• “Predator” | Flash Fiction – Six Words

    Moonlit night. Hooo! Hooo! Still prey.               Another six worder for the Flash Fiction challenge. I must be on a six word roll.   So why am I depressed? That’s the million-dollar question, baby, the Tootsie Roll question; not even the owl knows the answer to that one. I don’t know…
