Flash Fiction

Image via Wikipedia *Goddess’s note: My daughter is on the verge of presenting me with my first grandchild, so I might seem a little scattered. I am a little scattered, heh! No labor yet, but all the signs are there. Yay! At any rate, I’ll post the links to the participating stories for your reading [...]
