A day of reference in the Roman calendar like the Kalends or the Nones except in this case a day where one man is plagued by prophecy…
“What does a mere mortal know about life or death?” Julius grimaces
“He will believe he is safe with us. Let’s make his last moments memorable.” The best of the ’44 is poured.
Friday Flash Fiction (hosted each week by the G-Man) is a fun and challenging way to put your skill to the test by writing a story in 55 words. Happy Ides of March to one and all.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

Ouch… He didn’t know he had to take care. He wouldn’t have stood a chance anyway and, from what I’ve read about him, he was as blood thirsty as they all were in those days.
Great 55!

ARGH! So true! Giving fans a deal usually doesn’t work. You must cucllaate how many readers you have to ADD to make up for the money you lose with the lower price. At the Gorilla price point, you are losing 18 cents per copy between $2.95 and $2.50.On 20,000 per issue sales, at 1 issue per month, that’s $43,200 PER YEAR PER BOOK.Are you going to sell enough comics based on the lower price point alone to make up that $43,200?No. Consider the shortfall over a line of 8 books with an average monthly sale of 20,000. $345,600. OW.I wish I knew then what I know now! LOL!
