“No one will suspect a young girl like you of being a resistance fighter,” Erica said the day she had arrived to recruit Frankie. “You’ll be able to make a real difference.”

Frankie’s mother had reluctantly agreed."What is required of you won't be easy," warned Erica. "You'll hate yourself if you do it."***This is the first standalone story in the dystopian short story series "The Chronicles of Akeratu".No matter how bleak and violent the future looks, humanity still has a way of shining through.***

'Good Riddance' is part of the 'Sticky Fingers 2' short story collection: diverse, dark-humoured, and deliciously bite-sized. Fans of Roald Dahl and Shirley Jackson will love these unsettling stories with a twist in the tale.

Ever find yourself craving a story that's just the right length to fill a quiet moment, but with a twist that lingers long after it's over? That's the space where Stay Up All Night lives. Created by USA Today bestselling author and Kindle Unlimited All-Star JT Lawrence, this podcast delivers exactly what its title promises: a series of short fiction pieces designed to captivate and unsettle in equal measure. Each episode is a self-contained world, diverse in its characters and settings, yet unified by a distinctively dark-humored edge. Lawrence has a knack for weaving tales that feel both deliciously bite-sized and remarkably substantial, often leaving you with an image or an idea that refuses to fade. You might hear a story set in a mundane office that takes a surreal turn, or a domestic scene unraveled by a single, peculiar detail. The narration brings these carefully crafted words to life, emphasizing the tension and the subtle wit in every line. It’s the kind of collection perfect for a late-night drive, a walk through the city, or those moments when you just need a brief, brilliant escape from the ordinary. Tuning into this podcast means surrendering to the compelling and often unexpected-a reminder that the most powerful stories don't need hours to make their mark.
