I recently did a poll on Twitter mentioning an old short story from 2002 that I’d been meaning to write up for some time. I was thinking of simply re-writing it and publishing it *but* I thought I’d ask for some opinions (and thanks to the 3 people who gave me theirs haha). The more…

The bell above my door rings and my heart jolts in my chest, sending a rush of adrenaline through my veins. I am torn; comfortable in my state of near-hibernation, reluctant to move… But this is my first visitor in months, drawn in by the ever-burning flame at the top of my tower—a waypoint in…
