Tuesday's Short - The Dragon in my Shadow
This week’s short story takes us from a science fiction action adventure to an urban fantasy setting where dragons exist among us. Welcome to The Dragon in My Shadow.
Some things are just figments of our imagination, like
dragons and dreams—but what if those figments were real?
The Dragon in My Shadow
All my life, I’ve been ordinary. I’ve

Tuesday's Short - The Depredides Dance
This week’s short story takes us from an urban fantasy setting where a trapped soul seeks freedom to a short piece of science fiction adventure. Welcome to The Depredides Dance.
All I had to do was disappear. That was it: disappear and stay out of
