Oookay, yes, now I can see the pipe, if I really zoom the image. Insofar as Ron’s “broken bottle,” though…I got nuthin’. Is that meant to be a branch or piece of wood from the fire that’s heating…whatever those are? Used as a pipe lighter? And lemme say, that’s sooooome chin there.
Short Story Compilation aka Anthology.
AKA, a collection of stories I could not sell elsewhere.
Let’s try “collection”; “anthology” really should be reserved for a multi-author volume.
Good point.
It should definitely be collection. “Compilation” is just…wrong.
What the holy hell is in her mouth? It looks like she’s holding cardboard or…IDK what that is, in her mouth. ???

It still might be a broken bottle. I’m taking no chances.
