Azrael's Stop: Tales of the Stop A project of Silverstring Media Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Welcome! Azrael’s Stop is an experimental fiction and music project, about life, death, and friendship. It is the story of a mystical tavern called Azrael’s Stop, where rumour says people are led when they’re ready to die. The narrative centres around the bartender, seventeen-year-old Ceph, a boy who has seen his loved ones die around him throughout his life. The story is told here on this website in daily pieces of microfiction: every day, a new piece is added to the story, which unfolds over the course of a year. Every month, we also post a longer piece of fiction. In addition, each of these longer pieces is paired with a song from our soundtrack, and the experience is best with story and music together. Tales of the Stop is an anthology project of short fiction and other types of stories that take place in and around Azrael’s Stop during Ceph’s tenure as proprietor.
