Synopsis

The Reedsy.com weekly challenge is simple: write a 1,000-3,000 word story within a week based on one of thier five prompts. What can you create in that timeframe?

In The Reeds is Tim Maddox's many answers to that challenge. Written during the height of the COVID era as a means of escape, the stories within take many forms. Fantasy, science fiction, espionage, slice-of-life, and even an odd western make thier way onto the pages alongside more literary works, making this eclectic collection sure to have something for everyone. You'll meet mages forced to confront an old friend and ally, a disgraced warrior determined to return from exile to save his homeland, a wingsuit pilot desperately chasing after a nuclear missile, and a man who is simply captivated by memories of his first visit to an old tavern in a modernizing city.

Not only does In The Reeds contain the eleven stories which met the goal of completion within a week, but three more have been included from the unfinished tales specifically for this collection. Wormholes, mystic travels, and medieval ambushes stand ready to draw you into unexpected worlds.

All these and more are waiting for you, so open the pages and find out what awaits in the reeds!
