Bio
I joined for a contest, that I found today...The submission date ends today. So yeah.
We'll see if I can write a 2,000 word short story in one day that ends up being worth 2,000 dollars?
What makes a good short story, really?

Merelda
June scowled at her blurry reflection in one of the local gas station’s grimy, floor-to-ceiling windows. She thought, does Bernerd ever clean this building? She placed an index finger on the forehead of her fuzzy reflection and, frowning at the cold grit on the glass, she focused. A maternal face appeared to her. Black curls framed a visage aged by hard-work and enduring compassion. Mahogany colored eyes smiled at her with genuine joy. Rest in peace, Merelda, and thank you. A bittersweet ache touched June’s heart.

Unpredictable.
The dull thrumming of musical instruments vibrated up through the floor of the rented tavern room. Lively banter rode on wafts of breakfast aromas into the open window and intermingled with the pleasant spring breeze. All of which culminated to juxtapose the mounting dread weighing down Tomalin’s insides. He glared at the wrapped, brown, paper box resting between him and Dorn in the middle of their shared room. The morning light from the window prodded the unknown package as the gentle wind nudged the nearby tree, casting faded, undulating shadows.
