My short story “To Set Before the King” is live at the Interfictions Annex!

This is my fairy-tale story, though it’s not quite a fairy tale.

Cook reminds them all the time he could have opened his own two-star Michelin, but at heart he’s a butcher, and when he opens the deep freeze in the garage and sees the meat he knows what it is. But meat is meat, and Cook checks only for freshness before he starts trimming fat.

(Yes, that meat is just what you think.)
