I work a slow job and am looking for free short fiction online (no audio). I’m open to most genres, but I like some fantasy, magical realism, sci-fi, horror, or just anything kinda weird! I’m open to romance if it’s unique.
To be more specific, if it’s fantasy, I want it more subtle or just more unique than dragons (I read this story I loved called the Stolen Child written from the pov of both a hobgoblin and the human he stole and how their lives changed, this was a novel, though). I’m not really into paranormal/hauntings at all as far as horror, but down for anything else eerie. I tend to like when there’s a real world setting with a touch of magic as well.
Again, please be short, something I can ideally read within 1-5 hours ish!
*also, preferably newer-ish stuff or written after 1990s
