KEZ'S CHRISTMAS ADVENT CALENDAR!
We gathered 12 writers from the H&C community and let them dip their hands into our Secret Santa bucket. From the bucket each writer pulled out a word, and from that word, they were asked to write and narrate a very, very short story.
Today’s word was… Coal.
And the story is Fuel Bills.
Written and narrated by Ben Errington (https://twitter.com/ben_errington)
Edited by Karl Hughes (https://twitter.com/karlhughes)
With evil Christmas music by Duncan Muggleton (https://temporalrecordings.wordpress.com)
Along with a seasonal spin on the original The Other Stories theme by Thom Robson (https://www.thomrobsonmusic.com/).
With debut novel Ten Tales of the Human Condition, novella Dye Pack, and short story collection Death Throes under his belt, Ben Errington’s fast-paced, chaotic, cinematic style has earned him many plaudits. He is one quarter of digital story studio, Hawk & Cleaver; co-founder of iTunes-busting fiction podcast The Other Stories, co-creator of the post-apocalyptic comic book El Marvo and co-host of horror movie discussion podcast Horror Hangout. Follow Ben on Twitter at @ben_errington.
You can join our Bookclub, Movieclub, and writing exercises over at Facebook.com/groups/theotherstories.
T-shirts, mugs, posters, and comic books are available at www.gumroad.com/hawkandcleaver
