2011 Year in Review - Men in Uniform Challenge

I had assumed I would be reading at the Captain level reading between 11-15 books. I read 31, again I underestimated myself. Even if I take off audio books and the one book that brought a small debate about what a uniform is I still beat my estimate.

55 Flash Fiction Friday - Day Off

This meme is hosted by Mr. Knowitall . This is a 55 Fiction I wrote back in college as part of my creative writing class. Dallas Swat’s Day Off “What’s wrong?” She asked groggily waking from a sound sleep. “It’s work I have to go in. Sorry.” He climbs out of bed looking at his pager. “You know I understand. I feel bad for you it was your day off.” She sits up watching him get dressed. He kisses her. “Be safe.”
