Well, last week was the Final Installment of SSCS 02: How to Catch Flying Pigs, and Sea Monsters.

I hope you found it an interesting ride!

The next SSCS will start up next January. Although, as usual, SSCS 03 was written using the same approach as the first two SSCS’s, I feel like it came out feeling more intentional than either of those first two, and I’m looking forward to being able to share it with you.

Although I won’t be posting the SSCS 03 story title or first installment until next year, below is a tiny sneak peek with two clues about the story to come. 1. An obscured version of the icon image. 2. The very first paragraph, which, weirdly for me, kinda came to me in a dream.

Any guesses about what sort of adventure awaits in 2025? Here’s one more clue: This one is going to be a little bit creepy.

SSCS 03 sneak peek:

The first time I saw them, the lions, I didn’t know I should be afraid.  For all their roaring, for all the sprawling mass of their domain, they seemed separate from the real world, like the things I saw out the bus window were just pieces of a dream and didn’t really mean anything.
