Wow. This short story by @brandoncase101.bsky.social absolutely ripped out my heart before transforming into something so much more. Go check it out.
💔❤️✨
My story “The Death of Demons” is out today!
It follows a swordsman stuck, haunted by an old mistake, and given the opportunity to face his past…
…And it’ll defy your expectations all the way to that intense conclusion ⚔️🤍
This piece means a lot to me, and I’d love if you gave it a read!

Aaah, I love Ball and Cassiopeia
and Small Wonders! 🤖❤️🛰️
Please give them a read, it’s
“Such a Simple Thing” as
Ray Lamontagne (and Cassi) would say,
just beware paper hearts to flame.
Billy (aka Bilbo Waggins) has a smile to spare. Best wishes to you and your family.
I have a new audio story “Jackpot God” out on Simultaneous Times!
Harold lost his family in an accident
But an artificial god transforms the economy into a lottery game that’s “pray to win”
The ultimate prize: a wish (including resurrection)
And with enough prayers, his family might be returned…
Starting an adventure with heartbreak and the desire to prove to oneself that I CAN is a powerful motivation—but can quickly became hazardous for someone stubborn, who often finds it impossible to back down… even when it would be wise to do so.

Thanks, Manda! I had tons of fun layering into the format, with time running two directions as she scribbles back up the form, emphasizing certain words as her ink runs out 🖤✍️
I enjoyed your story too! So sweet—I had a rush of goosebumps when the woman regressed to childhood and hugged her father 😊
Yaay! Thanks Sierra 🖤🕷️🖤
I super appreciate you being a calm language-tech-support agent when I’d message all of a dither like “OMG does this (intentionally!) weird and unbalanced sentence still make sense I’ve read it 500 times and don’t know what words are anymore” 😁
Thanks so much, Emmi! 🖤🖤
Yesss! 🖤🕸️🕷️
I love this story, and I’m super excited it found a home at @flashfictiononline.bsky.social . Special thanks to @beckyhalsey.bsky.social and all the wonderful FFO editors.
Happy Mother’s Day! 🖤
