This will be an on-going piece of short stories with each chapter being a story unto itself, none more than about 5000 words. That way I won't be taking up so much space. While it says In Progress, each chapter will only be posted when complete

Every author writes a Curry and Heyes prison story. This is mine.

Decided To start compiling these author chats. So this will always be "in progress."

Using this space to post all my challenge stories in one place. It will always be in-progress so I can add to it each month. As such it will never be complete

Minor characters in each episode may only have one or two scenes in the episode and may not always know how an episode ends.
