So yeah, I got engrossed in grading and reading my students’ drafts of the paper they have coming up that I completely forgot to do the 5-Minute story for yesterday. Well, I wrote it. I just forgot to upload it. I wrote it last week. So I’m uploading it now. Ex 17. Must be easy […]
Ex 365. “And I think the crib should go there.” “And I think the crib should go there,” Adriana said as she walked through the extra bedroom with Matt, her husband of five years. Matt looked at her and was completely dumbfounded. Granted he loved the smile she was giving him; he loved when she […]

So, I took a break from posting since it was Ramadan and I decided to give up social media for the month. I maybe could have still posted, but then it came down to the does-this-count-as-social-media-or-not? So I was like, eh, I’ll just cut it all. Well, now Ramadan’s over. Yippee!!! Skippee!!! And I’m back. […]

Comic con is over. Time to get back to my real life and make plans for next year’s comic con. In the mean time, in lieu of a flash fic last Monday, I have done two for today. Here they are. “We don’t take things like this kindly…” “We don’t take things like this kindly,” […]
Amen fell out of the night sky in front of Chara like a dark cloud falling to eat her alive. His sword perched on his shoulder, she didn’t have to ask what his intent was. But she didn’t want to fight him. She didn’t have time to fight him. There was a whole world at […]
Let’s just pretend today is Monday. It’s like stretching the day out into extra innings!!! Yippeee!!! Yip…oh wait. “Please tell me you know where we are.” “Oh, God, please tell me you know where we are,” I said. “Of course, I do,” Anderson said. “As you said, I am God. “Oh Lord,” I prayed silently.
