The Void
One minute she was…actually, Deanne didn’t remember what happened a minute ago. Or the minute before. Or anything before that. That might be a problem. Anyway, now she was here. Or potentially she was nowhere. Oh! Maybe she was dead? What surrounded her was nothing. Or maybe she was surrounded by a bright white light.Continue reading “The Void”

Critter, Part 1
John Deacon killed the engine and stepped out of his pick-up, his boots rasping against the gravel that surrounded the EZ Pit Stop they had parked behind.
