The Muse & The Flame
by Mel Gough Emma J. Gibbon, Susan McDonough-Wachtman, Cara Fox, Cristina Bresser, A. Mangina, Howard Hachey, Harry Husbands, Daria Lee, CJ Mirren
About my short story in this anthology, Wings of Glass: Lucy is grieving. She has removed herself from the daily grind to mourn the loss of her lover. At a remote coastal cabin she tries to drone out the shock of his sudden death - until an unexpected and disconcerting visitor forces her to confront her grief, and the future.
Skinless touches and secret promises.
Recovered memories and windy mountains.
Obsessed stalkers and sentient awareness.
Terrible smells and salty flesh.
These are just a few of the bizarre love stories found within these pages.
Collected from the most obscure authors, The Muse and The Flame is an anthology worthy of any short story lover's shelf.

"Hey, babe," he calls, and beckons me over. "Missed you today. What's new with you?"
