Depths of Peril - Story & Screens @ Official Site

A new story titled Double Edge has been posted at the Depths of Peril site in two parts (Part 1 and Part 2).  Word from Soldak's Steven Peeler is this story won first place at last year's FenCon writing conference in Dallas:

Jarvis Bauern walked the dirt rut from his small barn to his house, where he glimpsed his young daughter running in with a handful of flowers. His mind, though, was on the dark sky overhead, wondering if the storm clouds still gathered. If the rain would hold back one more day, he’d have the plowing done on time. If this year’s harvest was good, and he and his neighbor pooled their money, then they could buy a work ox in Talhof, the village to the west. He’d be able to plow twice as much land, hire a hand, and invest in some cows.

There are also two new screens showing the same scene after a battle with bloom switched on and off.  Thanks, Steven!
