Welcome to a special series from The Arcanist Team. Over the next twelve days, we'll be featuring flash fiction from Christopher Stanley's collection The Lamppost Huggers and Other Wretched Tales. Welcome to The Twelve Days of Horror.

On the twelfth day of horror, we're learning what it means to never let go, trying our hand at a new career, and anxious to spend the holidays with those we love.
