My urban fantasy story Dragonsbreath has been published in Spectacular, Spectacular!: An Anthology of Circensian Horror by The Dionysian Public Library. It’s the story of a teen forced to wear a fireproof mask to protect himself and others from a power he can’t control.

The woman’s head lurched forward as her SUV slowed to a jarring stop, its bumper only inches from the police car parked sideways across her lane. Half a dozen emergency vehicles crowded the street ahead of her. There were police cars. Fire trucks. An ambulance.

The woman watched with mounting horror as a pair of paramedics lifted a gurney out of the ambulance and began wheeling it up the driveway of a nearby house.

Her house.

“Ma’am? Are you the mother?”

She nodded, never taking her eyes off her daughter’s lifeless body.

“Do you recognize this?”

The hand held a large plastic evidence bag in front of her face. Inside was a black fabric mask. It resembled a ski mask made from a thick fireproof material with ovals of dark tempered glass protecting each eye.
