Baking a new batch o' short stories, reading a super old novel

One short story down, nine to go. The first one is a strange, creepy little story--just the way I like it!

I'm also loving the read-through of a sci-fi novel I wrote way back in 2003. Back then, I had a terrible editing phobia, so I just tucked it away and forgot about it. Glad to have re-discovered it!
