The Bait and Switch
Chapter 12: Extraction
Probably the most violent and graphic torture scene I've written. Alastor sure lives up to his name of being difficult and insane lol.

“I am wearing a 1920s (?) dress that I hand dyed from a spoiled olive color to this berry shade, an 80s handbag from Beacons Closet, and vintage reproduction shoes (if only I could fit into antique heels!). I have been wearing shades of red exclusively for a year now; it’s been the best sartorial challenge as I can no longer rely on color blocking to make an outfit. Instead it’s about the different shades of red (which there are many), silhouette, texture, etc. As always, the early 20th century has been my main inspiration, with my current obsession being drop waist cuts. Ugh, to be a flâneuse in 1920s Berlin! ”

Florence Banks (left) and Helen Varina of White Plains, climbed atop parked autos so they could see Peaches Heenan Browning as she came out of the courthouse after filing divorce papers, January 21, 1927. Peaches had married "Daddy" Browning the previous year when she was 15 and he 51. Needless to say, the whole thing caused a scandal.
