Until April ~ Reader Friday
Until April by Janet W. Ferguson is this week’s Reader Friday post. Here’re the first three lines. “This is freedom.” Wind whipped through Michael Galloway’s hair. Warm water sprayed his tanned skin. A palette of blues and greens shimmered beyond the tip of his jet ski. This is the calm before the storm…But first the photo and verse. I took …

The Escape Game ~ Reader Friday
The Escape Game by Gina Holder is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first paragraph: They weren’t going to win. Not today.

You can’t just purloin it from me.” …
