"Our Future Is Death", for #AugurMicros2025 @augursociety.bsky.social
CW: death.
#writing #microfiction

“Our future is death,” claimed the huge banner on the space station’s only mansion.
The warmest welcome they could have thought of, surely.
A stark contrast with the waiting lounge inside: carpets, flowers, comfort-scented candles. A client gave me a friendly nod. Here for refreshment, going by the pallor of her skin. Deceased in her late twenties, but the necromancy process had gained her some wrinkles.
It only worked when you got to this mortuary in time, but it worked.
As I stepped into the airtight pod for my application interview, all I could think of was that banner.

I just saw this referred to as "demonic Who Framed Roger Rabbit" by the Skiffy and Fanty Show

Welcome to Hornytown
Hornytown Chutzpah is a comedic noir novella by Andrew Hiller about a demon framed for murder in the Devil's corner of D.C. and the one dick who might have the Manischevitz to do something about it.

This campaign funds the print book, as well as an audiobook read by the author and his sister, both professional voice performers. This is our 30th Kickstarter campaign and we think it's worthy of some serious kvelling. We'll hope you'll join us.
