My little #RoundTableMentor 2026 story. #A #SF #SocialHorror

Moodboard for a manuscript with eight pictures aligned around a small text blurb in a file folder that reads:

“This killer shall go home with you and fill the void he left in your life and our workforce when he murdered your husband. He shall do every task you demand of him, until his debt is paid in full. Or you may kill him, here and now, like he killed your husband. What will you decide?”

Images (bottom left to bottom right):

Small green plant breaking through concrete; bottom of a metal pillar; surveillance notice; orange haze sunset; yellowish-tiled tunnel, a thin collar around a neck; woman’s face with hair obscuring her features; scaffolding and blue sky

With little graphics of a dome, a knife, a surveillance camera and a lock.

TWIN PEAKS X THE MAGICIANS Four estranged siblings get more blood than they bargained for when they perform a dark ritual to summon their missing eldest sister. Huge thanks to @roundtablementor.bsky.social for the support this year as I worked to finish the 3rd draft! #RoundTableMentor #A #F #H

In an enchanted rural town, four estranged siblings enact a dark ritual to summon their missing sister, who vanished four years prior. Their summoning spell contains a single command: COME BACK. When a monstrous creature begins killing townsfolk after dark, the siblings are forced to reckon with the possibility that their beloved sister may have returned to the nest in the most horrific way possible…and it’s up to them to make things right. But in order to do that, they must confront the reasons their sister left home in the first place.

The day they had the talk, Theo had checked a book on black holes out from the county library. This was how he came to associate the two in his mind’s eye: his eldest sister, and an incomprehensible cosmic body of intense gravity, from which even light could not escape. Wristwatches slowed when their wearers stepped across the threshold. Light bent back upon itself and was swallowed up into all the places where she had once stood.

After having narrowly avoided being sacrificed as a child, Mallow lives meekly and hides his impious thoughts to survive. But when the gods murder his partner, he'll do anything to bring him back to life–even if it means joining a cult and helping its charming leader kill the gods. #roundtablementor

“Were you serious—what you said about creating a ruckus?” “I’m rarely facetious,” Selene said, straight-faced. “Well, in that case…” He tapped the cover of the book, still held tight in her fingers. “What do you think about causing a bit of chaos between our warring empires?” #DVPit #A #RomCom 🏳️‍🌈
