My new short story “Lord of Time” free at Inscription Magazine

About two years ago, I had a vivid dream about a land with purple skies, a man in pain, a timid priestess in training, and a god who lived in a ramshackle house.  It became a short story, and you can read it at Inscription Magazine for free. Speaking of Inscription, it’s an awesome new
