Wonderful story.

They look like they're getting ready to torch the printing press of a paper that published an unflattering piece.

I love old greeting cards. Some are downright demented.

Poor goner-eyes! Someone save her! This has a festive, freaky, weird vibe that's perfect for the turn of the New Year: a celebration and a time to hold one's breath for what's around the corner. Very cool.

Ahh thanks, Garen! That means a lot to me. I'd try to save her, for sure.

Great story.

I can relate about the birds holding torches. In my most recent short story ‘Odd Little Suck’ I’ve got cows walking upright and doing dishes. I’m sure some of my readers are wondering, WTF? But that’s the point, and sometimes it’s best to let the reader wonder how the hell a bird could hold a torch, or a cow could do dishes.

Looking forward to reading more of your work.

Fantastic visual you created young man. Great job. Also, just a friendly reminder, ornithophobia is treatable. I have had a cancellation, so a 2pm consultation has opened up for tomorrow. Should I pencil you in? - Dr. Wilsky
