Last year, I took part in a month of creating called “Write Like You’re Alive.” The goal was to create something each day during the month of July. The end result was a collection of short stories, poems, and artwork. My personal contribution was a photograph I took in Kansas City. This year, Zoetic Press […]

I’ve got a piece of microfiction up at Bat Terrier today, called The Devil’s Toybox. It’s a 99 word story that grew out of a longer piece I was trying to write. The longer story didn’t work, but this little bit from the ending stuck with me. So I tightened it up into this little […]
