Planet-Destroying Twins and Spontaneous Haunted Houses: The 4 Short Stories I Published in 2023

Four of my short stories were published in 2023.

(Technically one came out December 30, 2022 but I’m rounding that one up since most people I know didn’t read it until after the new year.)

Because I am focusing on a longer writing project and comic book scripts for the next few months, these will most likely be my only short stories published in 2023. Therefore, I’m going to go ahead and lay them all out here in one place.

If you want to visit the full list of short stories I’ve published, you can check them out here.

A pair of siblings fight over the creation (and destruction) of the world.

This story is short, but it may be set over a longer period of time than any other story ever written (correct me if I’m wrong).  

Thousands of people around the globe are mysteriously transported to an otherworldly labyrinth, but even when they “escape” their troubles are not yet over.

I have always loved labyrinths, and writing stories not told in chronological order so this was right up my alley.  

An alien who grew up on earth helps her family find their real home.

I went through a lot of drafts on this one but the beginning and ending always stayed the same.

A homemade haunted house built in July (why wait until October?) takes an unexpected turn.

Had the most fun writing this one. Also, I just have to share that the layout of the house is based on my in-law’s home.
