Here’s my entry for the November Flash Fiction Draw Challenge (the post for the original November draw is here). In case you didn’t know about this challenge, there’s a video here explaining (and showing the monthly draw), but the quick version is this: I use three suits from a deck of cards to randomly put together a genre … Continue reading Crossing — A Flash Fiction Draw Challenge
