I wrote this specifically for the New Fairy Tales online magazine, and have been kind of anxious to let others see it for a while, but reluctant to post it before I got word back about the state of my submission. Just got word it wasn't accepted, so I figure it's free game to post it now!
Death, You SOB (1 522 words, PG-13)
One moment, like when you're rescuing a small kitten from a tree and fall, far enough and at enough of an angle to break your neck. One moment, like when you cross the street because you spot an old friend and get sideswiped by a car. That's all it takes: one moment to change everything.
