Plunked Clean
I’m taking a one-week break from my series focused on the theme of waiting. There’s only one story left, and I have a rough idea of what it will be, but it simply wasn’t ready… Plunked Clean
The Waiting 9
For the ninth installment of this bizarre little serious on waiting, a creative essay. The narrator isn’t me, so in that sense this is fiction. But you won’t find much of a plot. This is… The Waiting 9
The Waiting 8
On to the eighth one. I’ve settled on a total of 10 waiting stories. It’s an unconventional series, but one I’m really enjoying. I’m going to take your silence as agreement. (It’s my website. I… The Waiting 8
