Getting Older. Free will. Fruitcake.
Hoo boy. This should be interesting. Okay, here I go.

“Really?”
A long, forked tongue slithered out
of the sewer pipe and retreated back between a squared-off, light brown snout.
“I got ssssscared.”
Detective Ralph Littlejohn put hands

Diamonds. Life. Love.
It's absolutely true, aside from her dog and hopefully her significant other, diamonds are a girl's best friend. And, diamonds are shiny and sparkly for those of us who have some

Do. Not. Try. This. At. Home! This week's Twisted Links are:
Aliens. Shapeshifters. Cell Phones.

The secondary possibility is
