Free Stories

Occasionally, I may have reason to post a story directly to my blog rather than sending it out for publication. I'll collect those here for easy access. I hope that you enjoy reading them!

  • The Chamber (200 words, originally posted 9/6/2011) - This was written for a challenge as part of the Platform-Building Writers Campaign.
  • My Name is Imago Montoya... (200 words, originally posted 9/22/2011) - This is more of a vignette, than a story per se. It was written for the second challenge in the late-2011 Platform-Building Writers Campaign. This story was the 8th-highest ranked out of the 192 submitted.
  • Vacation in Paradise (300 words, originally posted 10/19/2011) - My entry for the third challenge in the late-2011 PBWC.  This story was the 8th-highest ranked out of the 131 submitted.
  • The Morandini Genie (about 995 words, originally posted 11/4/2011) - The first in my "Call and Response" Flash Fiction series, based on a prompt by David Powers King. A slightly-revised version of this story has been picked up by Cast of Wonders to be run as a Podcast.
  • Abandoned Items (about 275 words, originally posted 11/18/2011) - The second in my "Call and Response" Flash Fiction series, based on a prompt by Nellie.
  • Great-Uncle's Visit (334 words, originally posted 5/30/2012) - This story was written for the "One Sentence Story" Twitter challenge. The challenge is described in more detail in the post with the story itself.
