Idle

She neither toiled nor spun, she was idle. What a gift it is to do nothing at all.

Tango

It takes two to tango... right? I had a little trouble with this one. I wanted to be clever I had ideas about who tango without meaning to, people get on and off trains, kids on playgrounds, cooks in kitchens, soldiers, hotel porters with bags... vampires with victims.

Hollow

The victories of war often feel hollow...

Shaky...

The word is shaky. And I thought of everything that shakes, milkshakes, and leaves, and hula dancers, those old excersize machines with the belts, fun houses... but I settled on this.

Worn

Once upon a time there was girl named Kate who had a very lousy job...

When I saw worn I thought offices and cubes.
