Short story writers, you’ve got just a few weeks left to get your first draft in for The Shadows of Blackout Island. 15 August is the deadline for first drafts. What do I mean by first draft? I mean have your story about 75% done. Send it in, unfinished (or finished, if you’re that far!) […]
your teeth tore at my throat as my legs wrapped around your waist gripped you tight they were covered in half-healed crescent-moons themselves amongst a backdrop of purple bruises my screams silenced became moans and whimpers lifting your snarling face to mine your eyes shone like black discs and I bit your soft lips ‘tween […]
