Hi, Brian.

Fiction on the Web reprinted my flash piece “To Do List.” So for anyone who’s interested but couldn’t find it on the Brilliant Flash Fiction Springtime Contest site (where it was the last, alphabetically by author, of the short-list!) it’s right here.

The editor, Charlie Fish, does a nice job of presenting people’s work. The site welcomes comments if you’re moved to make one - and as always, if you know anyone you think would enjoy this, please feel free to share.

X O,

Mary

Yay, Mary. I enjoyed re-reading this piece even more than when I first heard you read it in the Wednesday afternoon class. ~ Brian
