Story Description: "Far From Over" is a dark fantasy story set in a whimsical yet divided world where orcs and unicorns live as uneasy neighbors after a centuries-old war. When young orc Timmy befriends Brighteyes, a new unicorn student at school, his father Maleck reacts with unexpected fury and forbids the friendship. Maleck reveals a hidden past from the Orc-Unicorn War and confesses a long-held family secret about the unicorn horn mounted above their fireplace-a trophy whose true origin is far darker than the bedtime story Timmy has always been told. As Maleck explains how ancient grudges and magical artifacts have shaped their lives, the story explores whether childhood innocence can bridge the gap between species, or whether the wounds of the past run too deep. The tale examines themes of inherited trauma, prejudice, and the question of whether peace is truly possible when both sides remember-and can't forget-the violence that came before. With its blend of candy-coated fantasy settings and grim moral complexity, the story asks: when is a war really over?
David J. Avila writes bizarre and emotionally exhausting short stories and novelettes that defy easy categorization. His work exists in the uncomfortable spaces between absurdist fiction, dark fantasy, and psychological horror-the kind of stories that didn't have a place in the grade school classrooms where he first fell in love with writing. Avila's fiction takes familiar frameworks-fairy tales, magical realism, everyday objects and twists them until they reveal something raw and unsettling about violence, belief, and human desperation. His characters navigate worlds where toasters perform miracles, unicorns seek revenge, and the line between the mundane and the impossible dissolves completely. With five short stories currently available, Avila continues to explore the darker corners of imagination from his home in California's San Joaquin Valley, crafting tales that linger long after the final page.
