It’s Not Always The Best Outcome
I’ve been struggling lately. I changed jobs and now have to balance a very hectic work schedule that no one does for me when I take time off with my household of three teenage children and four large dogs. My new job is a struggle because after being a pharmacy technician for 15 years, I’m…

My Friday Trip to Nowhere

Ghost in the Night- a short story

Witch vs Wizard
Chapter 1 “But, Mr. Wizard, why can’t we chant in English?” inquired a fair-faced adept positioned at the inner circle of enchantment. Her freckles were so thick it caused her milk-white skin to appear beige. “To chant in Celtic,” replied Wizard, “is to add power to your words, Ms. Adept. Now, resume; Sgothan geala.”…
