The adventures into the world of Uphoria continue with "Hollow", a look at the rarely-seen social backbone of their world: the faeries. Pollen and Fern, charged with collecting the tokens of the new arrivals in Uphoria, find a horrifying obstacle to their simple task when they are pursued by the land's darkest creatures. Sample: He shushed her with a gesture, and kept looking out into the woods. He was sure he’d seen…something out there. It could be anything; a bird, a raccoon, any of a thousand natural (and a few unnatural ones to boot) predators to the faeries which could swallow them both up in a single bite. It wasn’t that faeries were delicious – in fact, by all accounts they tasted something like a rat that had died three months earlier after choking on a urinal cake with a skunk juice chaser – but it was the Dust which made them desired above all of Uphoria’s creatures. It flowed through their skin like clouds through an autumn sky. Dust was…everything. And the people who learned how to find it would do everything to get more. There was a saying in Uphoria: “A wish costs naught but a single happy thought,” but it was the Dust which made those wishes come true. Some believed that if you had enough wishes, one of those wishes could take you home. But the faeries didn’t believe in such nonsense. Especially not when there were so many Much More Interesting Things to believe in. "Hollow" is a dark fantasy story of approximately 4000 words.
