Proceed with Caution A fast-paced selection of flash fiction and short stories centering around death and transportation, with plenty of twists and turns, as well as a few sudden stops. Excerpts Burnt Offering Hell wasn’t underground, manned by Lucifer. It was a cornfield in Michigan where Delta-cremated ashes danced in between corn stalks.
