In celebration of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer Day at fwriction, today’s Story of the Day is “Death and Waffles,” a story I first read as editor of Ellipsis at University of New Orleans. I loved it then, and that has not changed:

“When I first met Ash she’d moved into a place a few houses down, and even though she’d only been there two weeks, she always had someone to play with. I’d lived in that neighborhood for most my life, yet I usually had to be both Batman and the Joker. There never seemed to be anyone around to fill the other parts. I didn’t mind, I was used to it really, but it was always kind of hard to capture myself and beat myself up all while I was doing the Joker’s evil monologues.”
