 (just the) "Stories-Fiction" Entries "Contents" in The Rambler March 1, 2008  A flash fiction (non-genre) piece in the March-April 2008 issue of the literary magazine The Rambler. "Contents" appears on page 48, but, ironically enough, not in the issue's table of contents. Available in many independent bookshops, campus bookstores, and Barnes & Noble chains. Where to Buy.
