The Viewless Dark

When Anthony found Flo dead, locked overnight in one of the reading rooms of the university library, he knew it must have had something to do with Mary. Mary Prestosa, fourth year graduating Philosophy student, whom they had been investigating. Mary, who surprised her roommate one night by suddenly standing up from her bed, throwing the windows open, and jumping down, headfirst, to the dormitory grounds below. Mary, whose memory marked the trail of mysterious deaths and bizarre occurrences that followed her own fateful fall: the fifth-year Computer Engineering student who prowled the campus on all fours, thirsty for blood, believing he was a wolf; the discovery of an all-girls’ satanic cult; the demonic possession of a fourth-year student from the Department of Psychology; and now—Flo, dead.

The students traced it all to Mary. They believed Mary didn’t commit suicide. They believed Mary tapped into something dark, and released it, and was consumed.

And Anthony was determined to pry out the truth.

room magazine + kaleidotrope

Ugh. Monday. But some good news:

  • Room Magazine has accepted my poem, “Hospital Work”, for their Labour issue (Issue 35.4). Room is “Canada’s oldest literary journal by, for, and about women. Published quarterly by a group of volunteers based in Vancouver, Room showcases fiction, poetry, reviews, art work, interviews and profiles about the female experience.” A good place to be.
  • My sci-fi story, “The Mechanic“, is in the Summer 2012 issue of Kaleidotrope. Feel free to share the link. Hope you enjoy reading.
  • I’ve seen a partial proof of A Bottle of Storm Clouds and it LOOKS GOOD.
