Bewitching Hour — musingtopieces

I had the pleasure of being a beta reader for this story, both as it was being written part by part in response to different word-limit challenges and in this final, 1906 word incarnation.

Read it if you enjoy horror stories where getting out alive isn’t a when but an if. And please, give it a like on TheProse if you can! The top 50 stories submitted will be considered by Simon & Schuster. I think views count, but likes and shares are gold.

465 words. Fantasy, the same monster hunters from J is for Journey, and things that go bump in the night! Please leave a comment if you like what you read. 😊  Continue reading “#AtoZChallenge — W is for Watch” →

#AtoZChallenge — S is for Shallow

SFor today’s story, I took kind of a silly idea and just went with it. Remember C is for Casual? This is the prequel.

818 words. LGBT theme, plus that sort of je ne sais quoi combo of privileged neglect. Please leave a comment if you like what you read. 😊 Continue reading “#AtoZChallenge — S is for Shallow” →
