FRED VOGEL: Welcome Home

Adventure, Submissions, , , ,

As he fumbled to open the squeaky back door, he cursed himself for not having used WD-40. And there she was, just staring at him, with her revolver at the ready.

“Thank God,” she said. “I thought you were a burglar.”

Fred Vogel is working on a collection of short stories as well as a third collection of poetry. He plays bad guitar but sings like a bird. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.

She hated sneaking around in the dark. She could barely hear the children’s breathing over the pounding in her ears. Each creak of the floorboard caused her heart to skip a beat. Her hand reached toward a sleeping child’s head, slipping beneath the pillow.

She hated playing the Tooth Fairy.
