On Necromantic Purloining

Don't steal charms from the dead.
This can bring retribution from swamp things,
which, for a far-too-honest necrothief, can make these charms very difficult to give away.

Finding Diamonds

I'm beside the road in what seems like a garden, or what will be a garden or a large field.

I'm with two other people, one of whom is very angry and the other is just as scared as I am. See, we need to find his diamonds or, well he hasn't said what, but I'm sure he's going to kill us if we don't. We've been doing this for a while.

Then I move to the rail on the porch and lean over holding my hands out. That's when I noticed my nails were painted. I told Lauren that I was dreaming. She either asked how I knew or what I was going to do about it, and as I jumped off the porch and into the front yard, I told her. I knew I was dreaming because my nails were painted, but I was sure I hadn't painted them in a week or more. I hadn't painted them the color they were in my dream in months. And I was planning on poking around and taking control, which is what I did. First I kneeled down and started poking the concrete. It was soft and bent in, like it was made ...
