I'm writing a bit of fantasy, and I'm wonder what sort of token the Goddess might leave behind after "visiting" a mortal who'd asked for something. It shouldn't be *glaringly* obvious, as I want him to not be certain that anything really happened.

I'm thinking along the lines of a bit of vegetation, or perhaps a small stone of some sort. Something that's out of place, but that he can explain away until later.

I'm also considering having the Horned God get involved as well as His Lady. The reasons will be obvious later. Not sure if he'd leave a sign or what it might be.

I will note that the person in question hadn't really intended to summon them, and (fortunately for him) they are feeling somewhat amused.

Dear Tide:

I'm writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it since the beginning of my married life, when my Mom told me it was the best. Now that I am older and going through menopause, I find it even better!

In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My unfeeling and uncaring husband started to berate me about how clumsy I was and generally started becoming a pain in the neck.

One thing led to another and I ended up with a lot of his blood on my white blouse. I tried to get the stain out using a bargain detergent, but it just wouldn't come out. After a quick trip to the supermarket, I stopped and got a bottle of liquid Tide with bleach alternative, and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out!

In fact, the stains came out so well, that some detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests were negative and my attorney said that I would no longer be considered a suspect!

I thank you, once again, for having such a great product. Well, gotta go. I have to write a letter to the Hefty bag people...
