These aren't the stories

Your Mother told you

No

These are the the stories your mother told you. No, these are the other stories.

This is it.

This is the end.

The end of the year.

Long ago, the Mayans told us the world would end in 2016. I think what they actually meant was that the year 2015 would end in the year 2016. If they

meant that, then they were dead on. Anyway, we have new patrons. Grant Longstaff, who wrote a fantastic

story for us a while back called Dissolution. I wholeheartedly

recommend that you check that one out. Also, Matthew Howell, he's actually a sleeper agent who

may not even realize himself that he is in fact going to be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig.

Congratulations, Matthew. Keep the phone on, they'll be in touch soon. If you two would like to be a

patron, head over to patreon
