  • The Laundromat

    PHOTO PROMPT © Miles Rost  I didn’t know how much time I spent at the laundromat, but it was enough.  Enough to make me feel like a bit of a failure, but also reminded me I had come so far. I spent much of my free time in laundromats doing other people’s laundry. I had to…

  • Worldly

    Draped among the branches  Happiness abounds  Yellow finches bathing  In a recess on a granite cliff  Unusually quiet  Beautiful and desolate  And as remote as the moon

  • Zines continued

    We are having an event at the library today to make zines and I’m hoping lots of people will show up (cross your fingers!!). I’ve looked at zine making in the past, but only saw the folded paper way to make zines. I wasn’t thrilled about it because I sometimes am a bit of a…

  • The Mortician

    “Mark, I know you are new, but this funeral is important.  It’s a secret.  We need to hide everything about this death.  We will do the embalming and send the body on the way with his family.”  Jack turned back to his computer like nothing odd was happening.  But by the way the undertaker’s eye…
