I didn't want to post this, because as of this writing my blog has been viewed 999 times. I like numbers like 999. Leave me alone.

Anyhow, the online blog-style version of the literary journal Opium Magazine has been kind enough to publish a really short story of mine. You can view it at this link:

 http://www.opiummagazine.com/Index.aspx?storyid=2062

I don't know how to actually link, so you'll have to copy and paste, which I know is a lot to ask when I'm already asking you to read my fiction. But like I said, it's super-short. The folk(s) at Opium think my story takes exactly 1 minute and 26 seconds to read. Time yourself.

And no, there is no pickled okra left. Sorry. (This will be an inside joke between me and the people who read not only the story, but also my bio, which is at the end of the story.)

Thank you for reading and may the amount of beer in your refrigerator always be to your liking.
