Every Friday afternoon, I’ll write a two-sentence comedy/horror story, based on a randomly generated word. This week’s word is biscuit!

Okay, that’s enough hippie philosophising, Josh… Time for the story! This one is called Blind Visitors, and I really like it! It was written for the contest Earth to Writers. I chose the prompt, “Write a story that begins and ends with someone looking up at the stars.” You can read Blind Visitors here on WordPress or over on my Reedsy profile!
