Reach For It

An already spacefaring humanity comes into contact with aliens, not by war or peace but because the aliens take a wrong turn. Aloar is a deep-space explorer, more comfortable in the unknown than in the crowded cruise spaceship as he waits for maintenance. While a distraction is welcomed, he'd still prefer not to bleed from his nose as the telepathy-based aliens beg for directions directly into his brain.Available on Amazon (Alien Dimensions #25, 2023)

How Much Monster

Siyan is a hitman hired for a common sort of job but finds himself in an uncommon sort of building. The walls bleed, the hallways shift, and the people are fraying at the edges in terror.
There's a monster here, they tell Siyan. Siyan laughs and says, well now there's two.Available on Amazon (The Hunt Anthology, 2024)
