Hello People!

Tonight I was a force of nature. 1336 words in 1:15. First night like that in ages. I also had enough energy to clean out my cubbyhole of poetry. I discovered I can drink black coffee and be conscious for 16 hours without sleeping half the time away. I can promise the two were unrelated! All by cutting carbs. Of course my blood sugar was still sky high, and there was a near-constant background of almost-threatening voices, but still. It was a good day.

Tom Loved your story “Big Daddy” in Rock and a Hard Place, #7.
Great opening — first line and paragraph.
Haven’t read the entire issue yet — 12 of 17 stories — but it’s my favorite so far in a very strong collection.
