    Blue Eggs From Bitch Chickens (Or, “Scenes From A Farmer’s Market”)

    June 2nd, 2011 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 17 Comments

    I fucking love the farmer’s market. Sometimes, crazy shit happens at the farmer’s market. Maybe it’s something in the air. Maybe everybody’s goofy on rhubarb. No idea what it is, only that it is.

    My wife said, “We should aspire to be more like him. Instead of What Would Jesus Do, it could be WWYD, What Would Yaga Do?” It seemed like a good idea. Our modern lives are filled with a number of woes and stresses that are largely manufactured for no other reason than to fill spaces: we all have our own self-spun stressors.

  • Flash Fiction Challenge: “A Good Dog”

    Flash Fiction Challenge: “A Good Dog”

    April 29th, 2011 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 59 Comments

    If you’re here only for the flash challenge, then the challenge is this: I want you to write about a good dog. It can be any kind of story you want, but a good dog should be present somewhere in the tale (“tail”). Adhere to those three words (“a good dog”) and you’re good to go. Think of this as a many-author tribute to my dog, your dog, and dogs in general.
