My dogs Syd and Nanci

Since these babies have come into my life, they’ve taught me how to slow down and rest, and how to receive unconditional love.

I’m still learning.

Keep going.

A woman receives an unmarked package containing the face she’s always wanted. The mask fits better than expected—soft, warm, and uncannily natural—and wearing it makes moving through the world feel effortless in ways she never imagined. Strangers don’t stare. Conversations come easily. For the first time, she feels seen without feeling exposed. But small details begin to feel… off. A comment made too casually. A look held a second too long. And the creeping sense that the mask isn’t just changing how others see her—but how she sees them. What begins as a story about confidence and self-discovery slowly drifts into something far more unsettling, asking what it really means to have a “real” face—and whether authenticity is something you’re born with, or something you learn to wear. This original short horror story blends psychological unease, identity horror, and subtle body horror into a quiet, creeping narrative where transformation doesn’t arrive all at once—and perhaps once you've put it on, taking the mask off might no longer be an option. ► Written by Scott Savino, writer of queer horror and weird fiction author ► Expertly narrated by ElevenLabs AI Engine

Confession: I write mostly MG/YA. But a good chunk of readers “what spicy erotica” And I just have absolutely zero desire to write that, so it feels like in order to sell well I have to be backed into a corner and just... bite the bullet I guess?

It’s a bit late (or early) for a #dailywordcount but I just finished writing 1,639 words! I hope to write more today but we shall see how that goes.

I didn’t think I wrote much yesterday but I double checked and it looks like I wrote 1665 words, written in at least two sessions throughout the day…! Although yesterday was really weird and fuzzy… point is words were written and I’m settling in to dive back in~
