As his final act of transformation, Harold Jenkins chose to end his life at the ripe age of ninety-two. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at his home in Pine Hills, Florida, dignity intact.

His tombstone read, “In life I was magnificent. Now I am immortal.”

Newly retired, Marian Brooks has begun to write some short fiction.  She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband. Her work has appeared in Curly Red Stories, Thick Jam and Post Card Shorts among others.
