More monsters, more friends

Remember how I said that I was writing a series of stories about monsters and friendship for my friend John Wiswell? And another of them was coming out soon? Today is soon. After the Monster is up at Daily Science Fiction.

This is a harder one, friends. They gave me the chance to make author story comments (expand in a little link under the story!), so I did that, a little more of where this story is coming from. If you're struggling and you think I might have written this story for you--yeah, I probably did.

Hug your friends (virtually if you gotta), tip the pizza girl. And hang in there.
