Which one is humanity, in ‘Velvet Glove?’ The conqueror, the abbot, or the deathworlder? I dunno. You tell me.

Patreon Microfiction: From The Saga Of Brad Just Brad.
I read somewhere ‘Hwaet!’ was basically the Old (Middle?) English equivalent of ‘Yo!’ or ‘Dude!’ I thus saw no reason why not to incorporate that into ‘From The Saga Of Brad Just Brad.’ It fits the aesthetic.

My PATREON! PATREON! So good, they named it “PATREON!”

It’s a rarified villainy, to be sure — but after a while, one’s evil palate grows more sophisticated.
My short-short “Crunch Time” now up on Patreon.
“Crunch Time” lost a flash fiction contest, alas. Still, I think it should have won, so I put it up on Patreon. Free to read, so click the link!
