A collection of short stories I wrote in 2019. They tend to be scifi, fantasy, horror, and just weird fiction. All kinds of weirdness. Seven stories in total.

Excerpts below:

"Witch's Brew"

What we know for certain is that several groups of potential males and females were exposed to a synthesized compound, HCD-79. Its chemical composition has yet to be determined. The formula was developed by focusing and adapting folklore remedies and various eponymous “witch's brews.” These “recipes” primarily included toxic flora.

"The Perfect Pedal Board"

He shows me one and it's painful to look at. Really hurt my eyes. It's like if bismuth was radioactive and day glow. If you look at it too much it looks like it's moving and melting and slimy but I think that might have been some acid in my spine. Cus if you do acid it never leaves your spinal chord and like you'll occasionally trip for a few second when you crack your spine.

"Job Hunt"

RINZIK LOOKED out at the aurora of neon threatening to blind her. A nightmare that haunted her waking moments and sometimes her dreams. Night and day didn't seem to exist. The trains, monorails, air ways never ceased. The skies were reliably cloudy. Rumor had it that was to cover up the Ministry of Intelligence's city wide floating headquarters. They were perpetually spying on everyone like some heavenly deity. The gigantic buildings creaked, the streets bustled with workers getting off or heading to a job, and occasionally you could hear screams as someone beat them to death.

"BRAINWAVES"

JONATHAN EDGERS is kind of a legend in the electronic recycling world or at least in Seattle. The man who made the least stable home brew operating system and a collection of incomprehensible applications that can only run on that OS. The best part of all this is what makes him a legend; he allegedly tried to digitize his brain. I've heard at least 12 different takes on that story. They range all the way from believable to insane.

"The Wolf Prince"

My first time urban exploring was an abandoned asylum in the Puget Sound. I grew up in Tacoma. Parents moved me to Seattle's boring little suburb of Maple Leaf when I was 15. The Seattle Freeze is the real deal and friends were hard to come by. I had nothing to do but aimless walk about Seattle on my days off from school. Those old buildings that ran up and down Pacific Ave in Hilltop captured my imagination. Everything that my mind could conjure lay just beyond those doors. My mom hated when I'd go down to Journal Square to capture photos of what was old Seattle. The world, in my naive teenage mind, was safer back then.

Content Warning: Assault, murder, torture, body horror, etc. All the usual tropes you're used to in these works.
