Tales of the Fallen — Joseph J. Bailey

Galen is an innkeep, a humble man who cares about his work and his patrons.
He also lives on the edge of a haunted forest.
One inhabited by a fell wizard far too many of his guests are intent to meet.
Despite Galen's warnings and admonitions, most travelers passing through his doors only stay long enough to ask a few questions before entering the dark wood.
Far too few come back.
These are the tales of some of those adventurers who return.
These are the tales of those Galen wishes had never left his door.

Tales of the Fallen is a short work of fantasy fiction totaling about 10,000 words.
