Hey, I’m Bryce.
You might know me. You might not. I’m a writer! Typically I make comics with an artist named Scott Malin. Together we founded Studio Baba and launched the webcomic “The Panty Bear” and crowd-funded, ongoing series “Kindred Heavens.” Oh, we also created a hit Twitter OC, “Lucia.” Neat.
But here, this is my domain. That’s right—I’m flying solo! This website will serve as a gathering ground for my short stories, random thoughts, and eventually, I hope, a novel or two.
SHORT STORIES
Aqille’s voice carries within it a magic so powerful she cannot utter a single word without changing the world around her. Even a cough could rile the winds up into a frenzy which sundered the land, and she should know—such things have happened before. But, when an ancient evil finds its way to her island, threatening the life of the man she has always loved from afar, she is faced with a terrible choice: speak up and save him, risking everything, or stay silent and watch as he perishes.
In 1973, “Eleanor’s Corner” was the most read newspaper column in the United States. Written by journalist Eleanor Robertson, its mission was simple—to expose the lives of the Hollywood stars. And it did. Countless celebrity’s careers crumbled under the scandals she brought to light. To many, Eleanor Robertson was untouchable. And she was. Until the Trouble in Berea.
This is a day in the life of Mr. Flitter, a weaver whose duty is to help the living move of from the deaths of those they love. He does so by creating a mural, a tapestry, dedicated to them, imbued with the deceased’s thoughts, feelings, memories, soul.
Eli was born into a world with no sun. There was one, once, but it has disappeared, leaving behind only darkness and ash. Ash from everything that has been burnt—the books, the clothes, the furniture. All of it set aflame just to create even a little light. Most people have given up, focusing on surviving, nothing more. Some have become cultic, worshipping the moon in a dangerous way. But Eli? Eli helps to deliver batteries.
