What happened in Brechan Woods?
Every autumn, I make my way through Brechan Woods. It’s a huge place, and for those three or four months each year, it becomes my second home. I know it as well as my own garden, but don’t be fooled—familiarity doesn’t mean it isn’t filled with incredible surprises. There’s an abundance of wildlife to enjoy there: I’ve seen deer, foxes, squirrels, and countless birds. If fauna were my thing, I’d be satisfied by its variety—but I’m not a fauna enthusiast. I am a mycophile: a fungus lover.

The Metamorphosis of Bird
Bird first noticed it in the mirror on Tuesday morning—a small dark spot on her left palm, like a beauty mark she'd never had before. She picked at it with her fingernail, but it wouldn't budge. It felt hard beneath her skin, like a seed waiting to sprout.

The Slasher Problem
Imagine you're reading a story about someone who's trapped in a room with a hungry tiger. As a normal, comparatively weak human being they have no hope of besting the tiger in a fight. However, in the far corner of the room is a high-caliber hunting rifle: the perfect defense against a dangerous predator, if they could only get to it. Through trickery and careful maneuvering, the protagonist finally manages to secure the rifle. They turn it on the tiger, aim, fire, and the shot hits the animal directly between the eyes. The tiger immediately falls to the ground. It's a wound deadly enough to kill anything, after all.
