“Seeking the Great Current” Daily Science Fiction (co-written with Sean Williams), (March 2018):
- “The ghost of this dead girl refuses to look at her body. But then, of course, she does look. They always do. It’s stiff and curled in on itself, eyes open, staring up at the moon. Her face is blank and pale, her rough-woven shift stained black. A shell necklace is knotted in her hair. Blue veins, darker than the unfinished tattoos around her ears, extend from the bite-mark in her neck down to her collarbone.”

- A fantasy story where a pair of thieves discover that they’re not the only criminals prowling the streets of Caravor.
