‘In the Dark of the Zombie City’: A story of an intense discussion
Hey, everyone! How’s everyone doing this fine *checks notes* September afternoon? This next one was written for the contest, In On a Little Secret. I chose the prompt, “Write a story about a meeting of a secret society.” The title of my short story is In the Dark of the Zombie City, and you can read it here on WordPress or over on my Reedsy profile.

‘Eye to Eye’: A story of reconnection
How is it September next week? Where has the time gone!? This next one was written for the Reedsy contest, Second Chances.

The title of my story is 18.01528, and — as per — you can read it here on WordPress or over on my Reedsy profile!

New short story: ‘Lights Shined into Pried-Open Eyes’
Hey, how are we all doing? I hope you’re all well! 🙂 Sorry for the brief pause (it seems it’s becoming a habit, as of late!), but I spent the week at my in-laws’ for my partner’s 25th. Lots of food, hiking, and drinking. I’m back now, however!
This next one was written for the Reedsy contest, In Reverse. I chose the prompt: “Come with us,” two burly men in gray suits say, grabbing you by the arm and handcuffing you. “You know what you did.” But you have no idea. The title of my story is Lights Shined into Pried-Open Eyes, and you can find it here on WordPress, or over on my Reedsy profile.
