Phoenix

One month.

Thirty-one stories.

Thirteen challenges.

One faerie empire.

And somewhere in the darkest reaches of space, trapped aboard the living ship they each came to by a different route, three human fugitives fighting to stay alive.

Brianna wants to rescue her employer's child from a fate which must be worse than death. Krati wants revenge for a world and a childhood destroyed. Adela just wants to find a place she can call home. These 31 very short stories weave their tale from start to finish, between those of the occasional post-apocalyptic lemonade stand or vampiric Tyrannosaurus Rex. Written entirely during July 2019 as a part of Flash Fiction Month.
