Hissing Widow

The Case of the Hissing Widow

Life is random, or something… Fighting through stupid stuff again (doctors appointment that is hopefully getting me closer to surgery). Did I mention that I am definitely going to need surgery? Seems my specialist that I had been seeing for my problem isn’t specialized enough. I am going to have …

Rough and Unready

Rough and Unready

Here we find ourselves at another Wednesday and an Indies Unlimited flash fiction challenge. I hope you know the deal by now. They give out a written and picture prompt and we use those to create a story of 250 words or less. Unless we don’t… Yeah, this story went …
