A flash-length story in the Harold Stumbo series. Harold was an illegal horse race bookie, and he's trying to stay retired and out of jail. He lives with his autistic wife on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. "Homesick" was published by Every Day Fiction on 10/10/15. The story is about 1000 words long, so it should only take you five minutes
or so, if you’d like to read it. Leave a comment and a rating. Thanks so much!

The Radiant entered a high, slow orbit around Lumen.
Alone in his tiny quarters,
Specialist Johnten stared from the port window at the charcoal-black nightside
of the planet. No lights broke the gloom below...
Another lonely, silent world.
Like me...
Not the Wrong Planet (1080 words) was first published in the near professional level e-mag Penumbra in the November 2014 issue. But the parent company, Musa, went out of business early in 2015 and took down all its past issues.
But, the story is out again as of December 2015 at AntipodeanSF, an online Australian-based publication. Find it RIGHT HERE. In January, 2016, AntiSF made it available as an audio podcast read by me. The podcast may be heard HERE.
