Welcome back to Story Time. Today, I am sharing a dark comedy memoir piece by Shunya Meher. It’s about the absolute bewilderment of surviving and unexpectedly rebuilding life in your mid-40s after a spectacular crash. Life is being life. Dogs are being dogs. And living is what comes after surviving. The raw, slightly hilarious reality of what happens when you finally stop crying; suit up and show up to the boardroom of your own life.
The writer, Shunya, is a professional survivor, dog lover, and the undisputed CEO of her own life. A veteran of intensive therapy and recovery, she recently pulled off the emotional & logistical miracle of leaving an abusive marriage, moving cities, getting into recovery and is now writing plus looking for a job. (Well, a woman has to pay her bills!!) She currently runs a busy three-dog household, manages a small staff to keep the ship afloat, and refuses to apologise for delegating the grunt work.

Episode 30: Short Winter of a Witch’s Work By Domenyk Stier | A Halloween Special
Welcome to the Halloween special episode! Today, I am sharing a short horror story. It’s a historical fiction story written by Domenyk Stier. Domenyk is an eccentric, emerging short story author. Born and raised in the rural Midwest of the United States, he brings a subtle down-to-earth vibe to his writing, focusing heavily on honest character reactions and emotional stakes. Now a reformed scaredy-cat, Domenyk fell in love with Horror, Cosmic Horror, and Weird Fiction. You can usually find him with his face in a journal, reading about magic and spirituality, or playing Overwatch with his girlfriend.
Hope you enjoy it! Happy Halloween!
