"But enough with the veiled warnings."

"There are a lot more seems-haunted old-house-turned-traveller’s-rest places than most people think, and in my experience most night auditors are hollow-eyed, faintly eldritch, and disinclined to let someone check in just before dawn." "The Late Traveller" by dyce (Sarah Blackwell) is a short fantasy story set at "a little old hotel in the middle of nowhere, with a creaking wooden sign instead of neon".

Dyce is an old dear friend, and I am thrilled to see how much attention her writing has gotten lately!

I am also a -terrible- friend and only just realized she has a patreon!

I suppose that makes me a terrible spouse, because I thought I had told you about her Patreon - I'm already a supporter...

(FritoKAL being my spouse)

Fun short story to start the day.

Nice to see MetaFilter enabling more spouses to communicate.
