Pilfered Wealth
The handsome redbird landed with a screech atop the high post fence. From his perch, he cocked his head sideways, surveying the long porch that ran the length of the pool. It was scattered with an array of items from last night’s party: empty and half-full glasses of champagne, beaded necklaces, discarded masks, and half-eaten food. Dang, but Mardi Gras was one big party.

Fried Southern Roots
Camille had lived in the South all her days. She was twenty-nine years of age and still single, which was a near unheard of occurrence in the small town she called home. All of her friends had been married for several years and most were parents of at least two children. Camille did not understand.

The large blackbird landed with a screech atop the high post fence. From his perch, he cocked his head sideways, surveying the long porch that ran the length of the pool. It was scattered with an array of items from last night’s party: empty and half-full glasses of champagne, beaded necklaces, discarded masks, and half-eaten food. Damn, but Fat Tuesday was one big party.
