Micro-Episodes: A New Way to Experience Dark Tales

For the next nineteen days, I’ll be sharing something different here—a daily dose of SEETHINGS 2, stripped down and repackaged into micro-episodes. Each post offers a brief glimpse into the story’s progression, carefully condensed and edited.

But here’s the catch: AI helped shrink it… and, well, it got shy.

Anything violent, suggestive, or remotely non-consensual was politely scrubbed away (policy limits – ick!). Gone is the grit. The fire. The dangerous edge. What’s left is a fluffy, rainbow-tinted version of my darkest novel—something that reads more like a suspenseful Disney fairytale than the psychological thriller I originally wrote.

Still, the essence remains. The characters breathe, the tension simmers, and the arc holds, just with its teeth removed. It’s a curious experiment in creating soft, gummy narratives.

If you’d like the full, uncensored experience—the story as it was meant to be—head to https://www.smashwords.com/books/1054240 and grab the complete version.

See you tomorrow for episode one. -M
