Note: Taking a short break from the Quik Trip saga (half of you will be disgruntled about this, the other half will light a votive candle of appreciation) to share an older bit that the lovely Melanie excavated during her archaeological dig on my old website. This one […]
Note: Yet another snippet from my work-in-progress for NaNoWriMo (click here to read this story from the beginning), picking up right after I have realized that I made a stupendous automotive error at the end of my midnight shift in a convenience store… So, there I am, […]
Note: Yet another snippet from my work-in-progress for NaNoWriMo (click here to read this story from the beginning), picking up right after the lovely Justine, Police Officer Extraordinaire and Coffee Buddy at the convenience store where I worked, had just queried “You gonna shove your stick in the […]
