The writings of John N. Crain


"A warm mist descended over the crèche and K raised its head above the polished stone rim. Not much to see, but the moisture made odors stronger. K opened an olfactory port, analyzing the heady mix of scents, some sweet, some bitter, some so strong they could be tasted. Woven through the tapestry of redolence, K detected something new, a thread of effluvium never encountered. K’s primary pseudopod flowed over the side of the nest, following the strange aroma, seeking the source."


From the short story Persistence of Memories.

Posted some new stuff on Medium recently:

https://medium.com/@jncrain/space-time-and-things-between-a878abf7cba7

https://medium.com/@jncrain/tears-on-sand-c192504cadd0

Both pieces are excerpts from my book, Ysobel (still in progress), but I think they can stand by themselves as short stories.

Also submitted a flash fiction piece, The Bureaucrat, to a few places. The rejections are starting to pour in. It's currently still out at Factor Four Magazine. If it doesn't get accepted pretty quick, maybe I'll put it up on Medium.
