A convenience store is the setting for my story "Filthy Habit," about a warning that came too late. It's another one for @witchingmetal66.bsky.social and his Pistol Jim magazine.

Thanks to @witchingmetal66.bsky.social for taking a chance on my story for the latest theme at Pistol Jim Press. This oneβs a bit of a departure in that itβs a piece of creative nonfiction, which doesnβt bode well for me when the theme is βNails in the Coffin.β π³π
