Happy Halloween friends! In honor of this fun, spooky day, here’s a new short ghost story!
This one was originally written for the NYC Midnight Flash Fiction Challenge in which no more than 48 hours and 1,000 words could be used to write a story involving the following elements : a ghost story, a martini glass, an oil refinery.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There’s something about this time of year that inspires a longing to start something new. To set and accomplish new goals.

A short story originally written for a challenge, in which no more that 525 words could be used to write a story that included the following: a woman in a clothes dryer, a wooden hanger, a brush with no bristles, and menstrual cramps.
I hope you enjoy my attempt at a sort of detective drama / mystery!
My review of the fun, food-centered fiction novel ‘Delicious!’ by Ruth Reichl, including the best quotes from the book.

Short story originally written for a writing challenge – “Today was Generational Integration Day at Meadow Winds Assisted Living. Some cockamamie outreach program designed to keep the residents active while promoting the facility’s “wonderful activities” to the community – you know in case there were people nearby thinking of sending their elders to this god forsaken hell hole….”
