Flash Fiction: Cut from a Different Rock
I took my time, but when I got to the top, it was a sight to see. I had climbed for three hours without any breaks. I took a few pictures when I noticed movement up ahead. I lowered my camera and that is when I saw something hiding behind a rock formation. It didn’t…

Most of us struggle with our weight unless you’re one of the fortunate ones who like to exercise like crazy and watch their weight like hawks. This made me think of the actors and actresses who lost or gained quite a bit of weight for a role. There are pros and cons to this. It’s…
