TEXT: Pitch: 
Travis’s untimely death lands him 
in a lunar afterlife. 
There, he’s sentenced to return to Earth 
as a demon, 
tasked with tormenting the woman he loves 
and the man destined to murder her.
Things only get worse when Travis learns that facilitating 
her murder will mean he gets erased from existence.  
Only two days remain, and if he fails, 
a far nastier demon takes the reins...
and this guy has the reach to wreck all of humanity.Background: hazy blue with cityscape and a hand reaching in from the left.

Text: Opening Lines: Dragons aren’t typically known for loading dishwashers. 
But the one hunched beside Travis’s sink didn’t seem to care about tradition. Its spine scraped the ceiling, claws clinking as it dropped forks into the rack. Black scales swallowed the morning light, and when it sighed, smoke curled between needle teeth.
Travis’s socks slid on tile as he stumbled into the kitchen. His stomach dropped, knotting into a lump.
No. There could not be a dragon in his mother’s kitchen. Not with her pristine granite countertops and losa criolla backsplash tiles. If this thing so much as left a scratch, that fiery Puerto Rican would strangle him before the dragon could.
Travis swallowed, heart thumping in discordance with the morning bird song. He had to get rid of this thing.

Recently sent my latest short story off to a cool #indie Publisher.⚓️ It’s a locked-room thriller where a luxury yacht vacation turns into a lethal moral dilemma. A group of strangers must choose: who makes the ultimate sacrifice so the others live? Fingers crossed for a collaboration! 🤞✨ #amwriting
