Excerpts from BEHIND GILDED WALLS …

All the Pretty Birds by C. C. Givans (Horror/Suspense):

The beast pauses at the landing; my heart is hammering away at lightning speed. He reaches above his head and pulls a string. A sick, yellow glow illuminates the dark, confined space. I take in the concrete floors beneath my feet, look up at the rotting joists above my head, and then attempt to absorb the madness around me. Cells, just like mine, line every slate gray wall of the underground room.  – All the Pretty Birds, by C. C. Givans

Magic Hackers by D. M. Million (Fantasy/Magic):

Chester was twenty-two when he discovered the secret to wizards’ magic. The wizards had been exposed when he was just a child, and he was fascinated by their abilities. He had watched them on a TV news documentary, flicking their fingers, making something appear out of thin air. There was even a reporter who was covering The War of 2130 in the Middle East, who captured a wizard killing an enemy instantly, from ten yards away, using only his mind. Chester became obsessed with figuring out how that was possible. Then, in his last year at Caltech, he had a breakthrough.  

The Soul’s Sonata by R. M. Carpus (Drama/Suspense):

I piled everything into the backpack, then rose and stood near the window to watch him in the tiny backyard. Tie loosened and sleeves rolled up, he sloppily plucked the rose bushes from the earth, dug his hands into the soil like an aimless buffoon, cursing under his breath. I pushed back the tears as I watched him jerk the blooms from their home, violating their only haven, where they grew and prayed to their pure gods. The stench of urine distracted me and suddenly drew attention to my pants. Hollow and leaving no room for barren thoughts, I shuffled toward the bedroom to change clothes.
