Prompt: 057. gold chain<\/h1>\n

1. The chain may have been made of gold, but it still tethered him to the marble column.<\/h2>\n

A. The chain may have been made of gold, but it still tethered him to the marble column. Magic had been imbued in the links, each one painstakingly carved with a rune to keep him from shifting form and slipping free.<\/p>\n

He’d never been helpless before. He didn’t like it.<\/p>\n

2.”That baby is wearing a gold chain. I feel like saying something to his mother.”<\/h2>\n

A. “That baby is wearing a gold chain. I feel like saying something to his mother.”<\/p>\n

“Please don’t.”<\/p>\n

“Well, if I don’t say it, who will?”<\/p>\n

“Anyone but you. Leave her alone. She’s not bothering anyone.”<\/p>\n

“It bothers me.”<\/p>\n

“I don’t care. Shut up and eat your food so we can go. If you say anything to her or do anything to terrify her child, I swear on everything that you hold holy that I will break something you love.”<\/p>\n

“What if I love you?”<\/p>\n

“Then I guess I’ll have to break up with you.”<\/p>\n

3. Her grandmother’s cross dangled from a delicate gold chain.<\/h2>\n

A. Her grandmother’s cross dangled from a delicate gold chain around her neck in every photograph she’d been in since she was nineteen years old. So to notice it missing one day during her commute, she felt helpless and stressed.<\/p>\n

She never took the necklace off, not even when she took a shower. It made her feel naked to not have it on. She didn’t even know where it might have fallen, but didn’t hesitate to take the return train and retrace her steps back to her apartment building, hoping she would see a glint of gold somewhere on the ground.<\/p>\n
