Big Bad

What if the villain of your fairy tale was not what he was made out to be? The truth behind the fiction.

Bill “Big Bad” Wolf has been in law-enforcement since the beginning. The moniker “Big Bad” only applies to him if you are a criminal and he has your scent. 

He was a housing inspector in the early days. His first big investigation was to check the safety of the constructions of the Three Little Pigs. The word on the street was that they were not following building code as was evidenced by Mr. Wolf’s investigations; two of their buildings were structurally unsound. The corrupt contractors put up a substantial resistance but through the persistent efforts of Mr. Wolf they were finally brought to justice.

A Letter from Teddy

Warning: graphic violence, strong language and mature themes

The following is a macabre tale of horror and a perverse comedy. A short piece of fiction exploring a darker reality.

I'm coming for you, Sully. 

I'm coming for you. Tonight. 

You won't see me coming, you won't hear me coming but you will know when I am there slitting your throat.

Cemetery Man

A flash-fiction prompt from the Mid-Michigan Prose and Writing Group workshop I lead. This one is based on three sequential one-minute prompts. Hope you like it.

Read Cemetery Man.
