Tale inspired by a past that felt like quicksand: “Unfurnished,” in Does It Have Pockets?

Check out a fresh story of mine — it’s titled “Unfurnished” — just up today on hip new lit site, Does It Have Pockets?

As with all things fiction, this tale has its roots all tangled up in memories of the author’s own early days out in the world, making a hash of almost everything. There’s a first time? For everything? Seriously?

Oh, yeah. If we’re lucky enough to survive our life education’s early years, we might learn to do a few things right, occasionally. Tip the scales toward normalcy, whatever that is. Maybe it’s just a painless state. Anyway, hope you enjoy.
