I am an American writer living in Japan. I publish short stories on Substack at billadler.substack.com.
Svetlana and Carlos, two of the world's greatest mountain climbers, hoped to discover the answer to a great mystery at the top of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third tallest mountain in the world. But what they found was beyond anything they imagined.
Enjoy my short story, "The Mountain Climbers."

Tongues While I publish most of my stories in my weekly newsletter, now and then I like to post a short work in Notes. Enjoy this one-sentence horror story, Tongues, a tale for the spooky season. The collection of sixty-three human tongues stapled to the walls in Janet’s apartment was entirely understandable once you learned that she was a horror writer who regularly pounded her desk more than her keyboard while screeching, “What’s that word? It’s on the tip of my tongue.”

Raywat DeonandanYou've probably heard of this atrocious BBC article that fallaciously claims that COVID is less lethal than the flu. (This old canard). I won't link to it, but here are a couple of studies you might find useful.
French study: patients with COVID-19 were 69% more likely to die during their hospital stay than were flu patients.

USVA study: Compared with hospitalization for influenza, hospitalization for COVID-19 was associated with a 61% higher risk of death
Conclusion: both COVID and the flu suck. Don't use one to minimize the other.
