But Hold Me Fast and Fear Me Not

Jeff had his best day of summer vacation come to an abrupt halt: the accident. Now no more soccer, no more bike tag, no more fun, but he doesn’t understand why. Perhaps re-living the day will help... “Not Wisely but Too Well” is a new story from Stefon Mears, author of Magician’s Choice and Surviving Telepathy.

Not Wisely but Too Well

The Pestilence, god of plagues, curses a small village. His dire priest ruins the fields, fouls the water, and transforms innocent villagers into rancid ghouls who crave human flesh. Enter two farmers, displaced by years spent fighting their baron’s war. They escort a priest of the Green Lord who might cure the village, if they can first brave the afflicted and overcome the deadly plague master. Can this unlikely trio save the village without destroying it? Or will they, like the villagers, succumb to The Curse of Valassa? This story received Honorable Mention in the fourth quarter of the 2012 Writers of the Future contest.
