Today I read A Witch’s Transition In The City Of Ghosts by Oluwatomiwa Ajeigbe, published in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social.
"We walk hand in hand into the city of ghosts, aware that everyone on the other side of the wall hates us now.
We do not care."
Amazing world-building in such a short piece!

This is one of my favorite magazine who often gives new writers their first pro sales. Please support if you can.
BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly amount we need to pay our authors a pro rate and our First Readers a worthy honorarium ($125/mo). Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we understand. But less than 1% of BCS readership donates or supports. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 1/3
