My Arrival
by Sue Renol

On bloodied knees I kneel before the Great One. In my heart I feel this honor is undeserved by my earthly body made of flesh. I am not eternal. I am only a meager thing which will one day wither and be no more. It looks down on me with eyes that convey nothing. Their stone gaze tells no tale. But the Great One’s piercing existence into my mind shows me all I need to know. My destiny is laid out in great detail.

However fearful of what comes next, I am grateful for playing such an important role in the Great One’s plan. My blood will purify the next to carry the burden, the exchange for living within its world when it could devour us at will.

As I step up to the altar, the blade is ready and waiting for my arrival.

Wicked Deeds: Witches, Warlocks, Demons and Other Evil Doer’s

Sometimes wicked people do wicked things simply because they can… The twelve stories in Wicked Deeds tell tales of witches and warlocks with ill intent, devilish demons bent on destruction, and other doers of evil who make the world a terrifying place. What is a mother to do when her daughter is gifted but lives under the thumb of her fanatical preacher husband who will brook no talk of the supernatural? What of a demon so desperate to free himself of a trap that he will force another to repeat his atrocities and condemn a young boy to his demonic fate? Or maybe the story of a crotchety old witch with a score to settle against the town she lives in is more to your liking – what evil will the seemingly harmless town-crazy call upon when faced with an ultimatum? If you’re looking for wicked people with supernatural abilities doing wicked things, this is the collection for you!
