Flash Fiction, Random Rants, tutto e niente

#foreveryes

I tell myself I write for the love of writing. I tell myself it’s OK if no one else reads it. I tell myself that something can be good even if no one else *likes* it.  I tell myself ….

But …

And what about …

And if a tree falls in a forest is its death worth it if nobody reads my stuff?! (Wait.  I think I screwed up that reference.)

So …

I cannot deny it’s pretty damn cool when someone else DOES like it.

I submitted this piece to The Drabble and long story short (literally–it had to be less than 100 words) they liked it. They really liked it! (Apologies to Sally Field for stealing (and then messing with) her line. No apologies to those who don’t get that reference. You have your youth–so there’s that!)

So go visit it and give it a LIKE (if you like).  You can find #foreveryes at The Drabble

Florida Headline News

Boone spent weeks rigging up a harness for Cody. Teaching him to point and pull the cord when it got close. Then BAM! Dead alligator. Hero dog. He’d record it. Go viral. Rake in the big bucks.

He was partly right. It did go viral.

Just google the headline “Alligator shoots man after eating dog.”
