Too Familiar: Odd Prompted
Kitten pulled the scarf tighter around her head and ducked out of the door, pulling it tightly shut behind her. The scarf wasn’t just to keep the biting cold wind out.

Free Story: Girl Talk
One of these days… maybe this coming month, since I have been living at a flat run this last 6-7 weeks, I will compile and publish a collection of short stories and flash fiction. For years I thought I couldn’t write anything longer than a short, so I have probably a dozen rattling around in…
