(…or on the eleventh, as I never get to do it on the right date… ;o)

This month, the prompt words for the Six on the Sixth challenge are

GOBLIN | SPIT | SHINE | BELITTLE | GAPE | MAINTENANCE

This time I tried to link them all, and created a 36-word story composed of 6 6-word sentences, each featuring one of the prompt words.
The hardest one for me was maintenance.

This is how it ended up:

GOBLIN:       Wizards and goblins brewing a potion.

SPIT:         Toad's spit to top it off.

SHINE:        The liquid boiled, the vial shone.

BELITTLE:     Some saw nothing special on it.

GAPE:         The others were open-mouthed in astonishment.

MAINTENANCE:  Drinking it, they would be silenced.
