Guy de Maupassant's head ached less as the carriage slowed. Gloria twirled the tip of his mustache, laughing softly, interpreting the sneer as flirtation. Escorted into the apartment, she froze, back pressed against the closed door. Her eyes darted left to a crow flapping its black wings, right to t...

Well that sent me down a pretty interesting ETA Hoffman rabbit hole. Not only was he an actual writer but his story "The Sand-man' inspired Freud to write 'The Uncanny'. But back to your drabble... I know that my interest in horror is somehow associated with my living a very safe and protected life....

I think this one should be selected for narration.

Thanks Zeb, my fellow Chicagoan. Your feedback makes a contributor feel good about posting. I wrote this in verse but was not sure how easily it would read.

Good stuff.

Too funny

Bringing yourself together this morning, allowing each thought a bid for the day, you negotiate the whole person while bathing, knowing who you'll be when you set on your way.

Interesting story. Also sounds like Napoleon was a bit of a horndog.

How she dreaded leaving her apartment! It took years for her to feel safe in the small bubble she created around her home, shielded from the crazies, murderers and rapists in the world. But she got the letter and had to go. She rented a car and set out, a knife tucked in her coat, aware that she mig...

Things looked bad for us the day all the bees died. Breaking news, 24 hour cycles, reporters chewing on facts in every language known to man. All implications were grim and reality followed with well practiced riots, fires, bombs. The ground shook. Global rain began to burn us. Burned through everyt...

In sepia toned Kansas, Dorothy gets dirty again gardening and back in Oz, Glinda rules with hands so clean they sparkle.

I hear that the liver goes well some fava beans and a nice chianti.

I savored roaming the vineyard alone, picking grapes for my private reserve of red wine. Papa planted the vines when he was quite young. By the time he was my age, he walked these rows with a grandchild in tow. Over time he taught me everything needed to run his premium winery. Papa was round, with ...
