The Covenant of the Hollow Womb (A three-part Ozark folk-horror novella) In the iron-dark hollers of Caldwell Ridge, the mountain keeps its own scripture. 1888. Mercy Caldwell makes a bargain with something older than sin: one child every generation, measured exact, paid in blood and breath. The cradle never burns. The handprint never fades. The psalm is always sung backward. A century later, the tithe comes due again. Three women, three lifetimes, one cradle. Mercy, who spoke the covenant. Temperance, who tried to break it. Clara, who was born to finish it. They all thought they could outrun the mountain. They all learned the mountain doesn't chase. It waits. It rocks. It hungers. Some debts are measured in inches. Some debts are measured in souls. The Hollow Womb is full... ...but never satisfied.

In a future where AI and robotics make most human labor unnecessary, the world's elite quietly decide the masses are expendable. Their solution: Nexaphine, a fentanyl-based compound disguised as a miracle cure for the opioid epidemic mixed with a virus spreading amongst deer populations. But Nexaphine doesn't kill quietly. It transforms its users-stripping away empathy, igniting rage, and leaving behind something less than human, yet terrifyingly alive. As cities burn and governments collapse, a small band of survivors uncovers the truth: humanity wasn't destroyed by accident-it was culled on purpose. Now, they must navigate a world where the line between human and monster blurs, and survival may mean becoming something unrecognizable. The Last Prescription is a chilling, near-future horror novella about power, disposability, and what it truly means to be human in the age of machines. © 2025 MM.
