A Work of Fiction
After much consideration, I am going to continue posting my six sentence stories weekly, but my short stories and micro fiction are going to move to a biweekly schedule or the rest of the year so I can accommodate other projects. I finished my first novel last year, and would like to focus on getting … Continue reading A Work of Fiction
No Such Thing as a Free Lunch
This one will speak to anyone who has ever tried to make friends with another human being as an adult. Especially if your personality is on the abrasive side, poor John isn’t sure why he was invited to lunch, but he doesn’t trust it, not at first at least.

You … Continue reading My Family Vacation

Robbie had once seen a place where the feedback box … Continue reading A Miracle on the 34th Floor
A Wish for Christmas
Ok, so I want to say this is happy, but I think that would be giving false expectations. Maybe sappy would be better, a little cliche Christmas story. It does have a happy ending, and it is not incredibly dark or imply anyone died, so I I liked it. That said, I made myself cry. … Continue reading A Wish for Christmas
