Description:

Flash-fiction: “The First Time.” Everyone is anxious the first time, right?

Excerpt:

“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked. “I’m sure,” she said. He wasn’t convinced. “If you’re not ready, we can wait.” “No, I’m ready, I’m just a little nervous.” Her voice shook a little. “I get that. I was nervous too, the first time.”

Description:

In which the Bathtub Mermaid kicks off her participation in the Dog Days of Podcasting Challenge  by sharing a short story she wrote.

Excerpt:

You all know the story, I’m sure. Mild-mannered school-teacher Ichabod Crane comes to Tarrytown to lead the charge for education, falls in love with Katrina, and has a series of run-ins with a Hessian on horseback, a soldier name of Brom Bones who lost his head – quite literally – by a single, spectacular, sword-stroke. Goes around now with some squash or gourd tucked under one arm.
