As promised to my subscribers on Patreon, this is the first of a monthly series I'm going to publish there exclusively. The story itself came pretty quickly, but the germ of the idea has been growing for some time.
The story is called "Five Houses", and I like to think of it as a horror confectionary, short and sweet, although there are layers.
Anyway, you can get it exclusively as a subscriber at this link to My Patreon page. I'll have a lot more to say about this series in general, and this episode in particular, in future posts.
In the meantime, enjoy, share, and let me know how you like it.
