My Tiny Poem “Saturday Adoption Event at the Local Shelter”

SATURDAY ADOPTION EVENT AT THE LOCAL SHELTER 

Poor little Toby.
An abandoned 
Chihuahua. Eight
years old. Just 
another senior.
Unwanted. “He’s 
mine,” I say.
And now he is.

(First published in “The Alien Buddha’s Microdoses.”)

My Flash Fiction Story "Zinnias" Featured in "The Sparrow's Trombone"

What a fabulous surprise! Not only was this story accepted by the awesome literary magazine  The Sparrow's Trombone  a few hours after I submitted it, but it went live less than an hour after that. Wow, right?  This is such a fun magazine! The editor, Jeremy, is a joy to deal with. Such a kind heart!  The magazine is devoted to the surreal and magical realism. I don't write in that genre very often, but I did with this story. And I had great fun doing so.  Enjoy this story. No, it's not what it seems. But that's what makes it such a fun read!  ZINNIAS by Laura Stamps — The Sparrow's Trombone (thesparrowstrombone.com)
