H is for Happiness
I usually avoid religious references. But what are myths but great stories of power? I picked Happiness for today. And there was only one character to portray its essence.
When Douchey Men Have Daughters
All that noise and gunfire and the sound of grown men weeping? That’s just the sound of someone getting his just desserts.
G is for Gift
I tried an exercise of epistolary format so I used a story you may already know. It’s about a gift.
F is for Fear Economy (Feardom)
Feardom is a world of ghouls, monsters-under-the-bed, aliens & otherworld creatures.
