Kat Folland's Early Retirement

This is the first in what I hope to be many short stories. The project is simple, I’m taking $5 from folks who are willing to have me kill them. I mean, write them into a short or flash fiction story and kill them off. It’s a fun and morbid tirade for sure. But it also highlights something of a bit of a decision I’ve made in my life of late, I’m ready to begin making money as a writer. I love writing too much to not take it more seriously than a hobby and try to live off it (somewhat).

Here's the pitch:

About Kat Folland

As an introduction to the story, with Kat’s permission I stalked her Google+ profile (she and I have been circled for a few years now). I was looking for some inspiration and it came in the form of an exam room selfie, in which she was wearing a scarf and black trench coat.

Once I saw the image, I knew where I was headed with the story and the rest came naturally.

Kat is a wonderful person, author, and photographer. She’s also a breast cancer survivor, so you know she’s tough as nails. Enjoy the story!

About the Story
