A Pound of Flesh
Read early and get exclusive shorts on my Patreon! This Everyday Anxiety contains The throbber on the phone screen pulsed jauntily on the white background. She leaned her elbow on the chest-high desk at the front of the shop, wondering with vague irritation how much longer it was going to take.

March Updates
I caught ✨COVID✨ again! The next Anxiety will be up on Patreon next week instead of this one, because I need my brain to be working when I edit things and make PDFs or I end up lying under my desk moaning about default save destinations in Microsoft.

Floral Arrangements – Four
