It’s been a good run, but I think it’s time to take this one down. It was always more of a fun side project, a cute little story written more for myself than for anyone else. It’s gotten to the point where I think I have too many free short story singles out, and I need to take a few of them down to make room for the new ones.
My next short story collection, Beyond World’s End, is scheduled to release in May 2022, and it will include this story. I was originally going to hold a couple of stories in reserve and never release them as short story singles, just to incentivize people to pick up the collection. But now, I think it will be better to reward my faithful followers by releasing all of the stories as free singles first.
With that said, I don’t want to have all of these stories out at the same time, so that the month before the collection comes out, a person can just download all of them for free with one click. So moving forward, I’ll be putting up and taking down these free singles fairly frequently, and never have all of them up at the same time together.
So yeah, if you want to pick up this one as a free short story single, now’s the time to do it. By the end of the week, it will be gone.
