Words Hung Overnight

Rene Grandon

Submitted to Contest #334

The shoemaker’s workshop went quiet the way small places do, all at once. The night’s work lay finished on the table. Shoes stood paired and straight, soles pressed smooth, stitching drawn tight enough to last through weather and years. The shoemaker would find them so in the morning and would not ask how they had come to be that way. He never did. Instead, he left food where it could be found and cider poured shallow, trusting what had earned his trust over time.

The Monday after Valentine’s Day, February 18, I went to tryouts for the UIL one-act play, The Importance of Being Earnest. Two of my best friends convinced me to leave my comfort zone. We’d always embraced our ...

Dreamweaver's Nightmare

Rene Grandon

Submitted to Contest #269

Dreamweaver's Nightmare  The morning sun filtered through the windows of Dreamspire, casting long beams across the polished stone floors. The high, rounded towers of the grand castle stretched toward the sky, their walls lined with books, tomes, and cascading streams of magic sand, each one flowing in different colors, symbolizing the dream and memory magic coursing through the realm. Sandman stood in the grand hall, his thoughts still tangled from the previous night. Something had felt off, though he couldn’t place it. He stirred his c...

Author bio

Renè Grandon is a fantasy author and immersive world-builder whose stories unfold within the Mythix universe—a myth-woven realm where time listens, magic remembers, and destiny leaves echoes. Her work blends lyrical fantasy with mythic symbolism, exploring themes of legacy, belief, belonging, and the quiet moments where wonder reshapes fate.

Her Reedsy library features standalone tales, companion stories, and select chapters connected to the Mythix world. Each piece is crafted to be enjoyed on its own while offering glimpses into a larger, interconnected tapestry of realms, guardians, and timeless narrators. Readers may encounter stories guided by ancient forces, whispered through memory, or framed as fragments preserved within time itself.

Renè’s storytelling often bridges the magical and the familiar, inviting readers to step gently beyond the veil and linger where myth and heart intertwine.

Readers who wish to explore the complete Mythix stories and ongoing serialized works can find them on Inkspired, where the universe continues to grow.
