I didn’t really need those. So yes, to sum it up, it was fun and super informative! This is also the first time the event is held and from what I heard from the organizer, she might be doing smaller versions, just some of the talks on its own in the future besides just the main event?
And here we go! The next bit in the story. To see the previous parts, look on the left! I put a new category just for this story here since I know it’ll be quite long.
Ashes to Ashes
Part 2
By Seriously Sarah/ sarah coldheart
The sun streamed through the glass windows of a cozy bedroom decked in cream and light blue. There, in the middle of the heavy set wooden bed lay a dark blue fleecy lump. An elderly goblin female poked it with a metal ladle.
“Mistress Ashlinn, get up. It is mid day,” she said.
With a groan, the redhead peeked out of her seclusion. She glared at the goblin that was clad in a simple brown dress with an apron tied around her waist and a muffin hat covering her dark green hair.
“Nessie, leave me be. I’m in mourning,” mumbled Ashlinn before retreated once more beneath the covers.

Prologue of Ashes to Ashes is here. Story based on a dream. Well, dream refixed for logic. Anywho, part 1 is after the cut.
Helloooo, so… This story came to me from a dream. Well technically it’s original source is a gothic Cinderella dream of sorts. I decide to refix the dream to make it more logical and well, it wanted to be read like a real story. So have a short mini series of Ashes to Ashes. It should be quite short, I hope since I’m just writing it as it goes. Those who read the original dream (I posted that somewhere else) might know how it ends but eh, it always changes when you write it down properly!
Let’s just see ok?
Prologue

The lovely crew that I usually go adventures with have a tendency to gravitate towards bookstores. This is not a tragedy for I gravitate to such places of literature too.

Ok, I asked for starting sentences on Twitter if anyone wanted a random free short/micro fic. Here’s 3. Maybe more if by the end of the day anyone else asks and I’ll just edit them into this post!
The sentences:
Okay, since Arrch said twice, I made the second one extremely short! Let’s go! Each story starts after a picture so you know which belongs to what.
