Lost Witness
Quick note: this takes place after Ravenshore’s Antimagic, the novel which has just started going up as chapters. I didn’t really think about that until right now as I’m writing this post and thinking why? Why did I do that? Well, you’ve been warned, I guess. Contains spoilers for the end of Ravenshore’s Antimagic. — Justiciar Radiant…

A Flock of Seagulls
“Do you like my hat?” Rick asked. The stranger gasped. “That huge raccoon just talked!” Their little group hurried away, disappearing into the nightly fog. “Wow, rude,” said Rick. He touched both paws to his furry belly and hoped the human was only comparing his height to a normal raccoon. It was true he’d gained…

Ghost in the Smell
This is another prequel to Ravenshore’s Nightmare, set about three years earlier. The novel mentions an incident with detective Bollart and a sewer elemental a couple of times – so here it is! ___ “You’re godsdamn lucky you can’t smell this, Frank,” Kat said to her gun, fighting and coughing to control her gag reflex.…

Reflections of a Supervillain
Something a little different for this month’s short. I wrote this story in 2010 for a creative writing class. It went through a group critique and a couple of revisions, but otherwise has not been touched since March 2010. I’m putting it up here, completely unchanged, before even re-reading it myself, to look at and…

New Year, New News
I’m not really one for resolutions, but I have been thinking about my writing and goals, and come to some decisions. First up, there’s no new short today. I have a couple of standalone chapters of a large project that I could post, but they’re rough drafts that very clearly need work and refinement. The…

The Lookout
This short is a chunk of a bigger project I’m working on. Sort of an anthology that tells smaller stories around the central events of the longest D&D game I ever ran. Still experimenting, and I cut a lot before posting – it’s too easy to ramble on this topic. Expect to see this revised…

Oops. New Shorts.
I made the call a while back to keep some things exclusive to my Patreon and some things as early access to later show up here. Recently realized I’d been remembering to post short stories to Patreon, but NOT to also put them up here once the early access period was done. Oops. So two…

Shot in the Dark
“So you can get rid of other people’s ghosts, but not me?” griped Frank in a tone that would sound like he was grinding his teeth, if he had any. “Shut up, Frank,” hissed Kat. “We talked about this. Not at my fucking job.” Kat was waiting in the mid-sized but lavishly decorated lobby of the…

The Nightmare Patient
Wenzi had only just taken her shoes off to sit down when an emergency-coded call came in on her personal radio frequency. “Doctor Wenzi, this is Doctor Braddock, please come in. Urgent.” Wenzi looked around her apartment, regretfully taking it in. She hadn’t had time to appreciate her old fashioned, delicate yet cozy home recently.…
