When things don’t go as planned

The opening sentence for the Featured Fiction writing prompt wouldn’t leave me alone this week. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t written anything in a while, and it makes me edgy. Since I had a minute or two today I decided to go with it. It turned into a lesson in what happens when you don’t plan!…

A bump in the night – It's All Relative #3

This week, for the non-fiction portion of the writing prompts, I’d like to talk about the unexplained.
