Those In Hiding Are About To Rise – Laszlo Aranyi
The following story might reflect badly on me again. One of my “misdeeds” from my early childhood might defend me though. In my hometown, a major construction project began, and the long out of use cemetery that had been hiding next to the Carmelite monastery fell victim to it. The…

Par For The Course – Russell Thayer
Gunselle smashed a lofty drive off the ninth tee at Harding Park, brown hair bouncing in sunshine as she posed for the trailing foursome. An ear splitting wolf-whistle escaped a birdbrain’s lips. She turned to stare at him with one raised eyebrow. “Hey. I was just admiring your follow-through,” said…
