Today’s Flash Fiction - Fire Dragon

I’ve started a Friday Flash Fiction on my blog. Today’s flash is a 750 word one called Fire Dragon.

Check out my blog or I’ve also posted it to my Flash Fiction page on this website.

Wind and (No) Power

One of the downsides to living in the Pacific NorthWet is that we get wind storms. Not like tornados or hurricanes but still really annoying. Today we had one, a bit earlier than the norm but not too strong.

Like rats deserting a sinking ship, people started leaving work at about… oh… 2pm. The freeways were a disaster by 3:30.

I had a 4pm meeting and got home about 5:30. C and I took Morganator out to McDonald’s — his treat for being good in school. According to our UPS, the power went out within the next 5 to 10 minutes.

Joy

when we called, there were 100,000 out of power that were serviced by our power co.

Thankfully it came back on about 8:15 or I’d not be posting this :)
