Blood will Flow

Many moons ago the little writing community on here called 12mowrimo decided to have a go at some original fiction. We produced this anthology of short stories, called Dust. I've got a story in there, and there are some other authors I'm sure you'll recognise.

I missed the launch due to personal circumstances and then forgot all about it. But if you are like sci-fi and fantasy you'll enjoy reading these. As the blurb says: An anthology of science fiction and fantasy—of fairies and angels and ill sisters and sentient dust, worlds of water-breathers and sky people, of prisoners and genetically altered outliers, and a colony on the moon. These tales explore themes of love and hate, loss and recovery, life and death, and good and evil. Seven authors, seven unique takes on the human condition.

I'll put my own story here for convenience.

Warnings: Contains both Het and M/M relationships but no actual sex happens.
Summary: A fairy story or a love story, call it what you will. This is the tale of two siblings and a stranger who found that love at first sight isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Summary:none

Elsa wasn’t stupid, but when the first flakes began to fall, she wished she was.  She wished that she didn’t know what this was, that she could believe, for one brief moment, that the first snowfall of the year had come early.

But Elsa wasn’t afforded the luxury of ignorance.  She’d walked past the barbed wire fence too often, saw the ovens being built, overheard guards talking about cleansing.

She couldn’t deceive herself into thinking those pale flakes were anything other than what they were.

Tiny fragile fragments of lives lost, loves brutally ended, children that would never be born.
