“Here’s your damn baby-wipes, Twenty-Seven!” Jane stepped aside as her twin sister, Sue, barged into the house. Sue glared at Jane’s ratty robe. “Have you even taken a shower since we moved you in here?” “It burns,” Jane mumbled, sitting at the table. “It does not burn,” Sue snapped. “The plumber checked the settings on … Continue reading 2019 Halloween Tale: Twenty-Seven

“I don’t know about this, Rachel,” Amy said, straightening her Cleopatra costume and glancing at the candles they had arranged in the clearing around the Witch’s Well. “Maybe we should just go to the dance.” “It’s fine,” Rachel snapped. “We’re just going to scare her a little.” She tugged the bottom of her too-tight mini-skirt … Continue reading The Thirteenth Coven
It's been a terrible few days here in the USA. A shooter opened fire on a crowd of concert goers and killed at least 50, and injured hundreds more. Social media went wild with reports and speculation and videos...and of course, the usual fare of those who think no one has the right to own … Continue reading Truth Delivered with Soup…
Okay, so that's from Fantasy Island. But it just sounded better than "It's here! It's here!" LOL! (Is my age showing?)
