"A Very, Wary Christmas" off to F&SF

One 3,000 word story (shortest ever written) off to Gordon Van Gelder at F&SF. It's a light fantasy with humor, and I hope he enjoys it. Not a lot of markets for short humorous fantasy. If I can't sell it to a major market, it might go straight to Book View Cafe. Humor is usually forgotten when awards come due, and I need money more than ego-boo.

It has humor, Christmas, a haunted dollhouse, a 50's Elvis collector figurine, and a yeti. What's not to like?

Special thanks to incandragon for pointing me toward a title!

It was only 18 years, and they went fast....

Now I know why Max was giving me the look whenever I said he was 19. He was only 18. But I am famous for forgetting actual age, and usually try to duck the subject.

Eighteen years, one month, seventeen days. Time flies when you're having fun.
