He crashed through fragile flame: An unseen soul struggling to crawl from candlelight. He latched onto the hand of the medium leading the séance.

For the first time, the conwoman heard the dead speak.

“Save yourself!” he said. “These people murder psychics!”

“No Quarter, No Return”

No one can beat the level 256 kill screen ghost. Art by me for October’s #SciFanSat theme of SPIRIT! Authors, 14 days remain until submissions are due on October 22nd. Full details at scifansat.com/landing.html!

#SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy #WritingPrompts

A science-fantasy horror illustration of the level 256 kill screen ghost of urban arcade legend since 1980. It is a simple, 2-D cartoonish sheet-style ghost of 8-bit raster graphics and neon mazes brought to a phantasmal electron wireframe 4-D reality of purple video distortion. Its victims — and none skilled enough to unlock the level 256 glitch ever escape it — are said by some to compress inward into nothingness at its touch, starting with a scream from an impossibly widening mouth folding in upon itself.

He hasn’t noticed he’s been dead for six months. Unlike the others, I can see him working in his still vacant office.

“Hey Boss, I brought you coffee,” I say putting a cup on a dusty desk. “Let’s take a break.”

“There’s too much work.”

“No. No, there isn’t.”

A horror illustration from the distorted perspective of a wide-angle entrance camera. A family in creepy masks carry bloodied weapons, some sporting sanguine stains on themselves as well, while the father knocks with the tip of his baseball bat on the door.

Every time we rebel with our own passion, some tragic impact ruins our imagination. We must focus immediately or minds lose grasp over ONE more precious "idea".

Writing surely depends on extreme conscience.

(( The poet never reads a "wrong" page before the last line! ))

🙏🏻 Jason, Kim, & Bartleby, for publishing “Rebel with a Hope.”

This “abduction” story has a special place in my heart, & it was submitted to #SciFanSat at 11:59pm—nothing like the last minute to spare!

I’m delighted everyone has the chance to read it.

I’d be pleased to know what you think of it.

“Draconic Sorceress”

The September #SciFanSat cover art I made for the new issue coming out this Saturday wasn’t designed with that role in mind. She started as a fantasy portrait crafted for fun, but then I took a shine to her punk-rebel vibe.

#SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy

A fantasy illustration of a draconic sorceress. She has human and dragon ancestry, with scales on her neck and left shoulder/arm. Her features are largely human elsewhere, except for yellow draconic eyes and the red scales around them that match her hair, then dissipate into freckle-like markings on her face. She smiles wearing a dragon-themed headpiece and revealing top.
