Dom pulled into a charming little railway station. A shiny silver train sat on the tracks, looking incongruously modern next to the quaint yellow building decked out in holiday finery.

"This is the station in Pika's snow globe," Macario noted.

"It is indeed," Dom confirmed. “We’ve arrived just in time!�

Dom carried Macario’s duffel bag to the train.

100 Words from C. L. Hart
I wouldn’t have admitted this when I was younger, but having a routine is critical for my ADHD brain. Otherwise, I spiral into frustration and hours wasted playing mobile games. I try to rise between 5:30 and 6 AM so I can participate in the Monday-Thursday Passionate Ink writing sprints. (). This gets my day off to the right start. I’m always working on multiple projects, so I utilize the Saturday Passionate Ink sprint (11 AM to 1 PM MST) to work on a secondary project.This routine helps me keep a handle on the many irons in my fire.

About the Author:

C. L. Hart, the owner and sole employee of Naughty Netherworld Press, is spoken of in hushed tones. She is described as The Mad Scribe of the Northeastern Colorado Plains, The Terrible Old Woman, and The Author That Should Not Be.

When not penning sanity-destroying works of dystopian fiction, Lovecraftian fantasy, or old-school horror with the occasional sweet romance thrown in to upset the cosmic apple cart, Ms. Hart enjoys creating baked goods she hopes will be considered palatable.

Ms. Hart shares a home in a remote rural town of 134 souls with her adult son and three cats. Her sense of fashion is best described as Early Twenty-First Century Unmade Bed. This disabled former nurse can usually be found arguing with herself about subplots or rehabilitating eldritch horrors.
