Better Watch Out!
A Story Every Day in 2024 August 27th 240/366
It's gone! All my life's work! Gone! I found out by accident when I went Googling myself. No author called Jeff Trick; no bestsellers by Jeff Trick; no podcast by Jeff Trick!
Erased!
The eerie thing is, is that I wrote about this very thing happening and it didn't end well for the protagonist in my time shifting sci-fi series, Better Watch Out! Please don't tell me that life is imitating Art? What craziness is this?
"Hero pursued and ultimately erased by time-manipulating fiend." It begins with a knock at the door.
Oh God!
Is that a knock I hear?

The Man Who Always Fixed the Chair
There was a chair by the window in my childhood home that never stayed broken. It wasn’t a special chair. Wooden, plain, slightly uneven. One leg shorter than the others, so it rocked if you weren’t careful. Over the years, it cracked, loosened, and complained every time someone sat down too hard.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Brilliant. 100 words. Adorable! I like writing drabbles as well.
Oh, but that bit of micro fiction is bloody brilliant!
Boom! 100 words! What a cracker! Who’s at the door though?
This is full blown twilight zone stuff, Rachel! Great storytelling!
Lol, I don't even wanna imagine if what I write comes true for me. Loved your story!
Probably just selling something....
oooh. who's at the door, I wonder.
It's all about quality, not quantity. I'm sure Hemmingway and Poe would agree.
I love stories like that Rachel, where the contents of a creators mind come back to bite them/ come to life in the real world! Very clever! I wonder... who's at the door?
