Imaginary Friends: A Short Story

A Short Story from the Author of the Fate of the Gods trilogy and the Orc Saga.

After her mother's death, a lonely little girl imagines herself a friend named Donar to chase away her fears at night. There's nothing strange about that, exactly. He tucks her in at night when her father is working late, and tells her stories about golden boars and magic cloaks made of feathers that allow a person to fly. When Donar is with her, she knows she'll always be safe.

Then she grows up.

And somehow, her supposedly *imaginary* friend never went away.
