Friday 23/08/2019 #35 Zombies

23/08/2019

I know last week I said NO zombies, and they are a cliche most publishers avoid, but . . . avoid the cliche. Do zombies with a twist. There's a TV serie iZombie, wherein the protagonist - a zombie - eats the brain of a murderer, or victim, and gains... Read more →

I did a Random Song prompt a while ago, but will repeat it this time with a specific location - the cottage. You kick back, relax, and pull up a random tune. Where does the story go now? Here's a link to a random song site, with including links to... Read more →

Since my birthday was the 18th (yay) I though that would make a good theme. I'll narrow it down a bit for you, though. Scenario: It's a birthday, with a cake, and candles. Someone makes a wish and there are consequences. I'll leave those, as well as who did what,... Read more →
