That was not the first time Wally would invade our house. He was quite a character.

Sandwiches for the Soul by Michael M. Jones In the tangle of streets affectionately referred to as the Haystack, set away from the worst of Puxhill’s downtown chaos, there’s a place where shops come and go at their own whim, usually with no …

LOVED this story by Michael M. Jones aka @oneminutemonkey.bsky.social in @factorfourmagazine.com. "Sandwiches for the Soul" is exactly what it says on the tin!

In my head, Hardison studied their work and knows all about Setac Astronomy. And Eliot ran into Agent Abbott at some point. These stories obviously coexist. Ask me someday about the Leverage Extended Universe…

(Like Nate knows the protags/events of Thomas Crown Affair and Entrapment!)

Irish Wolfhound. When you’re into horses but the HOA won’t let you have a pony. This is George. He likes second, third, and fourth dinners and visits everyone on the block.

Pekinese. Who doesn’t love yappy dust mops? This is Dreamer. He’s basically a male model. He gives good cuddles.

Question about the TRUNK anthology: are you considering stories which were previously submitted to (and rejected by) Metaphorosis? (Whether original or reprint). Or is that getting -too- meta? πŸ˜†

Fluffy orange cat and fluffy black cat together on top of small cat tree. The black cat has a rear paw in the air like he’s asking a question. Yes, we violated his dignity.

To be fair, the differences between wallet and phone have been mostly erased. Between everything going digital, and people sticking their cards and licenses into their phone cases...

He's a Youtube asshole who makes money by exploiting gullible people and offering money for ridiculous, dehumanizing challenges. He also shills shitty offbrand goods with his name on them. In short, he's a professional shitbag.
