F is for Figuring out a thing or two

For this year’s A to Z, I will be doing a collection of flash fiction featuring Steven, the MC from Blackbird, from right before he came to Newstead through his first year there.  

F is for Figuring out a thing or two

The next morning I cut behind the house by the school. The light that’s normally left on for me isn’t; it’s as dark as all the rest.

Must just be blown, I think as I make my way toward it.

Actually, I can see just fine in the dark. I’ll have to tell Coach that from now on he doesn’t have to bother with the light.

I reach for the handle.

It doesn’t turn in my hand. I take a step back and take another look at the light. The filament seems just fine.

I nod to myself as I back away, seeing things clearly.  

I am giving out review copies of Blackbird through Story Cartel, in exchange for Amazon Reviews (And blog reviews would be great, too) before it’s official release date on May 1^st.  You can get your copy here  Also, Story Cartel is doing a big giveaway of its own this month, so signing up for a review of any book featured there puts your name in that pot.
