Cara: An Others Short Story

by Nic Silver

Cara is the daughter of a witch, but so far she's never shown any witch abilities herself, except maybe a peculiar affinity for beetles. "By the time I'm thirty," she always told herself. Now she is thirty.


Walking to the bus from work one day, she has her first encounter with another "other," but it's not another witch, it's something much worse. If she'd been a proper witch, she would have known what he was before it was too late.

About the author

Nicole Silver lives like a hermit on the edge of the woods, but haunts used bookstores like a wraith. She fully expected to be found someday as a mummified, old corpse crushed under a toppled to-be-read pile, but the rise of e-books has made that somewhat less likely, though the books will always outnumber even the dustbunnies. Nic will read just about anything, including the instructions on the back of medicine bottles, but has a particular fondness for good stories with a hint of magic. She writes dark, sexy urban fantasy, and sometimes dreams in black and white.
