Elric "The Black Petals" Pt 2 of 3, Tons of Flash Fiction, and More

A ton of flash fiction today, part two of the three-part Elric story at StarShipSofa. I don't have too many details about that but Moorcock + Elric + StarShipSofa = awesome! And three longer tales for your enjoyment. I have been having trouble with my internet all morning so I might have missed something - in which case it will be added either tonight or tomorrow.








@Ray Gun Revival: "On A Crooked Planet" by Dan Larnerd. Science Fiction.

"Hanging in orbit was the UES Pierre Cruzatte; a long range survey ship that resembled a submarine more than the starships from twentieth century television. It had no windows and no graceful curves; just thick titanium bulkheads, blinking sensor arrays and a monstrous interstellar drive."

@Yesteryear Fiction: "The Dragon King" By Robert William Shmigelsky. Fantasy.

"The high wind, tossing and turning over top of a vast kingdom of castles, mansions, towers, halls and arks, flew towards a tall, distant blue tower, which spiraled up into the night sky to the top of the veiled heavens beyond like a whirlwind pulled up from the ocean and frozen into place."
