Sharon’s Note: Car chase! I’ve always wanted to write a car chase! Warning: Author having too good a-time. Ruben pulled me towards his car. I tried to pull away, saying that we needed to call the cops. This protest quickly died when another black van came around the corner. Then I was dragging him forward …

Bedtime
Sharon’s note: Kids, am I right? Warning: One bad word and a sympathetic situation. “Shut up!” Sunny wailed. “The monster under the bed’s gonna eat your face!” Jimmy crowed, and tore across the living room to avoid his sister’s wrath. She tried to run after him, but she caught her toe on the carpet and …
The Witcher Man and the Case of the Wolf that Wasn’t: Part 4
James’s Note: In this episode, I will admit to a bit of introductory exposition, but hopefully it is fun and witty exposition. We also learn a little about what a Witcher Man is, although it’ll be a few more episodes before we learn what it really means to do this job. The look Damien gave …

The Sea Bride
James’s Note: A lot of my writing is inspired by old folk songs. This one is based on sea shanties. I always love it when an author can write something new that, if you didn’t know better, you’d swear was a traditional song. “The Hanging Tree” from The Hunger Games is a great example. I …
Fairy Ring
James’s Note: This micro fiction is actually the story that inspired what may someday become a short story collection. It’s all about the strange little things that keep the world safe. Just like a certain spider you may have heard of. “Iron Bane! Iron Bane!” roared the monstrous army, their cries shaking the heavens. The …

Here’s Where We Start

She couldn’t get up when the world made her fall,so she got to her knees and started to crawl.Pain shook its head with a pitying frown“It would be so …
Nightmare: Redacted Part 6
Sharon’s note: Sometimes you have to make a choice between something you want to do, and a friend. Sometimes you choose wrong. Warning: Bad things. I was missing time from Friday night to Sunday morning. Ruben was missing an entire week, from Monday to Sunday. That wasn’t the only dissimilarity. People had seen him during …
The Witcher Man and the Case of the Wolf that Wasn’t: Part 2
James’s Note: The adventures of the Witcher Man continues. His interaction with the werewolves is based on the novels I keep reading were all the werewolves are involved in screwed up, abusive relationships. His opinions are my way of calling them out. It’s not that Damien’s display of toxic masculinity wasn’t impressive. Even in his …

The Friendly Abyss
Sharon’s Note: Not all that that is scary is bad. Warning: 😉 “So, how is he doing?” The nurse asked. Her eyes were wide, and she put a hand to her chest. “He’s . . . “ The doctor’s voice trailed, and he looked back towards the door he’d just come through. His voice took …
