In return for its services, travelers need to feed the souleater a piece of themselves, a brightness associated with one of their memories. Sometimes the animal doesn&#8217;t like what it finds inside a person&#8217;s soul, however, and may turn on the one that feeds it. Some souleaters are more dangerous than otheres&#8211;and some who work as couriers have particularly unpleasant things within their spirits.<\/p>\n<p>I will start shopping the story around soon. I can&#8217;t say how long it will be until it finds a home, but I&#8217;m eager for all of you to see it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2241\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/stevenrbrandt.com\/?p=2241&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2241\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/stevenrbrandt.com\/?p=2241&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend I finished a new 6000 word short story called &#8220;Feeding the Souleater.&#8221; The concept is that in order to travel across a particularly dangerous icy wasteland, people need the aid and protection of giant wolves called souleaters.
