Happy Best Microfiction 2023 Virtual Book Launch Day! Find the event on Facebook. It’s going on all day and will be archived. Here’s one of mine!

This story started in one of my writing groups, and used a newspaper story as inspiration. I read at Giant City State Park, which is part of the Shawnee National Forest. This is the Post Oak Trail, which is the most accessible trail in the park. That wooden railing behind me is built over a bluff. There are four playgrounds in Giant City. I used to bring my son there when he was little.
