Faerie undergoing social change, a Lydian goddess seeking divorce, a detective encountering the supernatural, a man saying goodbye, a woman beginning something new, the anniversary of a passage, a boy discovering himself, a flower's regret, and pioneers in a distant time and place: these stories set in the universe of The Empty World Sequence deal with literal and figurative reflection and the crossing from one stage of life -- or death -- into another.

My second collection of short stories, but longer than the works in my Read my Shorts collection. This volume consists of anything more than 1000 words and includes new works, re-writes of a few older pieces and anything else I found on my computer that I'd forgotten to post before. It will contain steampunk, historical fiction, urban fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, sci-fantasy, horror, paranormal, general oddity and anything else that happens to fall out of my ears as ideas formulate into stories. Enjoy. Comments and constructive feedback always welcomed.

the depth of short stories and microfiction by Amethystwolf19

I am pleased to present my short stories and micro-fiction collection, a compilation of carefully crafted narratives that aim to captivate readers with their depth and intricacy. Each story is meticulously written, with a focus on character development and thought-provoking themes. The collection covers a wide range of genres, from suspenseful thrillers to heartwrenching dramas, ensuring that there is something for every reader's taste. Despite the considerable effort put into this collection, I must express my disappointment with the lack of recognition it has received thus far. The stories within this collection are deserving of a wider audience, as they offer a unique and engaging reading experience. I invite readers to immerse themselves in the world of my short stories, micro-firction and discover the hidden gems within.

The World In-Between by LaDarnellLilith

Twenty-five and lost, Alex retreats to their ancestral house in a quiet countryside to escape the noise of a life that refuses to add up. Not a single dream fulfilled, not a clear path in sight. Just questions that echo louder in the silence. Then, in a forgotten room and an old mirror that doesn't quite reflect things right, Alex stumbles into a world. Not entirely real but not entirely false either. A place shaped by fear, memory, and all the roads not taken. In its strange landscapes, and fragments of self long buried, Alex must journey through the realm that mirrors the very crisis she is running from. Because to find the way forward, sometimes one have to go to the world in-between.

The Owl by DuckyandtheNut

A man wanders alone, lost in both time and thought in the quiet solitude of a vast forest. Under a watchful gaze, he confronts the fragmented memories of his past; his regrets, his joys, and the weight of a life lived. He relives moments of love, parenthood, and missed opportunities and finds himself reflecting on those moments of his life that consume him. This novella explores the nature of reflection, the human struggle to make peace with the self, and the choices that shape us through rich allegory and profound introspection. With stunning imagery and a narrative that invites readers to reflect on their own lives, this is a meditation on the burdens we carry and the paths we ultimately choose to walk. - - - Winner of the 2025 March Writer's Crown from the Watthub Community
