M.A. Dorsey

Deceived and lied too, these children are forced to live in potholes they call home.

 

Surrounded by a forest of fire, the children are forced to live in a pothole they call home. They are cursed and plagued with various diseases, constantly being tormented by a demon who deceives them into false methods of healing. But when a mysterious figure offers them freedom, many are tricked into believing he is the demon..

Started reading these, suits my psyche.

Your long pitch repeats your short pitch - try and expand both and I think you'll appeal to a wider audience

The Crooked Souls: a few comments. I noticed one name in all these stories, and apart from Orgath, your stories are peopled by abstractions (the Voice of Guidance), unnamed children and creatures with names like the Soul Catcher. I didn't have a real sense of the world itself (is it the same world?) but the potholes is an interesting idea.
I just wonder if you could give us a main character we can identify with (give him/her a name). I think you have good ideas, ones that can potentially connect with the reader.

This is a collection of short stories i have been working on over the years. Please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy it! There are five in total, and if I get enough interest I will post the last two! Thanks!
