Sad Swallow, A Two Sentence Story, Fairytale Retold

In a voice that plucked at her heart strings, her dear swallow lamented, “All winter we exchanged stories, my beautiful Thumbelina, and it made my heart soar. When you climbed upon my back and begged me to take you to my favorite far away land, how could I have known my happy dream would end with you forsaking me for another?”

Meet the giant Greek god Tityus in his underground grotto, horribly bored from endless torture and looking for entertainment. Be moved by a historical glimpse into the life of an inventor inspired by Civil War Aeronaut Thaddeus Lowe. How about a cannibal comedy with a ferryman taking a group of serial killers to a masked party through an eerie swamp? You will adore the Kassian dragon Mareduke who encounters a toddler alone in the woods, though Eliana is more than she seems. You can ride a giant pineapple into a lost world. Dive into a whodunnit with the unlikeliest miniature murderers. You’ll even meet a pair of Oscar fish trying to get fed while this mundane household chore keeps getting interrupted by a stranger wielding a butcher knife.
Priss Starwillow & the Wolf
I love this short story! The setting is incredibly immersive, the characters are well fleshed out and captivating, and it got me wanting more. Great writing wraps everything together perfectly. “His eyes found hers again.” Also, I have a huge crush on Sam now.
