Short Story
For Fox Sake
“Oh, great and powerful deity! We have waded through the roaring river, trekked through the wretched woods and scaled the mournful mountain to come before you and humbly ask for your help.” A deep voice echoed out around the hollow, startling the roosting birds.

Two Truths And A Lie. Top Story - September 2024.
I’m nobody’s fool. You wouldn’t survive five minutes in this business if you were. And it doesn’t matter if you’re as savvy as the Artful Dodger, if they catch even a whiff of spring grass about your feet they’ll try and have one over on you. This year, I’ve got twins in my class, monozygotic bloody twins. They’re the worst. They’re not those twins who try and carve out their own identities either. These two work their identical credentials like the Weasley’s, if the Weasley’s were black, and girls, and non-magical. Charity and Joy.

Dear Beatrice
Beatrice entered the kitchen half asleep even though it was four in the afternoon. There was a small pause, then everyone went back to their current activity. Beatrice sighed and walked over to the refrigerator. Her exhaustion only grew in the realization that nobody went to the store and her note remained ignored on the fridge door. The sound of the refrigerator door shutting louder than normal did not seem to affect the ecosystem in the kitchen. Every damn day…Beatrice thought to herself.

The Visitor
Ernie lived in a small cabin in the woods. It was really more of a luxury fishing shack than a true cabin with little work spent on appearance and much more work spent on function. He lived on a hill next to a very bubbly and largish stream which flowed to a river and then on to the sea. The cabin was surrounded by beautiful pines and maples and a sense of peace and contentment filled the air. For miles around, all that could be seen as a sign of human habitation was the small smoke trail from Ernie’s cabin where a warm fire kept the chill out of the air inside. Ernie sat napping in his easy chair, an open book on his lap and a steaming cup of coffee by his side.

One of a Kind
She’s good. Really good. This is hard to admit even just to myself. It’s not like I’m some wide-eyed, impressionable maiden. I’ve seen more bullshit than most, I’ve met my share of crooks and assholes and like to think that I can spot them a mile off.

Desmond Tutu Wore a Tutu to Tango. Content Warning.
Reminds me of the time Desmond Tutu wore a tutu to tango and solo-tangoe'd twenty-two times. I believe it was for charity. He raised one dollar and ninety-nine cents, which is a shame. A man of such renown should be able to raise more money by name recognition alone.
