@LouiseMangos I'd be happy to 😀

[Tarik Bacchus @TarikinToronto]

Second round done! A horror story set at a man-made lake, but the real horror is the friends we made along the way. Good luck everyone! #FlashFictionchallenge2023 @nycmidnight

[Tarik Bacchus @TarikinToronto]

@KProkhovnik Thanks Kathy! Yes, a tough one, for sure

Maybe old-fashioned, but he believed in a natural #hierarchy.

When the old gods returned, he was the only one with sense enough to stop "our fathering" and start burning offerings. #30Words30Days
