The Patchwork Flag
The Patchwork Flag (169 Words) “It’s raining.” “Aye. It is.” She could feel his eyes on her. She didn’t look up from her work, her precise needle stitching together corduroy and silk. Her husband sat beside her. He lifted the patchwork at one fold, feeling the texture. “Is this Maggie?” The woman raised her head,Continue reading “The Patchwork Flag”
One Ring
Here is a scene about one ring, two tempers, and a young woman who is appallingly candid. *** “I do not value gifts from dead men.” She had said it. She meant it, too, with all her dark and hardened heart. His crippled body was in a wheelchair, wrapped from the waist down in aContinue reading “One Ring”

Wallie the Imp on Wringing Words
Wallie the Imp likes to read. In Impland, Imps admire books for their practical usefulness: you can read them, write in them, and chew on them. Wallie tells me that nothing tastes better than a nicely yellowed paperback.
Wallie on Best Friends in Low Places
Wallie the Imp and I were walking through campus to meet my Friend. Wallie has a marvelous skill for not being noticed by strangers, so I was able to keep him with me. I daresay everyone thought I was a little off center for walking about speaking rudimentary Impish, but I had out my mobile, myContinue reading “Wallie on Best Friends in Low Places”
