Trials by Fire- Short fiction that dares to burn.

 

This is where the raw stuff lives.


Short stories sent in by writers who don’t flinch—fiction that hits fast, burns bright, and leaves its mark.


Some are jagged. Some are strange. Some feel like warnings.


But every piece here was forged in pressure, sharpened by voice, and made to be read.


Step in.


These aren’t just drafts. They’re sparks.


STILL- a short and soft apocalypse by Elowar Bo (pdf)Download

Got something short, sharp, and impossible to ignore?

We’re calling on writers who don’t play safe—those with stories that bruise, burn, or break something open. Fiction that moves fast and cuts deep. Stories that leave a mark in under 5,000 words. Send us your best. The rawer, the better. If it holds, we’ll put it through the Trial.
