With an uncharacteristic offering, I have returned to your midst.
Here is a new story called “The Dance, A Romance”
Just to throw everyone off, there are no deaths, battles or magics. I tried to make it a real, bonafide romance. Let me know, eh?

Hi Rachael,
I appear to have recovered from my holiday story burnout, and I was able to cobble together something for this week. It’s memoir, actually, which you don’t have a category for, although I suppose you could put it under humor. Link is here: http://cathleentownsend.com/2016/01/11/a-worms-tale/. 🙂
