Spring has sprung,

The Grass has ris.

I wonder where the flowers is.

And in other news, Spring—The Unexpected has launched.

My two stories for this one are The Quilt and The Thermostat. I believe that they are two of the best short stories I have ever written.

The Quilt: A handmade quilt made of a patchwork of materials becomes a treasured object full of memories and meaning as a young couple grows into a family. The pieces of life are woven into a blanket of love with a twist.

The Thermostat: Thermometers, thermostats, and Alzheimer’s. In any given setting the temperature can be told by thermometers or changed by the thermostat. One man’s attempt at change burns through the fog of memory loss at the end of life.
