📚 Short Stories From The Immortal Quill – Issue #45
We’re sliding straight into “Wrap Me in Copper Coils and LET’S GO” - a tale sparking with static, sass, and suspicious side-eyes. Think Twilight Zone meets Glow-Up: Paranormal Edition.
Today's Tale: Wrap Me in Copper Coils and LET’S GO
It all started in the tiny town of Grimridge Hollow, the kind of place where everyone’s Wi-Fi cuts out at the same time and the streetlamps flicker like they’re gossiping in Morse code.
And right in the middle of town?
A weird little shop called The Coil & Crown.
Owned by a woman named Madam Vexa, who wore copper bangles stacked to her elbows, eyeliner sharp enough to pierce dimensions, and who spoke like she swallowed a thunderstorm. She sold:
- Copper-threaded cloaks
- Aura-stabilizing socks
- And a line of “EMF Neutralizing Nightcaps” for those with particularly chatty dreams.
But here’s the kicker:
People started wearing her copper wraps and coils… and changing.
At first it was subtle.
- Doris from the bakery suddenly started levitating the cinnamon rolls.
- Carl the mailman began hearing people’s thoughts (he stopped delivering mail, citing "too much emotional baggage").
- And Linda, who ran the antique shop, started sparking when she got mad.
Literally. Sparks. Flying. Static rage.
So of course…
The Quill Crew heard about it.
Tink, Goldi, Red, Rapunzel, Snow, and Cinderella roll into Grimridge Hollow in a crystal-powered hover-wagon (because why not), fully prepped with:
- Anti-static hair mist
- Emergency grounding mats
- And a backup pack of enchanted bobby pins (you never know).
Tink: “I don’t trust any boutique where the mannequins blink.”
Goldi: “She’s just mad her curls went frizz.”
Red: “I knew copper was more than just aesthetics. That’s why I’ve been wearing a wire bra since ‘07.”
They meet Madam Vexa, who offers them copper toe rings and says, “The veil’s thin. Stay grounded or get shocked.”
Naturally, they each try one item.
Within seconds:
- Cindy suddenly has perfect phone reception - on a broken flip phone.
- Snow’s shadow starts whispering Latin.
- Tink feels like her wings are charging.
And Goldi… Goldi starts seeing into the frequencies.
Goldi: “Guys. We’re being broadcasted. Like. Reality show style. Across. The Realms.”
Cue thunder. Cue swirling static. Cue Rapunzel snapping a selfie with a “WE STAN CHAOS” face.
They confront Madam Vexa.
Turns out, she’s not from this realm. She’s a frequency-weaver from the House of Coiled Echoes, one of the long-lost Houses of Techno-Fae, known for bending sound, light, and static into spells.
And she wasn’t corrupting the town…
She was activating it.
“Humans forgot how to hum with the universe,” she said, adjusting her copper crown. “I’m just tuning them back in.”
And then… poof.
She’s gone.
The shop? Gone.
Only thing left? A handwritten note.
“Wrap yourself in copper, darlings. The static is coming.”
Back at HQ, they’re sitting around the fireplace.
Goldi: “So… like… do I keep seeing frequencies or do I need to wear goggles now?”
Red: “I just wanna know why the walls keep humming the ‘Macarena’ at 3AM.”
Cindy: “I ordered copper bedsheets. Just in case.”
Tink: “I’m building a frequency gun. Also just in case.”
Snow, sipping tea: “Another Tuesday, huh?”
And somewhere… in a buzzing frequency between realms… Madam Vexa smirks.
She’s not done. Not by a long shot.
