Thanks Gabino.
New story in the Schlock! Webzine.
I tried to write a cosmic horror story and ended up with whatever "Mile High Death Club" is.
A rock band brings on the end after driving their fans worldwide to mass-sacrifice...

After my English debut story was published in 2022, it took until 2024 before I started writing short stories consistently, and in 2025, my stories began to see the light of day again.
Massive thanks to every single editor/publisher and reader!
See you around in 2026.

I'll just selflessly repost this little 200-word micro fiction thing I wrote here. I titled it "Womb to the Tomb", it's utter nonsense, but might just usher in a new subgenre I call fetus noir. So, get your weird on, enjoy...you're welcome.
