High Tea

Weekly Contest #362

High TeaAuthor: Ron Henson Aurelia flung the front door open with the velocity of an Olympic disc thrower. In front of her was the one person she was expecting to see at the entrance to her home.

The Comic Cop

Weekly Contest #265

The Comic CopRon Henson PhD            CC had never been to this precinct over the years, or in this town in the panhandle of Texas, so he had to stop and ask directions a few times before arriving at his destination, interrogation room 1. There were, of course, a couple of officers stationed at the one-way mirror that was affixed to the wall next to the door into the room. He took a second to assure them of his identification.
