Stories

See below for the list of all (two!) stories I have available so far, along with a story description, the approximate word count (because not knowing the size of a story I’m about to read up front is a severe pet peeve of mine), and links to any pertinent posts I have written regarding that story.

Serial-Stream-of-Consciousness Stories (SSCS’s)

The stories I have up so far are both part of my ongoing Serial-Stream-of-Consciousness collection, of which I hope to post a new one every year. Each story is stand-alone, and the style also differs from one to the next. If you want to know more about them as a collection, see the post on What are Anna’s SSCS’s?

In the middle of a desert, there is a valley of flowers frozen in time.  Long ago, something was stolen from it, and scouts have been sent out, winging through the furthest reaches of space to search and try to recover what was lost.  What they find is an even greater mystery.

How to Catch Flying Pigs, and Sea Monsters
A Serial-Stream-of-Consciousness-Story. No. 02 (2024)

Mina lives on a spire in the middle of the ocean, acolyte of the spire priestess gran-Tom.  Mostly this just means that hers is a life of never-ending chores.  But a ridiculous accident involving pigs, a kraken, and tea-time manages to dredge up some deeper truths (and maybe even a deeper purpose, as well).
Tone: magical mayhem (MC is very often vexed)
Content Warning: magical compulsion

Word Count: 19,700 (long novelette length)
