A mural painted by an anonymous artist inspires both dread and wonder.
Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction
Excerpt:
On the wall of a poorly kept apartment building was painted a
vast mural of a forest in the midst of winter, the trees laden with
snow, the ground, likewise. The sky a crisp and sharp blue. The
mural had appeared overnight at the start of winter. And it had
greeted me every morning since then. The first time I’d walked past
it, I had stopped to gaze at it, and appreciate it. It was one of
the few lovely sights I saw on my far-too-early mornings before I
arrived at work.
But on that day, something new happened.
As we all stood and gazed at the mural, it…changed.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. At center, a woman seen from mid-calf up, standing and facing forward. She has eleven arms, all bare, ten emerging from her sides symmetrically, the eleventh bent across her waist from her right side. A different object or energy is held by or hovers over each hand. From top right clockwise, a five-petaled flower, a glowing orb, a drop of blood, a stylus or gouge, a lightning bolt, a wheel, a pen, a scroll, a rainbow flame, a pendant of a colorful eye. Above the hand of the eleventh arm floats a feather. The woman has long hair and wears a dress with an ornate collar and short sleeves. A watermark of the word “Storyfeather” appears over the image.
