Unveiling the first of my Etudes, a new experiment / challenge I started this weekend to cleanse my narrative palette in the throes of Main Thing work: microfictions written, from chickenscratch to consumption public, on a single weekend, accompanied by a piece of featured “art” (as it’s “art” by my hand, I’m using the term in the loosest, most charitable form possible), shared above.

Here’s the first effort, MARIONETTE, written from Saturday morning through just now. (I seem to be using my music notation again.) My part is done – hope you enjoy.
