This is my opening of my new work in progress, In the Dark. What do you think? Does this work as an opening? I’m glad I could write tonight, and been able to work on a chapter. My husband isn’t dead, I only spoke to him hours ago. Well, spoke isn’t the right word, moreContinue reading “In The Dark”

For Carrot Ranch
A story in 99 words A zipper for all occasions, it was an idea Helen had since her zipper got stuck on a dress she had once loved. No more throwing away clothes, which could have lasted longer.

Blind Date
What possessed me to go on Tinder? Boredom? Long lonely evenings with just my cat for company? I wasn’t sure, but sitting opposite my date, that’s where I wanted to be. He insisted on ordering the most expensive wine, and shared one glass with her. There were so many things she knew about his ex-wife,Continue reading “Blind Date”
