The Sins of Acheryn
The Sins of Acheryn tells the tale of the cataclysmic fall of a vanished empire.

An angry young man unwillingly returns to the church of his childhood. And on that day, he finds a buyer for the last valuable item he has — his soul.I published this on Associated Content in response to a short story prompt that simply said “write a story based on a picture.” I had a photo of an old church that I had taken in Iceland back in 2003.
