Two short stories about a sea nymph with a bad attitude, a potty mouth, and the power of destruction.
Immortal Woes
Nothing like having a suicidal not-so-giant giant as a best friend. Unless you also have a couple of drunken fairy pests tormenting him about his small stature. Grinka's the lucky sea nymph who has both. Between comforting her friend and stopping the lewd fairies from taunting him with a suicide powder, her temper gets the best of her. And when it does, things explode.
"Immortal Woes" received an Honorable Mention in Quarter 3 of the 2015 Writers of the Future Contest.
Ode to Buses and Libraries
Grinka has a maddening itch on the back of her neck. And the only place she can find any answers about her skin condition is at the library in the Immortal World. Of course getting to the library isn't easy, especially when riding the Immortal Express bus line. Between a lackadaisical centaur and the drunken fairy twins, it's a wonder Grinka hasn't exploded them all. Oh wait, she has.
Alexa Grave loves to tell stories -- it just so happens her characters occasionally take her on an unexpected ride. Most of what she writes is dark fantasy, but she also likes to weave humor and romance into her fantasy as well.
A sea nymph with a potty mouth and a penchant for exploding light bulbs. A human-sized giant on par with Eeyore for mood. And two lewd and lascivious fairies.
How can it all go wrong?
Well, Grinka will tell you how the giant and two fairies enjoy making her life unbearable. It's hard for a bunch of immortals living in the real world. Really. OK, maybe only for poor Grinka.
