Earlier this week I posted “Headstone” a fantastic video short voiced and built by a good friend and co-worker based on a flash fiction piece of mine, something for this spooky season, one that involves a graveyard’s groundskeeper coming across Death weeping at a long forgotten gravestone.

Kenny, The Yellow Fog (flash fiction)
Something from earlier this week at dVerse Poets …. “Björn here, trying to inspire you to write prose.
