Let me preface this by saying that I do not celebrate Holloween but I know that many people do, and the story I have is appropriate to the season. It is a darker tale that has nudged at the back of my brain for years.
It has been about seven years since I last wrote an original fantasy short story. But I recently got a new writing device (which I will review later) and this was my first piece written on it.
You will now see a new page available on my website. One that I have been intending to add for a long time but did not have suitable content for: Free Fictionis your portal to a new library of imaginative tales which I will be populating with original stories as I am inspired to do so.
The first story is up, and I think you will enjoy it. It is titled Chormain’s Deadly Good Deed. This is written from the dragon’s point of view, thus providing a unique perspective on the theme. Enjoy, and do feel free to leave a comment on the story if you wish to!
