[Short Story] Names Set in Stone | Folkloric Fantasy
I have a little publication announcement. My flash piece Names Set in Stone just went live online and free to read.

If you like quiet horror, folklore that hums beneath the surface, or stories where the inevitable still finds a way to surprise you… this one’s for you.
He has worked stone before: hard, pitiless rock that rang with every blow, refusing to yield. But the quarry’s stone is different. Soft as butter in the morning light, brittle as bone when the sun sets.
