My flash fiction "Dead End" is in the current issue of
Yemassee. Thanks to Chris Koslowski, Justin Brouckaert, and the rest of the staff for putting me in this issue among a host of excellent writers.
When Sissy and I wandered our new neighborhood, the kids
would scatter at our approach, huddle more tightly over their games, climb into
their treehouses and spy at us through paper towel tubes. Once I got hit with a
rain of pinecones and Sissy raged around in a circle, trying to catch out the
source of the laughter that rang from every hiding place.
