Firegrass

[TheZot]

Not necessarily the usual fare here, but yesterday I put up Firegrass, a fairly traditional (well, sorta) Sword & Sorcery story. This piece has a number of things that are new for me -- it's third person, relatively short (only about 16K words), plot rather than character driven, and I was working on setting and action description. No boinking, alas, but you can't have everything.

 

If you're a fan of the genre, I'd much appreciate a read-through and commentary. This is the first in a series of stories of varying lengths featuring these two characters pretty much in the same style (and certainly in the same setting) so feedback on both the good and bad bits would be greatly appreciated -- it's one of the things that helps us authors get better.
