Evading the Toad

The toad has hopped off, the centipede has finally figured out a workable sequence of steps.  I've been writing again. The 500-word flash and a story got done. The story was for the Book of Tentacles, a planned anthology, and with a name like that, how could I resist? It's been accepted and I'm thrilled. My Indian fairy-tale may appear in an anthology filled with sexy Cthulhu-type characters.
