My Patreon short story contest appears to be a success! Each month, I draw a name from my patrons and they get to tell me what kind of story they want me to write. I  completed October’s short story, titled Tom, on Halloween.  

Want to read it? All you have to do is subscribe to my Patreon, below. Even just $1/month will get you access to this and all future stories AND will get you an entry into the hat to tell me what to write!

I’m already working on November’s story, as suggested by Cassie Cook-Ward. I hope you’ll join me on this amazing ride!

From Joe's writing

The cellar was covered in an incredibly thick coating of dust and cobwebs, and a rusty furnace rested against the far south wall. A tiny slit of a window stood high on the west wall, but the view was obscured by both a thick layer of grime that coated the glass from the inside and a thick patch of weeds and ivy that grew up and over the window from the outside. The dust on the floor was undisturbed, which probably meant that the two boys were the first to walk the floor in a very long time.
