• At Black Gate: "Stand at Dubun-Geb" by Ryan Harvey. Fantasy.
"Under a downpour of rain the slate faces of the Dubun-Geb Mountains were dreadful, and they stirred memories in the warriors clustered at their feet of campfire tales of the secrets lurking among the crags. In the days of the Hegemony, the Shapers had carved fortresses in the Dubun-Geb where they worked the magic of the Art on stone and metal. The Shapers had vanished, but no place stained with their sorceries forgot them."
• At Mad Scientist Journal: "Diary of a Turnip Girl" by Finale Doshi-Velez. Science Fiction.

• At Short-Story.me: "Tammy Lynn's Burden" by Rachel Villalobos. Horror.
"She wished she didn't live way out in the outskirts of town. In the middle of a half dead corn field with the nearest neighbor two miles away. She continued on at the slow pace, taking her time. Even as the 100 degree weather baked her brain, she would not hurry to reach the dirty little trailer sooner than she had to, Tammy Lynn refused to call it home. It was a prison, a cage, a place she dreaded returning to. Inside the trailer was the burden that would be chained to her for the rest of her life."
