Some personal favorites from over the years
[ETC.]

Love at 27A
Bartleby Snopes
A story about heartbreak and a sentient, autonomous car.

Rung
First Stop Fiction

The Hotline for Lonely Men
Digging Through the Fat
A dark story about a late night phone call.
To Have the Ass

A Day in the Neighborhood
Pea River Journal
A microfiction suite about people down on their luck. Published in Pea River Journal’s “Worksongs for the Apocalypse” edition. I still have the hardcopy – a great collection I’m happy to be a part of.
