If you're interested, I just posted my most recent short story. This one is a lot of fun. It's a retelling of Homer's Odyssey set in the late 1970s. I had fun writing it, I hope you enjoy it!

Today, in a brutal act of punctuation abuse, a British citizen thrust an apostrophe into the word "meant."
Witnesses say this act was not protected under poetic license.
The sentence:
"A message you are mean't to hear."
More on this heinous story as it develops.
