The Furry Thief
For Paul and John's 47-Words Short Story Unofficial Challenge.
That damn squirrel stole my sandwich again, leaving only crumbs and a note demanding “get better bread.” I tried reasoning with him, but he brought lawyers, three chipmunks in tiny suits. They won the case. Now I’m legally required to provide lunch, snacks, and emotional support nuts.

Izzy's Hair
In March of 2019, my daughter Izabella turned five. She had one wish for her birthday that I thought might be a little bit out of reach for such a young girl. She wanted pink hair. Not extensions. Not clip ins. She wanted to dye it. After a while, we decided to look into safe dyes and allowed her to go ahead and get some pink dye. We got everything ready and an hour later, our baby had pink hair.

Side Quest Goal Achieved: Placing an Alien Claim
This is a post that has me quite ecstatic. It's funny, I thought it was going to be one of my usual, "Hey, I achieved another one of my goals and checked it off" type deals. And it sort of is. But it sort of isn't. And it's also one of my greatest writing accomplishments of late.
