Some stories are sci-fi, some are fantasy, and some are even based on mythology. The important thing is that these are all inspired by the daily sketches made by philtomato and bloodsplach. One sketch per day, one story per day.

The result is the collection you’re reading right now. It’s black and white, it’s raw, it leaves ink stains on your fingers.

What is Inktober?
What is Inktober? Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day for the entire month. They get a list of words as prompts for each day, they sketch a piece on paper with ink, then upload it online under the #inktober tag. It’s like the writers’ NaNoWriMo, but with far less tears involved. There are variants on the prompt list. This is the one we used: Poisonous Tranquil Roasted Spell Chicken Drooling Exhausted Star Precious Flowing Cruel Whale Guarded Clock Weak Angular Swollen Bottle Scorched Breakable Drain Expensive Muddy Chop Prickly Stretch Thunder Gift Double Jolt Slice The official rules read as follows: Make a drawing in ink Post it online Hashtag it with #inktober and #inktober2018 Repeat every day of October And I, being unable to draw anything but able to make a story, got inspired by each sketch and prompt and wrote one each day. Granted, not all of them made the cut. I’ve kept the best ones in this collection instead of just putting up 31 of them. And writing a story is not like a sketch of a single frame, you need to both have an idea and a plot. Without the plot, even the most amazing idea goes nowhere. Some days I struggled to find a plot, some days it just flowed with no effort. The result is the collection you’re reading right now. It’s black and white, it’s raw, it leaves ink stains on your fingers. Yes, even if you’re reading the ebook version. George Saoulidis
