This week's short story is A Vulture Waits. Another Guillermo Tavarez crime story, the first, in fact. Short and suspenseful. Originally published in Fiction River: Justice edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. books2read.com/u/4A96ap
This week's short story. Magnitude And Insignificance. A tale of a very short invasion by a toy-sized alien species. Originally published in Snot-Nosed Aliens edited by Dean Wesley Smith. books2read.com/u/bwMOWa
Here's another short story for the week. Walking Nonexistent was originally published in the anthology, No Secrets Better Kept, edited by Dayle Dermatis. This story is both surreal and dream-like. I found the perfect art for the cover, too. books2read.com/u/bQ07wd
Dispatch From The Other Side originally appeared in The Golden Door edited by Jamie Ferguson. My story involves a mysterious and infamous postcard and a young protagonist who lost his family crossing the southern border when he was just a baby. There's a slight science fiction element to it.
I think studios should be more patient with woman-led properties especially where superheroes are concerned. Trolls poisoning the well are causing distress but are mostly an overly-loud subgroup not representive of the movie going audience. Women can and should be allowed to be superheroes.

"Uncomfortable Shoes" is a short story originally published in Pulphouse. Wanted to write about a shoeshine stand with a shoeshiner who can see a customer's future. Got that plus a romance. I choose to believe the shoeshiner made the right choice in the end and everything worked out all right.
