Threadbare: A Short Story

What happens when your gift turns against you?

All her life Bess has known the magic streams around her, waves of power she can draw from to wield the gift of magical threads. Now the youngest member of a team of Anchors, she helps protect the city streets from Drifters—energy thieves who prey on the life force of ordinary humans.

But when a battle leaves Bess’s threads in an irreparable tangle, she is faced with an agonizing choice: sever her threads and lose her magic forever—or be slowly consumed by her own power.

Orrie’s first indie publication, a contemporary fantasy short story she poured out while processing some intense emotions about having to put down her lifelong book project in 2016. Recommended for early teens and up. Some magical fantasy violence and peril.

There is dragon blood inside me. I will not be his prey.

Drawn by his allure, Theryn left everything behind to live with Roth in his mountain cave. But then her fiery-eyed husband transformed into something else: a monster of scales, claws, and wings. The dragon has only one use for her—to bear his dragon egg, now forming in her womb. After the egg is laid, she will be nothing but fresh meat.

But Theryn refuses to suffer the same fate as Roth’s former brides. For her own sake, and for the baby dragonshifter she carries, she must find a way to escape the monster, and break the enchantment of the dragon lyric.

Thraunya, Trae, and Alison’s dark, fiery fantasy novelette about the power of a mother fighting back tooth and nail against abuse and entrapment. Some fantasy violence and heavy themes. Recommended for older teens and up.

A dream-traveling boy haunted by a broken girl. A cursed warrior, weary of bloodshed. A princess who battles dragons in an enchanted slumber. A treacherous graveyard in the stars.

From Bethany A. Jennings—author of Threadbare and Dragon Lyric—come twelve mesmerizing short works of poetry and prose that boldly pierce the shadows. Severed Veil contains a selection of fantasy, sci-fi, and poetry, including “Dreamskip,” the winner of an honorable mention from the Writers of the Future Contest in 2018.

Illustrated with ethereal pencil sketches by artist Julia Busko, these tales dance on the delicate rift between life and death, waking and dreams.

This collection of short stories and poetry is a scintillating multi-faceted glimpse of many of the themes that moved us as a system prior to being aware of our DID. Some dark and heavy themes (TW for suicide) but shot through with hope.

Your story
May start in darkness,
But there is never a page,
Never a line
Not penned in mercy

Written from faith and the personal war zones of loss and mental illness, these poems follow a journey of healing: hopes, dreams, agonies, and triumphs, all rising from the battlefield to glory.

Mainlined by Orrie but contributed to by many of us, this psalm-like poetry collection walks step by step through our journey of discovering the DID and grappling with our mental health: a journey of plunging into the darkness and rising back toward the light.
