					<description><![CDATA[They stood in the doorway, framed by the heavy veil of night that blanketed the afternoon. The preacher with his pressed black cassock, the circuit judge with his riding clothes still dirt-stained from the road, and the sheriff with his glinting bronze badge were like a trinity delivering Esther to her damnation. <a href="https://medusatales.com/dance-the-sky-bright/" class="more-link">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Aurore is dead from the moment she walks into my shop.

Her entrance is accompanied by a soundtrack of clicking heels and an equally entitled whistle, the shrill notes of “Oh, my darling Clementine” ringing proudly in their dissonance. <a href="https://medusatales.com/oh-my-darling-my-forever/" class="more-link">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The air shifted, with a chill brushing away the warm October night. The scent of snow surrounded Kera, crisp and icy. No, not quite snow, but something harder, less forgiving. Stone, maybe. The air felt unnaturally still, like an invisible dome had encircled the pair and was magnifying yet isolating every sound. <a href="https://medusatales.com/gothic-girls/" class="more-link">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[She played him once, when he was alive. How could she refuse? Lucio Gresci’s reputation far exceeded her own, and his request was a summons, no matter how much she dreaded it. His studio was in a large detached house, walled and surrounded by gardens with a few fruit trees. <a href="https://medusatales.com/the-tiniest-of-vibrations/" class="more-link">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The humming fluorescence of the artificial sun faded, and with it faded Cyril’s motivation to finish his work. Despite the whirring air circulation systems, a stasis suppressed the room in which he stood, surveying rows and rows of growth pods. <a href="https://medusatales.com/the-glowing-garden/" class="more-link">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh it’s simple to freeze people, I grant you that. It’s not at all complicated to kill a human being by transmuting all their molecules into ice or quartz or marble or whatever. But let’s be honest with ourselves: that’s not art. That’s murder. <a href="https://medusatales.com/the-listener/" class="more-link">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’d braced myself for take-off more tightly than usual; her cursory pre-flight checks, the way she flicked switches and tapped dials unnerved me. The ancient Piper Cub bounced across the grass, revving too hard, its skittishness mirroring her mania to see the wave. <a href="https://medusatales.com/devil-ray-at-the-doorway/" class="more-link">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I crane my neck looking over my shoulder, trying to see my back in the bathroom mirror. It’s hard enough normally, but I barely have room, what with the delicate wings sprouting from my shoulder blades. <a href="https://medusatales.com/wings/" class="more-link">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
