I wrote this story over a year ago now, and it was part of my We Shadows publication. In my attempt to organize things, I decided to pull it back out and give it a refresh. So, here it will sit, perhaps it will expand into more at some point.

For now,

I welcome you in,

through The Thirteenth Door.

Again…

An entertaining conversation between the Brain, the Heart, and the Gut.

This story is part of the Indie Ink Fund Portals worldbuilding challenge.

The Challenge

“This month, we are building a world together.
Portals is a month long worldbuilding challenge hosted by Indie Ink Fund.
Writers and artists are invited to explore what happens when mysterious portals begin appearing across the globe.” Indie Ink Fund

This magical world was inspired by the incomparable Aoife Casey and her magical Flower Faerie creations. She offered a couple of her beautiful pieces for the Spring issue of Moonlight & Mulch, and decided that I needed a custom Faerie of my own. I am absolutely honored to be given such a gift.

During our email correspondence, a few ideas got tossed around, and this idea was the one we both saw potential in. So, with the wonderful inspiration of her stunning artwork, I present to you, “A Land of Liminal Faeries: A tale from the in-between”

A letter from the neurons of my brain.
