So, this is one from a while back, as I only write micro fiction these days, so I have a limited pool to choose from. No pun intended! Anyway, I still like it and it was good fun to go back to. It's called "The Club" and it highlights the perils of joining a gym : -

This is a story from a while ago about a Dad who is just trying to find some water for his little girl. I'm really proud of it.

My submission is "Gigi Talcon's Award Winning Gardenias." A bit of folk horror with a splash of campy.

This story does stand alone, however it's part of an anthology, which is the ColbyStream after the story. The ColbyStream is not part of the submission, just the stand alone short story.
