(For the June Community Magazine on Royal Road) (Writing promt: Goblins and Grandmas) As he comes home from his last day at Hobgoblin Preparatory School, young Klunx finds out from his parents that he wouldn't be spending his last summer at home, but will be spending it at his grandmother's farm in The Swamps instead. While Klunx doesn't want to go, because he'd rather spend it playing with his best friend Urd, his father insists he has no choice. Also, his father says not to worry because Urd is coming, too. His father tells him that they must do well in the Mandatory Riding Affinity Exam after the summer, if they want to contribute in Gob-City. The only way to guarantee that, his father said, was to spend the next two months at Grandma Anya's farm; just like he did when he was young. But why would visiting Gran'ma Anyr help him for his Riding test? this is a lighthearted and mostly comedic adventure story about a goblin boy's adventures with his grandmother teaching him some important life skills on his road to becoming an adult goblin. Follow Klunx, a young goblin who has just graduated Preparatory School, who will be moving to Gob-City once the end of summer comes. Come September, he will do his Mandatory Rider Affinity Exam, and based on his performance he will be trained and he will become a Rider in a field that both work towards a goblins affinity for the Arts of Riding in its many forms, as well as benefits goblin-kind. He is sent away to his grandmother's farm in preparation, finding out through a series of high jinks that she may be more than a regular grandmother, more than a regular goblin.

Follow Estavir, an analogue for my psyche as he goes on a metaphorical journey, a climb up Mt.Sensan-Ghi. This book and its running narrative as well as other short stories were created as a way for me to work through my burnout. This is my first published work of fiction. It was conceptualised during a burnout I experienced back in 2017. With support from family, friends and a professional with whom to talk, I tried working through the burnout over the period of a year. At each stage of my journey I created a story to help me process. It's bizarre, a bit dark slightly existential and close to my heart. Please enjoy.
