Hi folks! For my first Free Fiction Friday, I have a short story from W.C. Dunlap, published in the last issue of Fireside Fiction. “Grits, Goblins and Good Times” is a weird little urban fantasy story that starts homey and ends with, well, cannibalism. It’s surprisingly violent but very fun to read.

On a typical day, the hungry will enter the old kitchen with a need that cannot be sated by mere physical sustenance, their souls growling like empty bellies churning with acids that have set upon the flesh. The old Cook can hear these growls even before she sees the person, the bubbles and groans speaking to her in a language requiring a higher cognition to comprehend.
