Short stories

Seasons

A collection of four character-driven short stories representing a broad range of speculative fiction.

  • You and Me, at the End of Our Time: In a faraway corner of the universe, a man who has lost everything finds love where he least expects it-only to lose it.
  • Gradations of Loss: In the modern world, a woman learns to live with her grief after she realises letting it go is impossible.
  • Your Heart, a Fire: A princess of a kingdom on its way to ruin braves her fear and goes on a quest, knowing its fulfilment means her death. A Polish version of this story, Płomień twego serca, has been released as part of Tęczowe i fantastyczne: antologia queerowej fantastyki by Grupa Wydawnicza Alpaka. You can download the ebook here.
  • It Burns: In the wake of her grandparents’ death, a woman scratches the surface of an ancient mystery in a world where old gods have never been forgotten.

Ningal’s Descent into the Underworld

Ningal, a private investigator, is hired to find the missing husband of the leader of a criminal underworld, and ends up unearthing much more than just marital problems.

A sci-fi spin on the myth of Ereshkigal and Nergal, sprinkled with the Epic of Gilgamesh, enough background wordlbuilding for at least a novella, and Ea-Nasir selling shitty electronics and NFTs. The story has been published in issue 4 of OFIC Magazine.
