IWSG: A Day Late and…

Okay so the official post date was yesterday and it is now Thursday but I was really looking forward to Insecure Writer’s Support Group this month.

Turkey & Things

Friday Fictioneers: The Bet

“You know,” Frank said, “people really will bet on anything.” Charles could not resist the challenge. “You want to bet?” Two days later…. Frank accepted his twenty bucks from Stan, a mutual friend, while Charles watched from a distance. “Best twenty bucks I ever spent,” Stan said. “He cooked, plucked, and ate it.” As soon as […]
