Also, read this story.

"The other time they just let her go because only one other student claimed Pamela pushed the Barbie look-alike into an oncoming car. No one believed the snitch because she was an attention-seeking Goth girl with purple-and-black hair." - Noreen Graf mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...

What I love about @turnandwork.com 's Shortlist posts is that they keep introducing me to writers I've never heard of. In this case, I've only heard of one of the writers on the list. I'm so looking forward to discovering all of the others!

@mmschreier.bsky.social has such a gift for vivid descriptions. See what I mean in her new piece in Uncharted!

The Taste of a Name - Uncharted
Some dreams taste like cotton candy. Nostalgic moments, remembered imperfectly with their spun-sugar veneers. Others are dark chocolate, writhing with intertwined limbs, playing out carnal fantasies. ...

I first read this story in '98 or '99 in Storyteller Magazine. I have long since lost my copy of that issue, but never forgot "I wasted the Clantons." Something my husband and I still say to each other.

I finished off the Clanton Gang just before teatime. Ike was the last of them -- a dastardly devil if ever there was one. Him and me shot it out on a dog day afternoon on Tombstone
