A few weeks ago, friend and fellow writer Nathan Marchand suggested that we swap short stories. He would write in one of my worlds and I would write in one of his.
He chose Vienna, USA, because I’d been promoting it. He came up with “The Discarded Gift,” a Christmas story that takes place on the supposed end of the world, Dec. 21, 2012.
I’m offering it as a PDF. At 6000 words, I figure it’s easier to read as a PDF than on my site.
Here’s the download: [download file=”https://worksofnick.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/The-Discarded-Gift-A-Story-From-Vienna-USA.pdf” title=”The Discarded Gift”] (I ask for email address because I’m planning to start a mailing list in in 2013.)
Enjoy this free story! I’ll be adding my short story in the coming weeks, once I finish it. It takes place in the world of Destroyer, Nathan’s giant monster story.
