  <title>&amp;quot;Flight of Destiny&amp;quot;  (An Award-Winning Steampunk/Horror Short Story Podcast)</title>
  <description>Welcome to my bedroom closet.
Okay, I know what my website claims.&amp;amp;nbsp; Laurel Anne Hill crafts stories with inspirational premises, right?&amp;amp;nbsp; Worthiness is rewarded, right?&amp;amp;nbsp; Yet many of my short stories these days lurk in shadows of the horror genre.&amp;amp;nbsp; In fact, Horror Addicts (http://www.horroraddicts.net) named me &amp;amp;ldquo;Most Wicked 2011&amp;amp;Prime; for my entry,&amp;amp;nbsp;Flight of Destiny, in their Wicked Women Writers Challenge.&amp;amp;nbsp; How can a gal who believes in worthiness be most wicked?
Worthiness has its reward.&amp;amp;nbsp; Unworthiness does, too.
But wait, I&amp;amp;rsquo;ve been known to inflict horror upon my characters who try to live decent lives, even let some of them lose their battles against evil.&amp;amp;nbsp; How do I reconcile that disparity with my website statements?
Bad things happen to good people every day.&amp;amp;nbsp; They misread situations.&amp;amp;nbsp; They miscalculate their own abilities.&amp;amp;nbsp; Sometimes, through no fault of their own, they end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.&amp;amp;nbsp; Encounters with &amp;amp;ldquo;the dark&amp;amp;rdquo; forces characters to find strength within their weaknesses or else succumb.
In other words, the power of love, honor, faith and duty really can surmount daunting obstacles and transform lives.&amp;amp;nbsp; But sometimes such power fails, leaving characters to fend for themselves whatever way they can.
Flight of Destiny&amp;amp;nbsp;stirs steampunk, infidelity, jealously, and a radioactive poison into a delicious hot-pot of horror. &amp;amp;nbsp;I hope you enjoy my story, which lasts approximately 33 minutes.
Warm wishes,
