I could say many things about Patricia Court's stories, but "they lack complex characters" will never be one of them. This heartbreaking piece is, I think, a magnificent character piece, and it makes me long for the never-published anthology it was written for.

Currently on the schedule for the first Friday in July.
(Said with the caveat that @arttracy.bsky.social plays fast and loose with our schedule.)
New, from Hell Itself, "Sentinels" by Patricia Court
A great many people dismiss origin stories, but secondary-world stories about how something came about truly highlight the differences between that world and ours, which makes us reconsider our own. Whether they're connected to a franchise or standalone, I love them when done well. And this one is.
Now from Hell Itself, "A Tennis Match with a Queen Ant" by @reggiekwok.bsky.social
I have made a couple of changes to the @hellitself.bsky.social guidelines.
First, I've decided to set a minimum word count of 1,000 words.
Second, I've created a two-tier minimum number of rejections so longer stories require fewer to be eligible.
