I'm an amateur author with plenty of short stories, most of which I keep to myself, but every now and then, I share them in groups.

How many robbing zombies would've been robbed by Rob Zombie if Rob Zombie could've robbed zombies in Sherwood way before zombies could've started robbing Rob Zombie alongside Robin Hood?

I have no doubts about this—Mark would be very proud!

Once again, I missed first place by just one vote (cast in the last ten minutes).

Still, this is the second time I’ve finished in 2nd place. I'm super happy!

I posted the story on Substack, read it here;

I started writing Nathaniel about 2 months ago in June, and recently finished it after some careful walk-throughs. As this story is just way too long to post here, counting about 4700 words and it's too much of a hassle to post it here correctly so if you'd like just follow the link in the comments.

I recently opened a #Substack account, so if you're on there too, be sure to follow and subscribe!

Plus I posted another short story yesterday—hope to see you there:

My story didn’t take 1st place—just missed it by a vote or two—but it did finish in 2nd place.

That’s freaking awesome too! 🥳

I’ve already submitted another story for the next theme, but first, let me just savor this moment. 😊🙏🏻

Thank you @crystallake.bsky.social , i had lots of fun!

After four days of writing I finished another short story for next month's theme, retaining a first person narrative for this story—but this time I also decided to go with a second person narrative as i found it quite fitting to tell this story.

The main character, though, isn't one you'd expect.😉

Yesterday my story was posted by the publisher on their Patreon page. The story has already garnered around eleven likes and five comments, filled with praise-Trevor commented, 'Great job. This is really good. I'm fucking creeped out.'

This is why I write--to creep people out in the best way I can.

Yesterday I started writing another story, I decided to keep the first person narrative (it's becoming my signature writing style)--in the opening itself we see our "hero" reflecting back to a pivotal day in his childhood, one that stayed with him for years to come. One that left a lasting trauma..
