A Walk on the Beach: A Short Story

March 14, 2025 by Abby Rice

Terry so loved this spot, I thought, dragging my toe in the wet sand. The seagulls playing get-away with the foamy front line of the waves.

The Contractor: A Short Story

September 19, 2024 by Abby Rice

“You just did what to my porch?!” I could feel my blood pressure edge toward redline. “Tell me you’re joking.” His lips pursed, but he didn’t drag the toe of his workboot or look away in shame. “It was an accident.” I swallowed back an impressive string of four-letter words. “I’m sure it was an … read more
