Dealer's Rules

Something’s alive within the internet. It plays solitaire when it’s bored, and hates to see other players make stupid decisions. As it grows, it becomes much smarter, and far more aggressive. David Moran scoffs at it at first. Too late, he learns to fear and fight it.

Kip's Micro Fiction

Two very short stories, from a contest where no entry could exceed four hundred words. 

Looper

Can an ugly, lovelorn genius turn world diplomacy on its ear? All Arnie Lustiger wanted was a little affection. Vivian Luck showed him his invention had far more potential.

Tasker's Grass

This short story is a finalist in the Florida Writer’s Association 2021 Literary Palm Award Competition.
