Our Town’s Evil Clown
John: The man in the leisure suit came to town in 1938. Some folks laughed others sneered. Mother said never to judge. I saw the evil inside that suit. Every town needs a jester, they said. I could never agree. A town good enough did not need such a contrivance. All the same, they let him stay. None of the town’s people, not one of my friends or family ever believed the things I knew that beast capable of. Least of all my sister. Lynn: “You did not hear what you think you heard, last night. It is impossible, Johnny, simply impossible. I will grant you, though, we should never…

THINGS CHANGE
Several years ago, I started a blog called Grandpa’s Gone Again? As the scribe for my varied adventures, I realized I actually enjoyed the writing process. During my work life, I wrote snooze-worthy budget narratives, project proposals, and bid requests (boring even now). Later, I thought to try writing fiction. You mean I can make stuff up, wow.
