I would like to submit my short story: Mycelial

https://realphillipcarter.substack.com/p/mycelial-aprils-free-short-story

An existentialist fungus muses on identity, community, plurality, and what it might mean to become an individual in a world where 'the One' is the ruling personality.

It is 2402 words long.

Thanks for creating the Lunar Awards!

Okay I think I'm in time! Here's my story, entitled "Down the Drain" about a man who enjoys competition a little too much. According to Google it's 1806 words long.

Yeah, I read all of the other stories to date when I added mine, and our showing of urban fantasy was a bit light! Glad to mix it up a bit.

I'm pretty sure it counts as speculative fiction. Either way, super excited to be part of the Lunar Awards: Season One!

Thanks!

Heya, here is my submission!

https://mlaugustin.substack.com/p/41-how-to-win-over-the-chittering

To my mind, this story is dark fantasy rather than horror, but let me know if it doesn't fit. No worries if not!
