This month’s fiction comes from the depths of the ocean. I weirdly love how little we know about the waters that surround us. I always grew up close to the water and, if you look out onto the water, it’s hard not to wonder what lurks deep below. We spend so much time looking above, wouldn’t it be neat to see what’s right below the surface? Enjoy!

The Hunt
The Last Spring
I decided to try writing from a prompt this month and I absolutely love the result. I’m thinking about making this into a bigger piece at some point, but I’ll keep it short for now. Enjoy!
The Internship
A while ago, I made a joke to a friend that the Grim Reaper was actually “just a dead baker who literally worked their fingers to the bone to make the afterlife more pleasant!” And I had so much fun with the idea, I thought I could write out the Grim Reaper in the best way I could think to do it. Please enjoy The Internship!
Coffee with Galene
I took a “Celtic Art, Myth and Culture” class the last couple of Saturdays. I always like to incorporate different kinds of mythology into my writing. For a long time in Middle and High School, I was writing a lot about Greek and Roman mythology. I enjoy learning about mythologies and folklore, so taking the course in Celtic myths was a great refresher (and a bit of a mental palette cleanser). So, please enjoy this newest story:
Skeleton Key
When I write sometimes, I’ll have a wild question that I ask friends or experts. Then I realize I should preface that it’s for a story or my writing. Today’s story, Skeleton Key, is a story that had one such question. Enjoy!
Henchmen Wanted
I’ve always had this idea in my head: How do super villains find their henchmen?
While reading some Terry Pratchett (The Light Fantastic, for those familiar with Discworld), I decided to try writing something with a little more of a satire/humor angle. So, for your enjoyment:
Under the Stairs at Ridge Way
Hello everyone! It’s the third Sunday and that means New Fiction!
Enjoy:
Nasty Nattie and The Nightmare Man
This one was one that I wrote a pretty long time ago, but wanted to revisit. Enem is actually based on a nightmare antagonist I had a while ago. I wanted to change his story and see if I could make him more sympathetic (or at least more interesting). Enjoy!
Memories
This month’s fiction piece is a follow up to The Remembrance from a while ago. Feel free to read through it again before reading the follow-up story below!
We last left Cam and the crew as they left their memorial service on a desolate planet. But things change quickly in space!
