"Bader Field" The larger vision

My story pays homage to a great man, my father, whose extraordinary qualities made him anything but ordinary. It took more than twenty years of attempts for me to wade through the love and pain of those days long gone, digging into the recesses of the past, to paint his portrait with the everlasting impressions so emblazoned in my being.

Fabulist Flash 203

It's been a super two weeks. The Turkey Day break was pleasant and I completed the NaNoWriMo challenge. It's amazing to me that we really can accomplish a great deal if we take it on in small bites. They really do add up—both while eating turkey and writing a novel.
