There’s nothing like a year-end post in the middle of January. Also: books I read in 2013.
Here are the books I read in 2013. Read ’em and weep with me. There weren’t nearly enough of them.
Three-sentence romance story: TRIANGLE

Flash Fiction Challenge: Continuing Someone Else’s Story, Part 4
Hile, inklings! Today I bring you my latest entry for author Chuck Wendig’s December Flash Fiction Challenge. Cats on a spaceship! What could go wrong?
Three-sentence horror story: SERVICE
Okay. OKAY. I know I said not all of my three-sentence fic would be horror. But I can’t help it! These three-sentence stories just lend themselves so ridiculously well to the genre! Like pumpkins to jack-o’-lanterns. Or cats to patches of sunlight. Or pancreatic juices into duodenums. Duodena. Whatever.
Anyway.
Here’s another three-sentence story. @BenHoward87 inspired it, because he asked for a bedtime story on Twitter the other night.
Yes. A bedtime story. And I came up with horror. Go figure.
ANYWAY.
Here ya go. Enjoyyyy…. 😉

The maid had cleaned up the blood again.
