I know I'm *far* from being better (mentally, I'm thankfully on the mend physically) but there's a bit of light shining through. It's going to be an extremely long journey, and one I may never see come to an end. Thank you to those who have stuck around and/or offered their kindness.

My short story for Oct is here! WORKING DOGS is a queer spec fic western with ghosts. A stranger arrives at Case's ranch with a bullet wound and three vengeance-driven hunters on his tail as winter settles in 🍂❄️ Part 1/2 www.patreon.com/ArdenPowell/... Part 2/2 www.patreon.com/ArdenPowell/...

Story excerpt:
Bears dozed in their dens; a wolf pack streaked across the plains, their cries cutting through the frozen air like silver wires; bison and aurochs ploughed through the snow to paw up the vegetation underneath, their breath steaming from huge nostrils like a bellows, icicles clinging to their beards; painted mustangs thundered through the hills on their way to thinner snows; mammoths came down from the far north tundra; they looked like moving mountains against the horizon, their shaggy domed heads and sloping backs crusted in snow. The days passed in a blink and the nights stretched out in spans of cold galaxies as the wind howled in the chimney. Jack cut firewood as Case hauled feed and hay to the stable to keep the horses fit despite the pastures’ scarcity. When blizzards stormed in, they passed the time in bed by the firelight, breathing against each other like animals in their burrow as the snow stuck to the windows and barricaded the door.

UNFORTUNATELY... I am old and need to bring up the pattern on a bigger screen to see what colors are close enough to combine. But so far I've easily cut over 100 hours of time. I know that because I timed myself the first time and yikes.

Back on my bullshit (cross stitching). The project I started is being restarted because I didn't realize grid fabric comes in black, and I'd probably spend even more hours doing just black and then needing to dye it for the look.

The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.

Color, illustrated book cover. The title is "The Price of Peace" by Senka Heksum. The illustration depicts two women beside a fireplace, one is shorter with wavy black hair and white eyes, being hugged by a taller woman with blonde, braided hair and scars on her face. The shorter woman's expression is serene, while the taller woman's is intense. A shadow cast by the taller woman has the shape of a wolf's head

I think maybe it was a Twilight Zone episode or something part of an anthology, but it was an episode of an old lady in a rocking chair and this fly or maybe flies? Then this movie of something coming out of the tub and cloning people. Also Poltergeist. All watched at my dad's. ☠

It's October! Enjoy some short webcomic ghost stories from the haunted corners of the Arkansas Ozarks. In fact, that's most of the corners around here. www.backwoodfolk.com/ghosttowns/

"the reliable narrator has a story to tell you"

Four panels approaching a man by a fire. As you get closer you see the man's face is an open skull. Even closer and you see his very alive eyes sitting in his sockets.

"Take a seat by the fire, and I'll tell you a story. If you listen close, you might see it."
