Five Silver Rings

This new short is available through the author's newsletter, so get to it! 
Zack yet again proves his ability to write emotion. Just gut-punching, heartbreaking loss. You will feel everything this main character does, in such few pages. I'm again so impressed with the author's ability to pack such a punch. 
This fantasy/horror short story is about love, sacrifice, and loss. This feels like such an interesting and impressive world, with next to no world building in it. I would read a million short stories by him.
