April 30: Autumn Hayes

“Male banshee. Father’s request,” they whispered round the deathbed, heads shaking, eyes closed, as the rumble boomed to its crescendo.

April 28: Carma Lynn Park

When the witch dies, the apprentice boils the tongue and eats it. Each bite floods her with weather wisdom, herb lore, spell words.

Carma Lynn Park @carmapoet has been reading/writing science fiction and fantasy for (mumble, mumble) years.

April 26: S. Kay

The GPS leads us further into the woods, damp, dark and cold. Its blue screen flickers out when the battery dies, and so do we.

S. Kay is a gadget lover and @blueberrio.

April 25: A. S. Andrews

And the hooded widow descended, blackness shadowing Bill as the red sands of her hourglass shifted. He cowered, three grains from gone.

April 21: Shelley Ontis

My uncle often says too many cooks spoil the soup, but hitchhikers thicken the broth nicely. At lunch, I only have salad.

April 19: Sarah Fiete

All stars have crumbled into dawn. Something crawled out of the fallen pillar and slapped against the ground. It did not look like a baby.

Sarah Fiete @SareeseFee enjoys the peculiarities of everyday life and imagination. She arduously attempts to channel them into her writing.

April 16: Autumn Hayes

April 14: Carma Lynn Park

Field of fresh snow. Round cat prints overlay a slim-footed trail. Smear of blood. Scrap of silken wing.

April 12: Gayle Marien

He was a fan of crime shows, she of soapies. They had only one TV. She nagged him, dramatically, persistently. He killed her. Reality show!

April 9: Simon Kewin

His FTL ship back at Earth, Jack went to stand at the grave of his baby son. Died aged 133, a long and happy life. Well. That was something.
