Charlie revised his manuscript adding a postscript to the last story “Death of a Chef” and titled it “Just Desserts.”

Most of my previous drabbles have been published at Fiction Shorts but as I have fallen so far behind, I am publishing most now under my own profile. I am still using the daily random words kindly provided by Nancy Oglesby. I may or may not utilize the twist or genre depending on if it fits the story.
