Meet the Staff I

MysticMisfits™ Staff Directory Staff Spotlight:The WanderPoet Position: Ephemeral Verse Consultant Clock-in Time: Unknown Clock-out Time: Immediately After You Notice Him You won’t see him arrive. You might catch a glimpse-- a flicker of velvet, a whisper that sounds like unfinished poetry. He drifts between aisles, scribbling stanzas on the backs of receipts, leaving notes folded in teacups, and misquoting love spells near the lip balm display. He never applied for the job. He just appears right before a storm, drops a single verse, and vanishes before the ink dries. We tried giving him a name tag once. It wrote itself into a sonnet and dissolved in moonlight. Check back often. New employees arrive whenever the veil thins… or HR sneezes.

The WanderPoet is honored--and he would thank you personally, but he just dissolved into fog after mumbling something in iambic pentameter. J.A.B., thank you so much for the continued support. Your words mean the world (and possibly the next realm over). The whole catalog tips its haunted hat to you. FAVer of the Forgotten Aisles, --Alesia
