House atop the Hill

"Jenny will win this time; I'm brilliant, and Jenny knows what it takes to succeed." Said no one, somewhere as a ruined table leg mystically floated to carve in another "X" from the layered dust on the kitchen table, In its game of tick tack toe."

While from the other side of the room, the lamp that lightly flickered with light raised its hand and itched its chin. "Yes, yes, Jenny can't lose now. I have trapped them. Their X's are no match hehehe; they can not understand the layers. No! They will never learn of them..." And then, the same table leg moved between the Two X's and marked a circle. Tying the match in a deadlock.

Followed by a disembodied scream, "Ahhhhh!!! Jenny doesn't like cheaters; Jenny hates them! Hates!"

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

  After flipping the table and with the lamp light dying out, the room became much quieter. The only sound left, that of a babe off in the distance, its mood ever-changing from soft giggles to silent snoring.

Jenny was gone, like the rest. She moved on from the home; Jennies only mark of her presence in the now flipped table. Until even the table was righted. A would-be traveler having fixed it up later in her unremarkable month-long stay in the house. Bland as she was, the babe was happy to have her soft giggles and happy squeaks followed her through the home while she was there, and it seemingly didn't bother her at all. To each their own, I say.

This concludes the preview. I want to see how posting a story works, so I quickly threw this together. Thanks for reading; most chapters will be about 3k words, from how little I can fit into a tenth of that.
