Want to write a spooky story? There are 3 posts about superstitions on my Weird Wednesday blog, with writing prompts!

Mirrors: For now we see through a glass, darkly

A Forest of Superstitions: Folklore About Trees

Sample writing prompt:

Through the looking glass. Lewis Carroll is not the only one to imagine mirrors as portals to another world. It’s fun to play with the idea that things on the other side might be reversed: streets and neighborhoods, or maybe people’s personalities. What would happen if the past was also reversed? The winner of the war is the loser, someone who would have died lived a long life instead. A pair of people could be lovers on one side of the glass and enemies on the other.

I am thrilled to say that my horror story “The Falling” will appear on the podcast Thirteen as a Patreon exclusive!

A new flight attendant learns there are some things you don’t talk about in the air. 

During the drink service, the passengers seemed entirely normal, asking for juice or sparkling water, munching on dry little cookies from filmy packages. They had carry-ons, books, headphones, neck pillows, the same as always. And yet, Jackie was clutching the handle of the cart so hard her fingers turned white.

It didn’t help that the drink service created its own tension, worsening the quiet claustrophobia to be found up here in the wide-open sky. A seat on the aisle or near a door of a plane was like a seat anywhere, unremarkable. But a passenger in a window seat would need to wait on two others to move out of their way before even reaching the aisle, and the drink cart made it worse, filling the whole aisle, sealing off entire portions of the cabin as it moved. Today Emma felt like she was constantly on the wrong side of it.

Air date TBA
