The author was always fascinated by what could be contained in a brief moment. This oppressive horror is part of a suite of short science fiction, urban fantasy and horror stories by BP Gregory, each its own little maelstrom of human suffering and longing.

Submerged can be enjoyed alone or as part of Orotund: Collected Short Stories Volume Two, which is also available in print.

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a great short story about a man dealing with grief, as he tries to make his live worth something. This story reopened a scab I'd rather leave closed, well done B.P
