• In the Lap of the Gods

  A couple of months ago, I introduced Gerald to the world in a short 100-word tale called Legendary Circles. I feel that tale needs a little padding here and expanding there, so here’s the first part… “I don’t believe this!” Athena sat down in frustrated contemplation, swiftly using her mouse to scroll onto the next…
