Jenny writes dark fiction that her mother hates. Her stories and essays have appeared in Across the Margin, Pantheon, Shimmer, Black Denim Lit, Skive, and others. When she’s not writing her own stuff, she’s reading mysteries for Criminal Element. When she’s not writing fiction or reviews, she’s writing/directing/performing/designing plays at Springs Ensemble Theatre.
I don’t really understand this one hahah, could you explain i’m really quite curious!
I really wish I could explain some of the things I write…this one was actually inspired by the legends of some Native American tribes which claim the world is carried by a turtle (Terry Pratchett riffs on the idea in his Discworld stories too). I just wanted to play with it and this what happened. 🙂
I think you’re really quite talented, hope to read more of these little stories!
That’s a good one. 🙂
I love your whimsical takes on Life, The Universe and Everything. Your turtle joke reminded me of the line in Alice in Wonderland about the turtle who was a schoolmaster. Why? Because he taught us!
Oh my gosh — Now I wanna rename the whole thing: Whimsical takes on Life, The Universe and Everything.
Nice! Keep it right where it is!
A lovely post Jenny. I too have a small tortoise in my house so could connect to your poem.
