Wrapping up “Stories You Probably Missed” week

The destruction/construction crew showed up a half-hour before dawn this morning and they’ve been hammering and sawing away ever since, trying to get the job finished today, so my ability to concentrate is not quite what it might be. The plan for today was to wrap up “Stories You Probably Missed” week with the last of the stories we published during the period when we couldn’t get into our social media accounts to promote the publications, but the more I look at “Scavenger Hunt,” by Jeff Currier


Jeff Currier is another writer you should be watching. He doesn’t write a lot of stories, nor does he write the sort of long stories that make writers’ reputations, but the stories he’s sent us so far are all quite good, and we have more in the queue we’ll be publishing soon. If I had to pick just one story that I think you should read right now, because it showcases Jeff’s talents so well, I’d point you to—

 “A Curse and a Blessing”

Jeff wrote this one last September for 1999 Week, and he really took the idea and ran with it in a completely unexpected and delightful direction. Looking back: all the stories we published in 1999 Week were good, but this one was truly outstanding.  » READ IT NOW

After you’ve enjoyed “A Curse and a Blessing,” you might also want to look at:

 “The Fate of Time Travelers”

 

“Temporal Avoidance Game”


“The Foulest of Them All”


And of course, at the story that prompted this post:

“Scavenger Hunt”

Enjoy!
