💀 dropped this short story Good Company, about friendship and adventure and rolling with it

“Got cornered by a Dust Bear the other week, and I'm still not a hundred percent. Getting the lumps from a roving swarm of third-rate stemtech is a twitch-inducing experience to say the least. “

🪦- Working on a Western-noir thriller where I'm trying to do my best to follow a strict plan. Deputy Luke Gatelin struggles against his past while tracking for missing woman in the Montana wilderness where someone has been preying on people for a very, very long time.

💀 maybe consider consider checking out The House on Cecil Avenue, a story I wrote back in October about the return to a childhood stomping ground...

The smell was a putrid reek that reminded me of a lichen soaked in a slow moving undertown where the dead would grow mold and the ancients would snore. It was a sickening smell of a place I never knew in a world I never visited.

💀 This is from my story "Waltz of the Acolytes," a ballet horror just in time for Nutcracker season.

"The stage lights flooding the little room dimmed. Poppy gasped at the sudden darkness, more complete than she had anticipated. She felt her breathing speed up, her hands shake. There was no way out— she couldn’t even reach the ceiling to bang on it, to beg and plead."

No cemeteries here because The Colonialists were not about to build any, but then if you took all the bodies in original form, you'd fill The Pyramids of Giza.

🪦 My last installation of Marredbury for the calendar year went up at the end of last month. I've been rewriting this story countless times trying to get it right. Feedback is so helpful since I'm cross eyed from staring at it so much.

Synopsis: A night out changes the lives of a group of friends for longer than forever.
