Premium Subscriber Post

A story just for you.

Today, I’m posting one of my published stories free for all premium subscribers. For context, this story relates to my previous writing craft post titled “Four Guns: Part One.” The story is “Mercury Forges,” which appears in my second book The Ones Who Don’t Say They Love You: Stories. The story is flash fiction, so it’s a quick read. Use it for the craft lesson or just read it for your own entertainment.

Thank you to our premium subscribers for your support of Sitting in Silence. We’re able to continue due

to your largesse.

And now, here’s the story…

MY JOB was to make sure Mercury Forges didn’t escape. He was a stocky black guy in for drugs and guns. He’d gotten out of the Orleans Parish Prison twice and no one knew how he did it.
