Memories. Remembering. That was its job. Recalling the life stories of so many people. All those it had met. All those it had worked with. All those who had now gone. They lived on in its recall.
So listen carefully — it has a tale to tell…

Two of four planned character vignettes are DONE for next week's Shadows & Sorcery
Both came quite easily, and I think the next two will as well, which is a good sign!

Update: started a new story🔥 Not under prompt or deadline. Nah, a story now living in my mind rent-free. I'm so excited about it. Even though I'm at the very start, ideas are bubbling. It's hard (I'm slow) but so incredibly gripping. Maybe around 4k? Dark sci-fi for now.

Anita's words are a punch in the gut each time. This story is no different 🔥🥰
There's a saying about judging books by their covers but not one about titles for stories. The words Vengeance As Sweet As My Love are a compelling introduction. Translunar Travelers Lounge would love to introduce more readers to our magazine, and so welcome comments and reviews.

It's a new story day today! This is one of my most personal stories—a meditation on queer bodies and unconditional love that I really hope you enjoy. 🛸
The heart knows what the heart wants, and today: it's the alien. You'll fall in love too with "Loving the Alien is the Easiest Thing In The World" by @elijah.mea.rs:

You had no idea if the alien was your kind of guy (or even if it was a guy at all), but sometimes Cupid has a funny way with those arrows.
