My husband lost me in a poker game to Michael Cassio, a man I’ve always been afraid to be near. I would have run, but I agreed to it before he did it. There aren’t that many hands that could have beat my husband’s flush, and the pot was just so big. What are the odds?
I should have run. – Straight Flush and Stone Walls by J.W. Hale
A howling wind ripped snowflakes from the pines above. She could feel them brush across her cheeks, but winter’s bitter sting did not bother her as it once had.
Another sound rose to meet the wind’s wail, this one tiny and incessant, like the bleating of a little lamb.
“I did not think death would smell like this,” she said. By “this” she meant tinged metallic, slightly sweet, a bit sweaty, but overwhelmingly like life. – The Dead Mother by T. A. Freeman
You will find a great blend of writing here, people with multiple novels under their belt, some closet writers, such as myself, who only lately have begun to seek publication, and some neophytes, just flexing their newly discovered writing muscles.
We come from many different walks of life and differ in many ways. But we all share a love for writing, and a love for one another. We hope that you will be entertained and amused, hopefully at least a little creeped out, and maybe even downright terrified.
Enjoy! – Michael Huff
