Valkyrie

I don't need Victoria's Secret for that

This was an interesting, well-written, and unique story. Perfect for the anthology!

I'm a one-of-a-kind

Thank you so much!

Good morning! I got up early and went grocery shopping, then had to go to two hardware stores to find what I need for the new sump pump jury-rig. I made chili in the crockpot overnight and OMG it smelled sooooooo goooooood all night. Now I'm going to roast some butternut squash to make some soup. The crockpot is getting a good workout lately lol I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm exhausted already and I still have a lot to do today before my friend arrives. She may just have to live with an unmopped kitchen floor lol

OMG *coffcoff Hey Jude coffcoff*

I've been busy getting ready for my BFF's visit I've also been dealing with house stuff. I'm waiting on a call back to make an appointment to get the corner by the sump pump fixed. I found a YouTube video of a good temporary fix while the conductor line thaws. One where I don't have to worry about the temporary line freezing. I bought a ten foot pipe this morning at Home Depot, thinking that would be a good fix, but I have something else that will work better I think. Driving home with it sticking out my car window was interesting... The temps got into the mid 50s today, which feels great, but means that there's a quick thaw. When the snow thaws too quickly, it means water in the basement. The sump pump has been going off every 3-4 minutes all day. Good thing I have a new one! I did some laundry earlier and it looks like I'll be needing a new washing machine soon. I swear, one more thing and I'm going to have a total breakdown I had another dental appointment this evening and everything still looks great. My next appointment isn't for another four months I've got chili cooking in the crockpot overnight and it already smells so good. I have a couple of errands to run tomorrow am, then my mom is going to help me with the new sump pump line, then a little house cleaning and I'll be ready for my BFF's visit

I guessed before he looked up your post... it just confirmed my suspicion Guess I know you better than I thought... Should I be afraid?

Poor Cyn I'm sure Shea will help bolster his confidence as Cyn becomes more accustomed to his new world. Hopefully they'll find the mole soon and bring them to justice

Woo hoo! This was a tough one ⭐ I can't wait to see who's next And I'll be sure to re-read the featured stories

It's in the mid 30s here and cloudy. It snowed again this morning, but just a dusting. I got up early and went grocery shopping. Now I'm working on getting my guest room ready for my BFF.

I think I need a gallon of it

I knew Shea would end up staying with him Cyn is adapting to human comforts. It's nice seeing Shea and Kara so supportive.

Same here. We got about 3-4" of snow this morning and now it's raining. Temps are in the mid 30s and supposed to stay there till Thursday. My BFF is coming for a visit on Thurs through the weekend

Very cool!

That's a lovely picture of you and your dad. I'm sorry for your loss

Thank you so much! It's unfortunate how accusations destroy lives, whether they're founded or not. No one cares about the follow-up story or retractions. They're judge, jury, and executioner without knowing all the facts, and I don't think they realize or care that it's someone's life on the line. I'll definitely be writing more about Patrick in the future. Thanks for reading

Thank you so much! One of the requirements for anthology stories is that they be stand-alone stories, even if they feature known characters or are part of a series. These characters are all part of my universe from "The Hollow Hills", and Patrick appears in "THH - Galentine's Day Special". I wrote the story because I also wondered about how people face this situation and how--and if--they're able to recover their lives. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading and commenting!

Welcome! There's lots to enjoy here

Thank you so much I'm hoping to write the next part of their story for one of this year's anthologies. I'm not sure which one yet.

Thank you so much! I'm glad the story had you thinking.
