The little girl's a sweetie.
The old lady's crazy.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Depends on how you look at it.
And if you head over to 101 Fiction's June issue, you can read my story, Perception, and judge for yourself.
After all, the devil is in the details.

I'm taking a blogging break for the rest of June. I'll still be around but won't be posting anything new (probably) until July's IWSG.
I'm taking a break next week. Good time for it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break, Alex!
DeleteEnjoy your break, Madeline. Well deserved. Congrats on publishing another story.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Murees! I think all that Story A Day work last month is finally catching up with me - I'm beat. :)
DeleteEnjoy your break. I'll be gone on family vacation for the rest of June too. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time!
DeleteLoved your flash! Have a great break.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nick!
DeleteEnjoy your break! I'll probably take a blogging break at some point. Almost did today, actually, but it didn't quite work out...
ReplyDeleteThanks! I liked those pics you put on your blog post today. :)
DeleteWow! That was a really good story. I still wasn't sure if Helen is seeing things as they are or in a not-quite-so-sane way, but it was a really cool story. If she is in her right mind ... ooh, what neighbors!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful June!
Thanks, Tyrean! Hmm, is what you see what you get? I don't know.... :)
DeleteGreat time for a break. Enjoy. I'll swing by and read your story.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteCongrats, Madeline! Great to see you have another story in print. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, JH! I'm glad you liked it. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by! It's always nice to see a familiar face when you've been gone as long as I have.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Good to see you back at blogging. :)
DeleteDefinitely going to check it out. I know little girls can be the devil (Bad Seed, Orphan, Case 39).
ReplyDeleteI've nominated you for the Liebster Award, too! http://www.thewritemage.com/2017/06/liebster-award-2017.html
I agree, Deb. :) I hope you like the story!
DeleteAnd thanks for the nom!
I didn't know you had it in you. Well done.

You didn't know?! Where have you been? :)
DeleteAre you twisting people's perceptions, again? Awesome. I will definitely pop over and read it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't really have any normal, useful skills.... :)
DeleteRead your story! Very cool and creepy. :) Have a great break!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Loni! :)
DeleteYou did a super job with that story.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break!
Thanks, Susan! I appreciate you reading.
DeleteExcellent story! And it is amazing how much characterization comes through in 100 words.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lee!
DeleteYou are such a rock star with these flash pieces!! Amazing! I loved the story. Kudos to you as always. :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Julie! I really appreciate that. :)
