A Twisted World

By B.C. Brown

A TWISTED WORLD opens with “Hunting,” A flash fiction piece following two hunters, Denna and Seb, who were hired to kill a wolf that had been culling a farmer’s cattle herd. It turns out there is something far stranger happening than a hungry wolf preying on the cows.
In “The Junkie’s Reward” we are brought to an urban setting, and we learn the dismal misery of Kethra Mornside, as she hears the truth about what happened to her daughter.
The setting becomes less familiar in “Gnarl” as we read about a traveler in barren wastelands outside a walled city. He hitches a ride on a train into the city but, unbeknownst to the passengers, their lives and those in the city are in grave danger.
The collection ends with the short story “Vox” which centers on a detective in a futuristic society with hyper-advanced technology. His world is dying, and it is his job to discover what lengths some will go to, to try and halt the extinction of their entire race.

Hunting

Denna? say something. Do you even see it? asked Seb, his voice a hoarse whisper. Shut up, Denna said. She shifted her prone position and tilted her head to get a better cheek-weld on the butt of her rifle. Each movement, no matter how miniscule, caused the tall sagebrush around her to rustle. She closed her eyes and inhaled the pre-dawn air, letting it out in a cloud of condensation.

I see it, she said. It’s too far away to make out any detail, but it’s getting closer. She leaned back in, lining her eye up with her rifle’s scope once again. Searching the hillside in the gray light strained her eyes. As Denna sought
