100 Word Story: Harmony Forest

September 17, 2018

The green trees stood proudly in the sea of bright young grass. No human footsteps had ever crossed the path, no harsh boot prints had pressed the flowers.

Story Musing #2

July 9, 2018

Okay, I’ve hit 5,000 words! For Camp NaNo so far, I think I’ve been doing…okay.

100 Word Story: Truly

June 28, 2018

Short Story: The Squirrel Olympics

May 17, 2018

“Hey! I saw that worm first!” Stiff yelled to Bluey, flying down to the leafy path to join his sister. “Stiff! Shut your beak! I’m trying to watch the squirrel Olympics!” Beaky retorted, gobbling a piece of caramel worm. “No! Stiff! This is my worm!” Bluey screamed as Stiff tried to take the juicy worm…
