Today is International Short Story Day – the first International Short Story Day – appropriately timed, as tonight is going to be shortest night of the year. Last December, the UK held an exclusive national short story day, marking the brevity in daylight hours. But this time around the gates are open, and everyone can get in on some action.
In honor of ISSD, Broken Pencil is offering up two stories for your reading pleasure. First, we dig into the archives for a ditty by our spring Issue cover girl, Emma Healey. Check out her story Last Winter Here, a semi-finalist in our first ever Deathmatch.
The second is a new online exclusive. For a celebration themed after night time hours, we give you a night time story. It’s based around the kink scene in Red Deer Alberta, and how people truly come out when the sun is down.

Once she got high she’d moan and that was my cue. I’d strip down naked and get on my knees. Trish would tie me up and walk around the room with her heels clicking on the hardwood floor. Then she’d examine my cock like it was a laboratory specimen, pull out the rope from her cedar chest and prepare the noose with painful precision. She was into detail. Either I’d end up by blowing her while she was choking me or else she’d toss the other end of the rope over a ceiling beam and string me until we both shot off. Either-or, it was lights and sirens all the way…
