When a Creature of the Void fails to find friendship among her own kind, she instead sets her sights upon another, human-filled world. Unfortunately, humans turn out to be rather small and squishy things, resulting in a mostly accidental trail of death, destruction and madness as she embarks on her journey to finally make some friends.
This is a 25k word inane short story, and makes no attempt at being serious or realistic. It's my first attempt at trying a more comedic writing style. No relation to my other stories, aside from a brief cameo.
Cover bodged together with Charat Genesis. Not quite the design I had in mind, but reasonably close. Doesn't contain explicit smut, but does contain references to stuff happening off-screen. May contain traces of gore. Also eels, in varying states of distress.

It is a cute 'girls love' short story... It is well written and fun to read... There really isn't much else to say.
You should read it, it is short and an incredible ride well worth your time
To the author... I guess I could mention things like the world building is funny, but simple. I know the MCs are kinda insane and whatnot, but the whiplash of the numbers of dead not being blinked about... Including friends and family is a bit weird. Sometimes it seemed women in general, and especially those 2 women were the only important/smart people in that world... (Like no one in that world can make an anti golem ward?)
But I feel like I am just trying to find something to complain about in a nearly flawless short story and I am glad I read it.

What an absolutely delightful story! I was grinning almost the entire time I was reading it. I loved the portrayal of the voidling and I loved the almost casual affair of the whole thing. It was a very relaxed read that had me laughing on more than eight or nine occasions.
My only real gripe is the fact that perspectives oven shift, paragraph to paragraph. It can make it difficult to know whose perspective we are seeing things from.
Other than that, it was short, but I don't think so much as to be a disservice, and it was well worth the read. I'll likely be rereading this in the future

A great way to spend an afternoon and a great example of why short form stories have a natural advantage.
The author seems to have a knack for saying what should be said and leaving unsaid what shouldn't. The story flows quick and lets the imagination carry the reader almost as much as the words. Speaking of the words, the sense of humor here doesn't leave one wanting. Wording and sentence structure work well towards immersion and keeping the reader going with some stops when the reader pauses to just, again, imagine.
