Short story publication: "Uncle Sam."

I am very pleased to (somewhat belatedly) announce that I have sold a short story to The Edge of Propinquity, the very same electronic magazine which once upon a time published my Sparrow Hill Road serial (oh, let me tell you about Rose Marshall...). I'm so pleased to be a part of this publication again, even if it's only for a visit, and not for keeps.

So it is without further ado that I tell you to go forth and read about Uncle Sam, the founding of America, why girls go to the bathroom in groups, and how Chinese restaurants can save your life, if you let them.

"Uncle Sam."

Enjoy.

Utterly creepy. I wish there were more stories attached to it! Still fantastic standalone.
Oh, and it casts a whole new light on my local theater bathroom. I've always found it innately creepy. It's a little too dim, and a little too quiet for being wedged between two cinemas, and it always has this eerie chill, as though some unspeakable horror occurred there.

...Now I want to write a suitable horror to explain it. Though Uncle Sam visiting would make a lot of sense.

I kinda like it when something is actually short. It's so novel for me!
