Now that we're all in a November state of mind.... (chilly? holiday season? early dark?) ... my humorous short story "Reasoning with Azalea" is up online on Witcraft, a journal looking for ways to win a smile.
Yes, Azalea is a plant, but she does a pretty good job defending her point of view. If you click on the title, the whole piece comes up.
It's a two-minute read at most.
Here's the link Azalea
Here are the first few lines:

Not this year.
He’ll miss me! You think you’re the reason he gets hot!
