“Pop Culture Fairy Tale,” a Very Short Story

My Prince!

The entire kingdom is in an uproar and my parents are pissed.

It’s my fault. I can’t help it.

I kissed a frog, and I liked it.

Writing Prompt #37: ‘Til Death Do Us Part

Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons has a wealth of images, most are public domain or free to use under Creative Commons license. I love going through it randomly. Just when I think I’ve found all the interesting images the site can possibly contain, I get surprised, like with this creepy photograph of a pair of skeletons holding each other. It seems to be a statue, but it’s still pretty macabre.

Pretend it’s not a statue, but real skeletons locked in a terrifying goodbye. What do you think happened before the couple’s last embrace? What final horror did they experience before they died? Who went first?

There’s a story in that deadly hug, and it’s up to you to tell it.

Eighty Nine Book Trailer Released

Woke up to wonderful news on the Eighty-Nine group page on Facebook this morning. Devin Watson posted the completed live-action book trailer for eMergent Publishing’s anthology “Eighty Nine,” a collection of speculative fiction stories based on events in the year 1989. My story “Nowhere Land” is published in the book.

Eighty Nine can be purchased on Amazon and is available for Kindle, too!

April Blogging Frenzy (It just ‘aint happening…)

I started to get interested in the idea of participating in the A-to-Z Blogging Challenge for the month of April. I even started scribbling notes in my journal on things to blog about for specific days according to the alphabetical theme. I went as far as creating a spreadsheet for possible titles of said blog posts, because I dig making spreadsheets. I’m just weird like that.

Then my joints in my right wrist started hurting and popping and put paid to that idea. Stopped it stone dead before it had a chance.

I’ve got some kind of crappy tendonitis thing going on. It’s incredibly painful and it’s all I can just manage to keep working and do my school work. I’m icing it and doing anti-inflammatory drugs. We’ll see.

But sadly, I won’t be doing A-to-Z this year. :-(

I hate to waste good ideas, though, so I will continue to flesh them out and write a post whenever the pain allows me. Hopefully my hand get back to normal soon, because the thought of the pain not going away makes me very scared.
