A trip to Washington DC quickly turns into a disaster when explosions start ripping apart the city, leaving a high school group of young ambassadors scattered and shellshocked. The twist at the end is something you will never see coming.
Waking Up in a Cell
How would you react if you woke up in a jail cell, with no recollection of how you got there? This mystery will keep you guessing until the last word.
The Drive
Life is seemingly normal as Loretta and Mick travel down a dark road after a work party. The sudden, screeching halt of their car however has other plans.
The Quietus
Arabella never thought her life could get any worse - that was until she died (#FML, or #FMD actually). Sophia is the best Grim Reaper in the biz, but she's about to get her strangest assignment yet. One harrowing adventure across the underworld will change both their afterlives forever.
The Authors
Kayla and Steph talked 11 years ago about dreams of becoming published authors, both looking at half-written books and bouncing around ideas. Now here they are releasing a great short story collection for free for everyone. They hope you enjoy it!

Steph O'Connell
Steph O'Connell is a whimsical spirit who haunts the corridors of libraries and bookshops. Always found with her nose stuck in a book. While her interests are as eclectic as they come, she feels most at home among the fantastic: fantasy, science fiction, tabletop games and RPGs, the gothic, and all things weird. She teaches college writing and literature and writes copy for her local theater. Her short fiction has been featured in The Fine Print and Red Hyacinth. Perhaps her dreams of being a Ravenclaw, Waterbender, or Rivendell elf are a bit unrealistic, but every good Book Wyrm knows that some worlds are more than real.
