So, I was able to get published again. The Fourth River Journal has accepted my short piece titled 'Summer Corner'. This is one of my favorite pieces (flash fiction), even over, 'Losing My Muse' (Wild Musette #17) It hits a little closer to home (and my youth in the year nineteen and seventy two). This idea came about from a prompt given in a workshop I attended at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival 2019. Marc Niesen, a super writer, mentor and author, played a substantial role in helping me bring this piece to life. Please go there and read 'Summer Corner' for free. Reviews, comments, and suggestions, are acceptable.

Have to admit I am a wee bit disappointed. There was no change in the virus, yet they reopened. I could rant, but naw. I had friend once when I was a wee lad, used to always dare me to do things that I knew would kill or maim me. I was fooled once, almost lost some fingers over it. It only took one time for me to learn the 'Speeding Bus' theory. Yeah, you could step out in front of it, but... I suspect the same applies to a 'speeding virus' So, there are these people called scientists--we should start listening to them...
