• At Author's Site: Thieves' Honor, ep 25: "Walking Through Walls, part 3"  by Keanan Brand. 
     "This week's episode is a "director's cut", containing deleted scenes cut from what was originally published in Ray Gun Revival. They were lost due to length—the episode was already too long"
• At Buzzy Mag: "The Composer" by Grant Grogan.
      "A heart-shaped vise tightened in Heather’s chest as she walked the overgrown stone pathway. It was not so long ago that she was sneaking down this same path under a starlit sky, shoes in hand, with anticipation coursing through her like an electric current."


• At Short-Story.me: "Escape to Here" by Ol Wilson. Fantasy.
      "The Eastern Gate was deserted, save for the huddled family that awaited transfer to the Deep. He could see from their dirty and malnourished faces that they were no surface dwellers, their skin was too ashen and pale, pallid even in the sweet air of the cities' edge. No, these people were from the Deep, the shanty slum that rose from the core, eight levels down. Those that lived there often gave it a different name however; many simply called it Hell."

• At Short-Story.me: "Taken, One after Another" by Tim McDaniel. Fantasy.
     "That was the way it was, ever since the dead started walking again – the Zombie Uprising that had seemed like just a stupid joke until it actually happened.  How?  Who knew.  Why?  An even more impossible question.  We just crouched in the darkness of the Payless Shoes storage room, keeping quiet.  Dark, so maybe they wouldn’t see us.  Quiet, so maybe they wouldn’t hear us."

• At The WiFiles: "Barnett Hill" by Anne E. Johnson.
     "The wagon accident three years before had broken her spine, so she couldn’t walk. Her so-called husband?in name only, as they say?had no idea what to do with her. Every day he wheeled her out onto the porch and left her there. For hours and hours sometimes, until he or one of the farmhands happened to remember she existed, and wheeled her in again."
