A Curated Selection of Amusing Miscellany
A work published in Campfire’s Story Seeds: An Anthology.
Only a dyad may fully realize the invitation’s true capacity to health or harm.
Free to read and a Campfire account is not necessary to do so.
All 29 stories in this community anthology are worthy reads in their own rights, but if preferred, “Here I Kyth” is provided separately below.
A work first published by Windward Review in Vol. 20 (2022): Beginnings and Endings.
The trappings of modernity may chance an esoteric mitigation.

My writing is on page 28, but I encourage the reading of everyone else’s efforts as well.

Another story inspired by a foundation less storied than the others, but profound nonetheless. After all, a maiden, a tower, and captivity are themes often bound together and their manifestation frequent enough across multiple tellings.
In this retelling of “The Maiden Stolen Away”, we have an unusual context to capacity and one’s prerogative to determine the means and use.
Read and enjoy below.
The idea is simple: expand on a set of fairy tales while framing it around leading ladies from various tabletop campaigns. I plan to write five of these and so far, this is my favorite one.
In this telling of “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”, we have a Kaguya who seeks to mercilessly strangle her predetermined fate with any resource at her disposal as opposed to passively waiting for the dice to fall where they may.
Read and enjoy below.
