My story SOUP BEAN ANNIE, celebrating hoboes and the women who love them, up at the fine litzine PURE SLUSH. Much thanks to Matt Potter, editor extraordinaire, for featuring my work.
And please, drop a comment HERE so I'll donate another dollar to help our friends across the biggest pond.
Peace, Linda

great imagery in a short piece. the signs were particularly vivid to me, and something I'd never heard of before.
ReplyDeleteGreat story, Linda. I particularly liked the wolfish imagery in the end - it gave a wary feeling to the men.
ReplyDeleteLoved it!!
ReplyDeleteLoved your story, Linda. The line about the bed as cold as the root cellar was perfection.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for reading! I started this story as a response to one of the 52/250 themes (password), but it got larger than 250 words. The initial inspiration came from a guest 'preacher' who re-enacted a hobo for his sermon. Soup Bean Annie was a real person, and I was captivated by her kindness, and wanted to understand the reason for her charity. Hence the fiction. Peace...
