Oh to be here.
Emeralda Key and nothing as assured as the sun going up and down, that and the tides punctuated by the occasional hurricane to rearrange the shore, sometimes in a way that helps with less of a hike needed to reach the dock. Not so lucky a few years back, with a golf cart and a man needed, but not now.
my new short fiction piece published to my Substack at the link if you’d like to read the rest. There is no Emeralda Key: I used the name in a novel and thought it was pretty so reused it here.
