Comments OffDetour: A Short Short Story.
I have been reading some on Flash Fiction. I don’t know if this qualifies, but it’s a short story I wrote a long time ago and tonight decided to cut the clutter and trim up to 1000 words exactly. It’s called Detour. Enjoy. *** He looked around the noisy, dark room. Wafts of cigarette smoke...

Comments OffI write.
Sometimes writing comes easy for me. Then there are times like tonight when I feel the urge, and yet it sits there and I stare at the screen and nothing wants to come out. I even venture to the Creativity Portal and use the Imagination Prompt. A few appealed to me, but nothing enough to...
