Complex Numbers

Whew!

I can venture forth again!

Not that I want to, but if I did, I could.

Yes, the incessant holiday tune barrage is (probably) over. There's only New Year's ahead, and that only has a couple of songs attached. So it's safe for me to go out again. Still not going to retail stores, though, because they'll be packed with ungrateful returners. But supermarkets are probably safe. So are bars.

My self-imposed exile has resulted in at least one benefit: I actually wrote a story.

Yes, yes, I know. Need some smelling salts?

I wrote it for a contest, and because I'm more interested in writing than in winning - and because one of the organizers is a friend - I'd love to see some other entries. You can find it here:

There's still most of a week to enter, and the word/line count requirement is fairly low.

Maybe - I don't know; I can't promise, but maybe - I can actually write more soon. That is, after all, why I came here in the first place.
