Give me a oneshot to illustrate

Hi guys. Anyone has some cool idea for a short oneshot that they don't mind i use as practice? You will of course get credit for the story. My own stories are super long and ambitious, so i wanna start with something smaller.

What i like is historical/fantasy. Seinen/adults, horror/thriller/dark. Psychological or philosophical. It can have cool action, but action must not be the sole focus.

I would love to see my comic idea come to life! Four panels:

  1. A horses tail swats at something

  2. A horses ear flicks at something

  3. A fly wearing a blue vest is seen from behind bothering the horse. A speech bubble to the fly says "Sir!"

  4. You see the front of the fly wearing a blue vest Spectrum vest, the horse is annoyed in the background. A speech bubble to the fly says "Do you know how much you pay for home internet?"

I came up with a short story idea a while back it could work in comic book form. Each focusses on different gods who are pissed off at humans and want revenge. Loki messes with people at a comedy show, giving them everlasting smiles. Afrodite haunts a runway show, taking beauty to a whole new level. U made more of these if your interested.

Edit: if you were wanting something longer. I was planning to write it out as a one shot to expand the world and characters. We can talk about that too, if you're interested, of course. Don't know how much work you actually want, haha.
