The Lizard and the Frog

Aug 25

DAY 24 OF FLASH AUGUST FICTION. Wow, it’s pretty much the home stretch, now. Just 6 more days, including today.

DAY 26 OF FLASH AUGUST FICTION. I was thinking of doing a thing where I finish today’s story very close to midnight and then doing tomorrow’s story directly after midnight. I may do that before this is over. After today, it’s only four left, so I’d better pull the trigger if it’s going to happen.

DAY 29 OF FLASH AUGUST FICTION. Has to be about cats today. I have had vivid dreams the last couple of nights. The dream interpreters all say that if you dream of cats, it’s about your relationship with the feminine. I had a long dream of all these playful cats, and they were climbing on me everywhere I went and following me. Wow. I remember those days.…

The Stoics

THE FINALE OF FLASH AUGUST FICTION. Hungry Henry and Rotund Ronald have become pals. Did you ever listen to The Cheeseguard from Flash Fiction February? These two had an impromptu meeting, and they remained cohorts. Today they are avoiding capture by a cat. This is one of several animal stories from this month. Stoicism is a mixed bag. It’s part streng…

It’s good for my head to write stories every day. I don’t know if you know it, but I am writing a story every single day this month, producing it, and podcasting it. It’s fun to see what the mind comes up with on short notice.
