I find it ironic that a large percentage of the US population-celebrating independence from tyranny-will be supporting tyranny wrapped in the colors of our flag

I present Ride On, a flash fiction story inspired by the AC/DC song. @martachowanska.bsky.social, admin of my online writer group, held an in-house flash fiction challenge. This is my entry. Then, I got the idea to bring it to life graphically. Enjoy!

Last year we lost my buddy Zeus. He’d been unwell for a while, and he finally crossed that rainbow bridge. I really miss that crazy guy.
Now the happy part. Meet Ricky Ricardo! 14 weeks old and 100% energy. I’ve said goodbye to sleep, productivity, and sanity.

I just found a site that allows you to make social cards without breaking the bank. Social.Cards, The subscription is $40ish. The interface is wonky, but the price is right.
Oh, and I cleaned up last year in the awards category! 2 for 2.
