Crossing the line. In life, we draw many lines—between good and evil, guilt and innocence, real and unreal, life and death. And having drawn these lines, we cross them because humanity is curious, careless, devious, and, sometimes, downright wicked. So what happens if you cross the line? Does it change you and what is waiting on the other side? In Ink Stains, Volume 6, ten authors explore what it means to cross the line and the price we pay to do it. This is a collection of short stories that range from fantasy through science fiction to horror and from the fantastical to the grit of day to day life. Join writers Monica Carter, George Kelly, Alison Garsha, Ken Goldman, Elana Gomel, Christopher Locke, Morrison, Thomas Olbert, Evan Purcell, and Nicole Tanquary as they step over the line to find what waits on the other side.

The world is a beautiful and terrifying place, where the lands have secrets of their own. There’s a rustle in the trees in the French countryside. Is it the wind? Or the soldiers who should have died just once? The fields of India encircle the shaman as he performs rituals that can take away a life or bring it back. The woods next to a lake in New England hide a camp full of archetypes and a psycho who may or may not wear a mask. There’s something about a place in time folded into a tale that becomes a character of its own, something that tantalizes and mesmerizes. From the twisting, gravel roads of New Zealand to the dusty, hard-lived ranches of the American West, we travel the world to find the disturbed, the mysterious, and the heart-wrenching. Authors Luke Bandy, Nick Barton, S. B. Roark, Michael D. Burnside, Gwyneth Cooper, Dana Himrich, Brooke Reynolds and introduce us to their worlds and invite us in to see it as they do.

Decay. The word inspires images of mold-encrusted carpets in abandoned hotels, forgotten toys in the rain, and rusting roller coasters. Those of us who call ourselves urban explorers are obsessed with it, perhaps because of its profound sense of sadness; if we are still and listen, we can hear the whispers of a brighter past. This pervasive ghost doesn’t only haunt the physical world; it invades our bodies, minds, relationships, and societies. It is inevitable; we are helpless to stop it. In these stories, one man is suddenly stalked by the same hooded figure that pursued his terminally ill father, while another stalks the world’s evil at great cost to himself. A woman who’s recently picked up smoking undergoes a monstrous transformation, another reels when she sees her boyfriend for what he truly is, and North Pole elves experience heartbreak for the first time. There are more; fifteen tales in all. These are the things we lose; we die a little each day. Some of us just more quickly than others.

Death. Murder. Betrayal. An inevitable undoing. The selfish and terrible actions of humans rarely go unpunished in a world where Fate is a cruel mistress and Karma can be more vengeful than a woman scorned. Hell is real, and it exists here on Earth as several characters in the stories contained within can attest as they face war, jealousy, domestic violence, and supernatural forces. Some face Hell on a literal level as others discover it is one of their own making. None were prepared for the reality of their consequences. Authors Michael Barron, Eric M. Battaglia, Eddie Cantrell, Michael R. Collins, Patrick Hackeling, Matthew Lett, J.A.W. McCarthy, Karen Metcalf, Ben Nein, Liam Quinn, RL Schumacher, Caleb Stephens, C.J. Thomson, Jackie Valacich, and J.S. Watts weave together dark tales that question how far one is willing to push to get what they desire and explore the consequences of those more interested in themselves than their fellow men and women.

"Deadlock: Pilgrimage Vol. 6" by Dorothy M. Richardson is the penultimate installment in her groundbreaking modernist novel collection, "Pilgrimage." This painting continues the introspective adventure of its protagonist, Miriam Henderson, thru the complexities of her existence and the evolving global round her. As Miriam grapples with the societal changes of the early 20th century, Richardson employs her different move-of-attention style to in detail explore the individual's mind and emotions. "Deadlock" affords a nuanced portrayal of Miriam's relationships, aspirations, and inner conflicts, delving into the demanding situations confronted by means of a girl navigating the moving landscapes of feminism, identity, and societal expectations.

Richardson's narrative prowess shines as she weaves collectively difficult layers of notion and experience, presenting readers with a bright and immersive literary revel in. As a pivotal quantity within the "Pilgrimage" collection, "Deadlock" contributes to Richardson's legacy as a pioneering modernist author, providing a profound exploration of the human psyche and the changing dynamics of a swiftly evolving global.
