Hello, Dolly!

Voodoo doll

At least the magnolia trees are in bloom, Antoinette thought as she walked down Toulouse Street. Normally, she would have driven to her Tante Marie’s but Gary wrecked the car. What a loser—no job, a drunk, and uses a fist. “He’ll get his,” Antoinette muttered and walked into the Shoppe. “Ma Chèrie! Your beautiful face! Who…?” “I’m ok, Tantine,” Antoinette sighed. …

Mug-Z

There are three oversized concrete steps to navigate before I reach the threshold of the doorway.  I always trip over it. It’s been there every day, just like me, for the past thirty years and I still trip over the same wayward chunk of rubber. This skid-clunk of incoordination is my trademark. Snickers here pockets of chuckles …

Afterthoughts

Rocco had never been more alone in his life. There were no sounds except the ones he made himself. He’d only made them to ensure he wasn’t deaf. Rocco wondered about the altitude. Would he die of a heart attack on the way down? Perhaps he’d splatter the jagged peaks below like a bug hitting a windshield. “Probably have a …

Sweet Revenge

kent-bonham

I missed Friday Fictioneers last week. I couldn’t make the deadline and I really missed reading everyone else’s stories. I am back this week in time to submit a story, but then I’m travelling to France for a few days. I will catch up when I get back.  Thanks to Rochelle for never missing a beat, what …
