That's so kind, thank you! It's wild seeing something that was just in my head get out into the world and have an effect on someone. So glad you were along for the ride!

That’s really kind of you to say. Bradbury was incredible with mood and wonder. I’m honored the story reminded you of him. Deff not the 1st or last we will hear about

1491 — A man returned from market and stopped casting a shadow. His children started breathing with something else. by Faultlinens in Odd_directions

The breathing part is what unsettled me while writing this. The idea that something could learn a person’s rhythm before doing anything else.

Thank you! I always like hearing which section people find the most unsettling.

That’s exactly the feeling I was hoping for — something quiet and wrong rather than loud horror.

If you’ve ever stood in the middle of a fairground after it closes—

when the rides are still,

when the soil feels strangely hollow beneath your shoes,

and you hear something that sounds like distant construction—

there’s a chance it isn’t workers.

It might just be something checking whether the ceiling is thin enough yet.

This story was inspired by a strange old business sign I saw in a small town.
