I ordered this issue of Sand Hills because well, I love @jaimegill.bsky.social’s writing. Read his first place story this morning — oh, good god, what a tender intense story it is!! Think about ordering your own copy. Sand Hills is a high quality, professional publication with gorgeous artwork!!
See, I can keep secrets! I won the Sand Hills Prose Contest in Feb but waited until now to reveal it. Its for People You May Know, my hymn to friendship and lament for its loss, a personal favourite of mine. Sadly it’s not online but you could order the mag. Look at the cover! sandhillsmagazine.com

Another disappointing broken promise. Maybe next time.
I gather the rapture is supposed to happen, yet again, tomorrow. Great. So, when ppl are randomly being picked up off the street & floating around, my boss will call me on my day off to come in, because, well, a majority of the store will be floating around in the sky with Kirk Cameron & Dean Cain.

So, last December my younger brother passed away leaving behind his aging dog Ginger. My other younger brother adopted her and tells me stories about her stubborn antics. When this hybrid piece came into our pocket, I felt compelled to make sure we published it!! Love it so very much!!
