Throwback Thursday: Martyr

Context: In 2019 (and one of the years following) I had the GREAT pleasure of attending a Vampire the Masquerade, Sabbat focused, immersive LARP event put on by Jackalope Studios. Real life and the cost of a ticket, hotel, and travel mean I haven’t been able to do a lot of their events since, butContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Martyr”

Throwback Thursday: Wand

Originally shared over on my Ko-fi a few weeks ago. But, it’s another Thursday, so THROWBACK. If you want to support the cause and are in the US, ordering a physical copy from me directly is the best way to do so.

Spring

She felt her heartbeat slow as she watched the ice begin to melt outside of the walls of her husband’s home. The warming temperatures were always the first sign that soon, her mother would come to collect her. She turned away quickly, as if no longer looking would make it untrue. But she knew fullContinue reading “Spring”

Solitude

The King and Queen had sent dozens, what felt like hundreds, of their knights to go and retrieve their daughter from the citadel where she was kept. None of them had prevailed, and a good portion of them had not come back at all. The ones that did were in one piece, but seemed toContinue reading “Solitude”

School

The old schoolhouse was a relic of another time. Nature had begun to reclaim it, vines growing over the remnants of the walls and creeping up through the broken floorboards. The other buildings of the settlement had been fully lost in a fire along with three quarters of the people that had lived there. But,Continue reading “School”

Raven

The large, black, bird was perched on one of the few empty cafe tables, picking at crumbs left behind from a pastry. It was the coolest it had been in weeks, so there were lots of people outside enjoying the weather before it turned again. Taking a break from the sweet snack, the bird tippedContinue reading “Raven”

Music

He hated working the afternoons after the owner and her husband went to an estate sale. Belongings from the recently deceased gave the antique shop an even weirder feeling than it usually had. His manager called him superstitious and brushed him off; he called her reckless and rolled her eyes when her back was turned.Continue reading “Music”

She had her doubts as well. But the guy that sold them to her promised “the experience of a lifetime” and he hadContinue reading “Mushrooms”
