Romeo’s Fire by James Scott Bell is this week’s Reader Friday post. Here’s the first line: “Why aren’t you married?” It was one o’clock in the afternoon and I was washing Mrs. Edna Morgenstern’s windows. But first the photo and verse.

Crazy State Laws #52 is this week’s Mystery Question. But first, I forgot to let you know what my word count was for the week! Two weeks ago it was 36,000 and now it’s 50,000.

Flight Risk by Cara Putman is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the opening: “Savannah, call for you on line one. Says he’s a reporter. Never heard of him.” But first the photo and verse. As I picked up my mail earlier this week, I looked up and these contrails crisscrossed the sky about my house. I hurried inside and grabbed …
More Crazy Laws #49 is this week’s Mystery Question. But first a report on my word count as of Monday night. Last week I was at 24,000 words and now I’m at 29,000.
