It Could Happen to You

Once again, I imposed a 500 word limit on myself. My heros are those who make 500 word assignments. I wonder. Is the governing board that sets standards for fairies elected or appointed?

Flip Side

Okay, this thing turned out to be almost 1500 words. It may be that a paradox may be tough to do in 500. I wrote a handful of Harry Hall stories back in the 90's, but this is the first new one in 15 years.

Truth is Overrated

Here's my entry for Linda's "liar" assignment. It's a little long, but I don't think I should cut it down any. If it's painful, it's Linda's fault.

Context

Here is my submission for the "unnamed artifact" assignment. There is something about the setting of this story that is very much like that of "Loophole." Am I to be trapped forever in this alien landscape?

bugged

Here is my illness side-effects story. For the first time in several contests, I really felt the squeeze of the word limit on this one. I would have liked to use a few more to describe the main character here to help create the word images.

Terror Manor

I overdid it. It may not have the same effect on anyone else, but I scared myself half to death with this one.
