I started playing around with this idea as a daily writing exercise while deployed to Bahrain back in 2004. I have a series of vignettes based upon this opening. I think it has some potential, but I haven’t played with it since then. Completely first draft, unedited, all the usual … Continue reading →
Inuit and I are watching The Playoffs together, and shaking our heads. We are surprised anyone is shocked that the Miami Heat got eliminated in the first round.
