My Little Secrets

1 Can you keep a secret? You should. It is really not that hard to, especially when you know that there will be consequences if you can’t. My older brother Craig Jr., or C.J, as my parents called him, couldn’t keep a secret, and he found out what happens the hard way. We’ll get to that later. First, let’s talk a little bit about our background and how things ended up the way they are now.   We were born and brought up in the small West Texas town of Little Comanche, population 247. Our parents, Craig an...

Back to School

How To Kill A Weatherman

Weekly Contest #47

You know that weatherman? The one they call “Doppler Dan”. You remember the day he started working at Channel 4 News. The other anchors at the station seemed to enjoy his quirky jokes but when you watched him you saw something else. Something you just didn’t like. ​There’s another news broadcast you can watch on a different channel, but the news isn’t as good. The anchorwomen aren’t nearly as pretty and the quality of news isn’t nearly as well delivered. You’ve been loyal to Channel 4 since you st...
