Someone just called me “Ma’am.” Again. That’s my entry for this week’s Six Word Story Challenge at Sometimes Stellar Storyteller.

Unless you live in the South, that […]

Six Word Story Challenge: Suspicion

“She smiled warmly with frozen eyes.” That was my entry for this week’s Six Word Story Challenge at Sometimes Stellar Storyteller.
