• Drabbles by Salsify by Salsify

  Here are a handful of drabbles I've written lately, 100 words being about all I can fit onto phone message notes at work. I'm beginning to like being put on hold. "First Contact" is a prequel to my story "Dinner Guests", and probably won't make much sense if you haven't read that. Persons of refined taste and delicate sensibilities should probably skip that one.
