Say, Cheese!
L.C. Schäfer proposed that we should all here on Vocal write a microfiction for every day in 2024. No mean feat but I decided to rise to the challenge and limp to the finish line. Probably.

Rachel Reviews: The Trout Wail by Greg Buck
Greg Buck has written something in "The Trout Wail" which is an unexpected and rather enjoyable thriller. The book starts with Molly Hund having a fallout with her boss, Donald, a seemingly innocuous disagreement which we soon learn has much deeper repercussions for Molly, as Donald is not all that he seems to be and the extent of his reach and his purpose is made manifest as the book progresses. Also ,at the start of the book, Molly then has to defend herself against hired hurters and manages to escape and is helped in this by coyotes, who appear to protect her.

Mackenzie Davis set us a challenge and I decided to write not one but two entries. There may be a third but some brain brewing needs to happen for that to occur!

Animal. Top Story - January 2024.
I am an animal. Sophisticated? Maybe. But what does that mean? Sophisticated how? How is that measured? I don't feel it right now,

A Day at the Beach
L.C. Schäfer proposed the idea that she would write a story every day for 2024 and invited other Vocalists/Vocalites along for the ride. And so, here I still am. Day 2 of Week Three.

Perdita Nummum
I don't like where I am now. I'm in good company but I would prefer to be away from the glass and the lights. I don't like being pinned. I want to be free.

The Strange Wistfulness of Used Bookstores
This could be my best title yet but it is not my own work unfortunately. L.C. Schäfer proposed the idea that she would write a story every day for 2024 and invited other Vocalists/Vocalites along for the ride. And so, here I still am. This is now the beginning of Week Three. I never thought I would get this far.
