Life Advice from the Recently Deceased. by alixblack_

Spirits Passing might sound like another run-of-the-mill bar name to the unsuspecting passerby, but the reality is much more complex. That's why I started writing this journal. My run as the barkeep at Spirits Passing will be coming to an end sooner or later. These stories are for the barkeep that comes after me, and the one after them, and every single barkeep that takes up the mantle after that. We help souls process their death and make sure they are ready to transition into their afterlives. If you're reading this, well, you must be the next barkeep.

Life Incomplete by FliederAmanda

Groban - his friends all call him Groot - had everything to make his life complete: an awesome dad, and great friends. That all changed when his closest friends were killed in a car accident on the cross-country trip they'd started and he was supposed to meet up with them to complete. Now, their four lives fit onto one funeral program, and Groban and the rest of his friends' loved ones are left behind to pick up the pieces. Content Warning: tragic loss, funeral and burial scenes, survivor's guilt, grief, mention of queer rejection by parents

Mood Ring by saymen

Many might see death and its companions (e.g. grief, depression etc.) as harmful experiences in life. But this story tries to tackle this perception and recount a story that portrays my view of death as an old friend that pays his visits not because he enjoys seeing you die, but because he cares about your transition. After all, life is what's killing us, death is just the observer, one that cares more about you than you might expect.

Facing It by Childizh_Milasia

Family ain't always blood...

The Demon's Deal by JarlVersavel

When a personal grudge threatens to endanger the lives of not only himself but of all the people he holds dear, Seamus the half-orc is forced to enlist the help of his friends in order to deal with the threat. Yet not all is as it seems, and the journey eventually forces him to make an impossible choice. For exactly how wise is it to put your trust in a demon's word? ---------------------------------------------- NOTE from the writer: This is the short story I wrote based on a D&D arc in the game I run as a dungeon master. I plan to release a chapter every week, sort of episodic! It is also the spark that eventually led me to publish my first novel: The Lady's Gift - Part One of the Chosen Saga. I posted this as an example of my writing style, so if you like this, be sure to check out the novel through my profile and blog link! Hope you enjoy, and any criticism or comments are very, very welcome.
