About this listen
Short Story Press presents "Off His Leash", by Brandon Dowless.
Randall cannot remember a day in the last 10 years he has not spent beside his canine friend, Eduardo the Magnificento, or Ed. Ever since Rand found the pup nestled against a hot-water pipe, the two have been inseparable, spending countless hours together wandering through the woods on adventures, some make-believe and some real. But now, Ed's gone missing, and Rand takes it upon himself to seek out his four-legged friend. Unfortunately, the hunter loses his friend's tracks among those of a much more sinister type: ogres.
Rand assumes the worst and gets himself into a very difficult situation involving ogres, clubs, and...“tush paper”? Will Rand rescue or even find his friend? Or will he be the main entree for an ogre village that's already whetted its appetite with canine?
The resulting story is one of friendship and resolve, irony and heroism, and mud. It might not make you laugh, but you'll smirk a few times as the lives of Eduardo the Magnificento, Randall, and a group of unsuspecting ogres become intertwined.
And there's a twist at the end you'll never see coming! Or you might. Just act like you didn't, it'll be a lot more fun.

The Trateri are about to learn a vital lesson of the Broken Lands. Deep in the remote expanse where anything can happen, it pays to be on a pathfinder's good side. Nobody ventures beyond their village. Nobody sane, that is. Monstrous creatures and deadly mysteries wait out here. Luckily for the people she serves, Shea's not exactly sane. As a pathfinder, it's her job to face what others fear and find the safest route through the wilderness. It's not an easy job, but she's the best at what she does.

For Meredith Gale, ending her life seems like her only choice, and that choice is the reason she’s dangling by her fingertips from a bridge high above the freezing water of the San Francisco Bay. But someone or some thing has other plans for Meredith, and as her fingers slip from the cold steel of the bridge, a disembodied voice asks her a simple question: “Candidate 13: Do you wish to be saved?” Realizing her mistake too late, Meredith screams “Yes!” and instantly finds herself transported to a mysterious island, alongside hundreds of other Candidates like her.

As Wulfric pursues Adalhaid's Blood Debt, he soon learns that the path to revenge is never easy. The Blood Debt: A blade fit for a hero. An army for a tyrant.
